Many poor man, II required to ac-
count for the manner in which he has
expended his income, would md bills of
his family physician for medical services
among the leading Items. In seven cases
out of ten acute diseases are the result Of
some neglected chronic disease. Thus,
fevers invariably result from diseased
conditions of the blood and liver, and
the timely use of Alternative 8pd blood
purifying and catbartic remedies would
have averted the prostrating illness, that
often leaves the system irreparably in
jured DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are the best Alternative and cathartic
medicines yet compounded. Full direc-
tions are gwen for administering them,
together with an accurate description Of
the symptoms deman ling their USE
They viii! not cure all human ills as
some medicines are advertised TO dol but
they will care the disease for which they
are compounded and recommended.

A London paper says that letters re-
ceived from the Cape state that the
Empress Eugene, during her stay at
Durham, was to occupy the same room
in Government House, to ride in the
same carriage and eat from the same
table as Prince Louis Napoleon did.
Travelling in Cape carts, she was
timed to reach Ityotyozzi, where the
Prince was killed, ON the anniversary Of
his death. Round the spot where the
two troopers, who fell at the same time
as the Prince, are buried, ditch has
been dug and wal raised, so as Ia
form a small cemetery, in which trees
and violets have been planted. &C.
booda, the leader Of the Zulus who at
tackled the Prince aud his party, has
given solemn promise in presence o.
Major Slabb that the graves should
never be desecrated.
