The Hawea'a gig won the ship's boat race through the other boats mistaking the course. Tho yachts Secret and Winona were to leave Lyttutton for Nelson yesterday. A Tremendous Convc&sion takes places in the human interior during a " billioua" attack. The muscles of the stomach are spasmodically contracted, the gall bladder is violently squeezed and empties bile into the stomach, which is again convulsed and casts out its contents into the mouth. The cause of this internal commotion is purely gastric, although the blame is often laid upon the liver. Invigorate the stomach with Udolhpo Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps if you would avoid "billious" attack.~Advt.
