Bird's Francis's Pills HAtE bcett extensively made use of in this country for nearly 30 years, are most deservedly rec°m mended for their known efficacy in all bilious t,omplaints, diseases of the liver, indigestion, natulency, jaundice, sick headache, habitual costiveness, and all diseases o alimentary canal. In recent attacks of the gout it has nearly proved a specific, by alleviating the seve". Jhl the fit and shortening its duration; they are also ,y advantageous to those who are liable to occasional in- dulgence at table. Europeans visiting the East and west Indies and other warm climates will tind them an mva- luable medicine, and by their early use may escape those dreadful diseases which a disordered state of the liver but too frequently creates. CAUTION, in g repute in which the pills are held has induced so principled individuals to foist a spurious imitatwnoti e on the public; be careful to ask for Hird s Fraiic tibilious Pills, which are signed J.

Mr John Sloan, of Aughnacloy, informed Professor Hol- loway by letter that Mrs Walker, residing in the same town, had been afflicted with a complaint in the stomach for nearly 40 years, which defied the efforts of all the Faculty round the neighbourhood to cure.

Dr. Granville has used Dr. DE JONGH'S Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil extensively in his practice, and has found it riot only efficacious, but uniform in its qualities. He be- lieves it to be preferable in many respects to Oils sold with- out the guarantee of such an authority as DE JONGH. DR. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT IN A SHORTER TIME THAN OTHERS, AND 1HAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE THF NAU- SEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil being, moreover, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's Patients have them- selves expressed a preference tor Doctor De Jongh's Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil." BR. IETHEBV, Professor of Chemistry aud Toxicology in the Medical Col- lege of the London Hospital, Chemical Referee to the Cor- poration of London, Medical Officer of Health to the City of London, Sfc. Sfc. I have frequently hid occasion to analyze the Cod Liver Oil which is sold at your establishment. In all cases I have found it possessing the snme set of properties, among which the presence of cholaic compounds and of iodine in a state of organic combination are the most remarkable in fact, the Oil corresponds in all its characters with that named Haile described as the best variety in the masterly Treatise of Dr DE JONGH. It is, Ihelieve,lJniversally ac- nowledged that this description of Oil has great therapeu- al power; and, from my investigations, I have no doubt ts being a pure and unadulterated urticle." THF LJLRJCICT." Dr DE JONGH gives the preference to the Light Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elemenis of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil, no douht, partly depends. Some of the deficiencies of the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and especially to its filtration through charcoal. In the preference of the Light Brown over the Pale Oil we fully concur. We have carefully tested Specimen of Dr DE JONGH'S Light Brown Cod Liver Oil. We find it to Genuine, and rich in iodine and the elements of bile. Sold ONLY in IMPERIAL Half pints, 2s. 6rl.

Proposed Substitutions of other kinds of Cod Liver Oil should be strenuously resisted, as they proceed from interested motives, and will result in disappointment to the Purchaser. ———— Sold in HAVERFORDWEST, hv GWYNNE HARRIES, in TF.NRY, by W.

High School, Loughborough, 23rd 01 4th Month. 1855. Dear Sir,-Having received great benefit from your Roper's Plaster for nervous stomach complaint, I believe that Roper's Plaster is calculated, when thoroughly known, to supersede all other medicines for those disorders for which it is intended.

He has been afflicted with a dreadful cough for the last seven years, and for which he has been advised to try one of Roper's Plasters, which he has now had on three weeks, and which, I am happy to inform yon, has been attended with beneficial results, as the cough is not so violent and the phlegm, which at first was thick and tough, has been changed to ordinary spittle.

