the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it FIRE.
quently extends to the top Of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss Of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax; /;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-.
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss Of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation OF hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains Of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning. and he complains Of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several Of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few Of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. C.. McLANE's LIVER Pills, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive Of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

THE TEAPOT TEMPEST.

The retail crockery and glassware dealers have for
long time been much exercised about the falling off
In their trade. and have attributed to the fact that
certain tea dealers were giving away crockery and
glassware presents each pound of tea sold by these
dealers emitting the purchaser to u ticket which
represented tho whole part Of some piece OF
crockcry or glassware After several conferences
the crockery dealers decided to form organization
under the name of the Crockery aud Glassware
Dealers Protective Association. for the pur-
pose Of taking some means to offset the in
roads made on their business by the tea
dealers. The second formal meeting of this
association held yesterday afternoon, at No. 20
College place. Mr.. Bernard Fitzpatrick presided
aud Mr.. l.. ID. Seixas acted as secretary. About
twenty-five persons were present. II was reported
that nearly all the retail crockcry deaers the city
and vicinity had expressed themselves In sympathy
with the object OF the association.
The following resolution was offered by Mr..
McGurrin. and was carried by an almost unanimous
votc:-
Resolved That the members OF this association will sell
from their stores strictly wholesale prices teas and
sn,s after that Gate
There was a great deal of discussion before the
resolution passed to the advisability of first
waiting upon the tea deaiers but the majority wero
ut he opinion that IL would be sign OF weakness
the part OF the associatonhat the tea dealers were
the aggrcssors. and should rather the crock

of Mr.. II ,binson, however q committee finally
appointed to wait on the tea dealers One thousand
copies of the resolutions we're ordered to be printed

out New York and its environs The crockery men
,aim that they sell the tea which is usually
sold at the tea stores for sixty seventy and eighty
cents pound, for twenty-five, thirty and thirty
cents. and still make small profit They also state
that the crockery given away by the tea stores
