HEALTH IN THE WILDERNESS.  THE GREAT ANTIDOTE TO MIASMA,  The axe and the plough are annually making vast inroads into the wilderness of the western world. Forests, as if by magic are changed into cornfields, awl prairi. s, s.vauips, and canebrakes into arable land. But these conquests of industry are not achieved without loss. tiundrede, aye thousands of the energetic pioneers whoselabours have caused the wilderness to' blossom as the rose,' fall a sacrifice to the terrible diseases engendered by the miasma of the rod. Violent intermittent and remittent fevers, rneurnatisui, neuralgia, and affections of the stomach and bowels, are almost inevitable penalties incurred by families who 83tt1e on new lands. Itence it is that the demand for Holloway's Pills and Ointment in the far West is 80 large In proportion to the population. The cultivators of the soil on tbe outskirts of civilization look upon them, and with reason, as among the prime necessaries of life. In the more densely populated regions of the West they are universally considered specifics for the diseases we have named ; end the provitent farmer takes care to fore-arm his family against the prostrating influence of an insalubrious atmosphere and climate, by keeping a supply of the remedies constuntly on hand. This will he no news to such of our readers as have travelled in the West. There, as in the North, the East and the South, the prestige of the medio+nes is constantly increasing, and ruolloway's rumness in the glorious work of mitigating human euffering, and saving and prolonging human life, is spoken ot among all classes with wonder and gratitude. We believe that there is scarcely it family in Europe tuat does not keep these medicines by them ; the soldier carries trie:n in his knapsack, and the sailor has them always ready to Land in his chest for every casu of emergency, eilier from internal or external complaints, kuowing, that by the aid of these wonderful medicines he may brave the disease of any climate with impunity,—Greeannelt.

STARTLING NEWS is daily coining to hand of sad accidents, murders and minor criminal offences, but it is astonishing that thousands of people die in our midst every week, and no notice is taken of the fact. Yet such a terrible calamity could be preventad if more stringent attention was paid to the laws of health. If people would only deal seriously with slight ailments hey would not develop into fatal diseases. Tuere are Lhousauds of persons killed yearly simply through negmet. Holloway's Pills and Ointment van prevent as well as cure disease, and if they were used according to tllreelims, there would soon be a decrease in the death-rate. They can be ohtained from all chemists and medicine vendors.  The Right lion. 431.
