A little further along the cliffs the old

on the very lip of a precipice all but

most notable case is that OF the city Of
Dunwich. the ancient capital of East An
glia, which boasted sixty churches and q
mint. ..
1t furnished forty ships to Henry III, and
forest lay between the town and the
cliffs. Robert. earl Of Leicester was APP

became the seat of the principal see Of all
eastern Anglia.

In Yorkshire alone there are no fewer

In the county OF Suffolk there are at least

But Il Is Cornwall that has lost most
in the ceaseless battle with the sea. Ac-
cordlng to a survey made in the reign Of
Edward l. the duchy contained 100000
acres: by 1850 the parliamentary reports
gave It only 96O,0OO acres; and the latest
ordnance survey gives Cornwall but 10000
acres.

Treatment of Hyomei.
Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach

The first breath of Hy-o.mei's medi-
Gated air soothes the Inflammation,
