Hollow-ay's Oixtmext and Pills —Diseases of Advanced Years.— When man has passed to the borders of old age, the digestion becomes impaired, the nervous system grows feeble, and the physical power shows increased weakness. Hence arise congestion of the liver, lungs, or head, followed by dropsy, asthma, or apopiexy, which too frequently afflict the aged. The liver usually first becomes torpid, but its activity may speedily be revived by rubbing Holloway's Ointment thoroughly over the pit of the stomach, and right side, at least twice a day and taking the Pills at the same time. This treatment also cures all other congested organs, by varying the parts rubbed according to the situations of the congestions.

Iv some of the wheat crops in South Australia, the rust is already showing. A new ironclad of the A jax type is to be laid down at Portsmouth Dockyard in October. The Board of Trade returns for the first half of IS7B are unfavorable, showing a continuous decline, in exports, and also a falling-ofl in the consumption of all the more important articles contributing to the revenue. It is said that Queen Victoria, the other day, inadvertantly explained her partiality for her present Prime Minister by remarking : " When Mr Gladstone was my Prime Minister he was always telling me his opinion and the opinion of the country. Lord Beaconsfield asks for the opinion of the soverign." Mr Schroeder, the inventor of the new airship, is not only ingenious but a fellow of infinite jest. At a trial trip made at Hartford, Conn., recently, he took up a live pig as additional ballast. After flying some twenty niiles he hovered above a Baptist camp-meet-ing. Although over a mile high he could distinctly hear the voice of the pastor endeavouring to cast out latter-day devils, and being willing to supply the swine necessary to the completion of the miracle, Mr S dropped the porker squarley in the midst of the worshippers. Their amazement at receiving this porcine thunder from a clear sky can be imagined. However, as the pig killed the deacon who was about taking up a collection, they agreed to let the matter pass. N. P. Willis, the American essayist, thus, in " Pencillings by the Way," described Earl Beaconsfleld at twenty-five years of age, on the occasion of meeting him at Lady B'.essington's: — "Disraeli had arrived before me, and sat in the deep window looking out upon Hyde Park, with the last rays of daylight reflected from the gorgeoas gold flowers of a splendidly embroidered waistcoat. Patent leather pumps, a white stick, with a black cord and tassel, and a quantity of chains about his neck and pockets, served to make him, even in the dim light, a conspicuous object. He has one of the most remarkable faces I ever saw. He is lividly pale, and but for the energy of his action and the strength of his lungs, would seem to be a victim to consumption. His eye is black as Erebus, and has the most mocking, lying-in-wait sort of expression conceivable. Hia mouth is alive with a kind of working and impatient nervousness, and when he has burst forth, as he does constantly, with a particularly successful cataract of expressions, it assumes a curl of triumphant scorn that would be worthy of a Mephistopheles. His hair is as extraordinary as his taste in waistcoats. A thick heavy mass of jet-black ringlet falls over his left cheek almost to his collarless stock, while on the right temple it is parted and put away with the smooth carelessness of a girl's, and shines most unctuously " With thy incomparable oil, Macassar !" Reliable information upon all the great and passing eveuts of the day is all times eagerly sought, and there is no more subject greater than the welfare of the body. If we would preserve ourselves from premature decay, we must mark the admonishing Symplons of disease, and by timely administration of good and reliable medicine, check and ward off any sickness that might interfere with the wonted course of perfect health.
