in health. With torpid liver and the
impure blood that follows Il, you are
an easy prey to all sorts of ailments.

warming that your liver isn't doing its
work.

When the British under Clinton sud

New Jersey, Washington. with his
whole army. pushed on as rapidly as
possible TO intercept them before they
reached New York. Late on the after
neon OF the 18th. the American army,

A squatter in the back blocks of New
South Wales had a young steer with
horns so perfectly turned that they form
cd two artistic loops at the sides Of his
head. One day Boss strayed with a
mob Of store cattle into a piece of wild
country infested only by kangaroos and
the out-station boundary riders fami-

These cattle are rounded up and other

annual yarding took place, Boss had
