We know OF no work that would be more
Generally read by the medico.legal world, or

nor do we know Of any medicine that is more
happily adapted TO the alternating of the pains

wrench the system or shock the most enfee-

growing impression that theil

er, and they did not find anything
better than to appeal to the so
called ahti.English idea of pro.
lection, for this only can stop the
evil, since as long as poor Cuban
rum will be able to reach Jamaica,
it will be christened as Jamaica
rum when reshipped to foreign
countries. But we DO not believe
that the evil exists in this cause,
for the renown of France for wine,
Of Havana for cigars, has never
suffered because Swiss wine il
sold for French or horrible Bre-
men and Ha mburg cigars trans
ported to Cuba and reshipped
from there to be sold for Havaras.

West Indian negroes have been
llominally emancipated, but with.

independence. Besides, 'sthe
