CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
yoR TIL CURE OF
Hepatitisi 81 or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of q Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
L edgeofthe ribs, increases onpres-
lure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder; blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general arc costivc, sometimes alter
nativewith lax; the head is troubled
withpain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
Thcrcisgenerally aconsiderablc loss
ofmcmory,ac accompanied withapain-
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. Aslight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofwearincss and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet arc cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exerciscwould be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitudc enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several Of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex,
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
II AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills,
IN CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quininc, arc productive
ofthemost happyresults. No better
rathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quininc. We
would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them A
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
us a simple purgativc, they arc I'M
equaled.

A WORK.

The Tunnel BetsVeen England and France.
It is now three-quarters of a century
since the project was preached of driving
a tunnel through the chalk formation
underlying the British channel between
some point on the English coast and the
opposite point on the coast of France.
Although the distance between Dover
and Calais is only twenty-five miles, and
is traversed by steamers in an hour and a
half in fair weather, yet the roughness
of the channel is at all times such as to
be very distressing to all but experienced
travellers, and deters many persons from
making the trip at all. Since the intro
duction of railways 0rty years ago the
tunnel project which Mr.. Matthew, a
French engineer, laid before Bonaparte
in 1902 has acquired year by year addi"
tional Importance. About ten years
ago the subject was revived with much
earnestness, and after the experimental
tests were fond to be satisfactory the
governments of England and France
granted the right of way to a channel
company which was incorporated in 1872
This company has since decided to place
the route of the tunnel con a line drawn
from the south foreland on the English
side to a point between Sangatte and
Calais, in France"
The tunnel, lift should be constructed,
will commerce and end at some distance
inland, to allow for a gradual descent on
ous side and ascent on the other. The
inland parts of the tunnel will be nine
miles in length, counting the distance
underground at both ends. The length
of the tunnel under the channel will be
twenty-five miles, making the total
length thirty-two miles. The cost of
simply driving the tunnel from end to
end through the underlying chalk for
nation is estimated at four millions of
dollars, and the time it would require to
construct the driftway two years. The
engineers1calculated it would take four
more years to finish the work, including
the arching Of the tunnel, building the
offices, and making the necessary connec-
tions with the railway on both sides.
The total cost is put at twenty millions
of dollars. A. short time ago q meeting
Of the Tunnel company was held IN

Mormon M'Crary, brother of the secre-
tary of war, has been a Mormon for the
past twenty-five years, and has now gone
to Washington to see his brother. He has
two wives. The other day a reporter of
the Corinne Record interviewed one of
his sons, who was quite communicative.
He said his father had taken his second
wife about eighteen months ago. "She
was a widow named Thornton, and had
a batch of young ones by her former
husband. But Lord you ought to have