THE AIR WE BREATHE.
THE AIR WE BREATHE. At the last meeting of the Royal Society, a very interes- ting paper was read by Dr. Edward Smith, Assistant Phy- sician to the Hospital for Consumption, entitled, Inquiries into the Quantity of Air inspired at each five minutes, one, quarter, and half hour of the Day and Night, and under the influence of various kinds of Exercise, Food, and Medicines Temperature Sfc. The communication consists of three parts and comprises the result of 1,200 series of observations The first contains the results ot the three investigation. as to the quantity of air breathed during the whole ot the twenty-four hours, and registered every fifteen and thirty minutes. The second part describes the influence of pos- ture riding on horseback, travelling by omnibus and railway, rowing, swimming, walking, carrying 01 weights, the labour of the treadwheel, ascending and descending steps-also of sunlight and darkness, artificial heat, various diets, &c. The third part is devoted to certain inquiries in relation to the temperature of the body, There are not many re- cords of inquiries similar to those contained in the first part of this paper, and extremely few in reference to any por- tion of the second. The aim of previous observers had been to determine the chemical effects of respiration. The author was himself the subject of aJllthe investigations He was thirty-eight years of age, six feet in height, healthy and strong, and with a vital capacity of the lungs of 280 cubic inches. The instrument employed was Glover's dry gas meter of improved maufacture, and arranged to register from one to one million cubic inches. The action w-s r,versediso as to measure inspiration. The mouth piece employed was Sibsnn's, & it was connected with the spiro- meter by vulcanized caoutchouc tubing, and could he fasten. ed upon the heads by elastic straps, The ^determination of the quantity of air inspired in the twenty four hours was effected by three inquiries-1st, by using the spirometer in the quiet sitting posture, duting five minutes at the commencement of each quarter of an hour, from 5 a.m. to 6! p.m. "f each linlf hour from p,m. to 8.m. Exercise was taken in the intervals, and food was eaten at 85 a.m. 1, 0^, and 8J p.m. 2ndlj' by using the spirometer without intermisssion during the whole of the twenty-four hours excepting at intervals amounting collectively to forty mi- nutes. 3rdly, by an inquiry similar to the second, but con- tinued through the night only. In all these inquiries, the rate of respiration and pulsation, with the temperature of the wet and dry bulbs, and the barometric pressure were recorded. Among the most important and interesting results are the following. The inquiry made during the five minutes at the begining of every quarter of an hour from 5 a.m. to 61 p.m. and at the beginning of every lnlf-hourfrom 61 p.m. to 3ii.m gave the following average quantities in the sitting posture -after supper, 354cubic inches per minute; before break- fast, 358; after breakfast. 4-45; after dinner, 448; and after tea, 454. Mental excitement on several occasions did not influence the quantity of air inspired when the registration took place only once in five minutes. Sleep oc- curred with tho lowest quantity of air inspired-vlz., with 334 cubic inches per minute, but increased during sleep to 371 per minute. Posture increased the quantity of air inspired—in the sitting over the lying- postnre. The increase in the standing ovei the lying varied from 20 to 96 per min- ute. Hiding in or upon an omnibus increated the quantity about 250 cubic inches per minute 'H'r that impiled when sitting at rest. Riding on horseback increased it- at the walking pace, 450 cubic inches, cantering 900 and trotting 1300 cubic inches per minnte. Railway travelling on the engine increased it 200 cubic inches—in the third class carriages nearly 200, in the second class 150, and in first classs 100. The quantity was the greatest at the speed of from thirty to forty miles per hour. Gentle walking in- creased the respiration from 169 to 692 cubic inches per minute; when moderate it increased about 500, and when fast the increase was from 1206 to 1611. Gentle running increased it 1900, and fast running 2325 to 2500 cubic inches per minute. Carrying weights from 20 lbs to 118 lbs. at the speed of three miles perhour increased the quantity of air inspired about 1900 cubic inches perminute. Heat and sunlight increase the rate of respiration from 16.8 to 17.8 per minute. Darkness lessened the quantity of air inspired to the extent of 32 cubic inches per minute. Considerable increase of artificial heat caused increased respiration, and considerable decrease the contrary, and these changes in- creased by continuance. The author next gives the effects of a great variety of food and drinking on respiration. The most remarkable changes wore produced by the most remarkable changes were pro- duced by the following articles. Milk increased the respi- ration 33 to 43 per minute; potatoes only 0 to 6; coffee, 19 to 25; tea. 28 to 96; sugar, 60 to 88; rum 34 to 42, whilst on the other hand, cod liver oil decreased the quantity of air inspired 10 to 65 cubic inches per minute, and olive oil 94 per minute. The temperature of the breath varied from that of the inspired air, but not proportionately. Itfras on the average, 94' 7 in the room, and 89' 1 in the open air. In the last part of the paper Dr. Smith proceeded to notice the most remarkable deductions which may be drawn from his investigations. The detailed and averaged quantities of air breathed by him at various periods of the day, and under certain defined conditions, permit an approximate es- timate to be m.ideofthe quantities breathed by various clas- ses of the community, and of the quantities of chemicalele- ment require to combine with the oxygen. Thus unoccupied gentlemen probably spend nine hours in the lying position -eleven in the sitting position, one inwalkingat the rate of two miles per hour, and three hours in standing, or walk- ing at the rate of one mile per hour. The quantity of air thus inspired by them daily may be estimated as fol- laws- 9 hours in lying posture 243,000 cubic inches 11 „ sitting 351,780 1 walking. 66.0110 3 „ standing. 144,000 I giving a total af 804,780 cubic inches of air breathed daily. An ordinary tradesman may be estimated to pass eight hours and a half in a lying posture. six in the sitting postnre three in walking four in standing. He will then breathe a total quantity of 958,850 cubic inches. The hard working labourer will probably breathe 1,368,800 cubic inches of air daily. The three classes thus differ greatly in the quantity of oxygen which they inspire, aud therefore in a quantity of food required by tliem and it each obtained a suitable quality of material to unite with the oxygen, the labour would still have greater wear 01 system than that of the unoccupied man, The estimation of the wear of system from various kinds of labour may be made from this inquiry, if the quantity of air inspired may be regarded as a tolerably fair indica- tion of that result-such for example as the hard labours of felons, the marching 01 Soidiers, and the ordinary mode of travelling by the community. Wre may coasequentiy in- fer the amount of food and rest which each condition re- quires. It is also possible to increase or lesten the needful quantity of food (within limits) with some degree of cer- tainty and we learn how much more costly the mainten- ance of snldiers must necessarily he in time of wae than peace, and that of felons in forced labour than in idleness; we further learn how to lessen the wear of system arising from soch exertion as the carryings of burdens, by reducing the speed at which they were borne. These inquiries also enable us to account for the inabili ty of many persons to make an ascent, except at the slowest pace, and for the great inequality in all persons between the effect of ascending steps aud walking on level ground at the same speed. From his investigations and experience in Switzerland, the author believes that his views account for spitting ofblond, which have occurred whilst ascending mountains, without reference to the degree of atmospheric pressure. This is in part, independent of chemical changes, and is due mainly to the capacity of the lungs and trachea to receive a certain quantity of air in a given time, and of the heart & blood vessels to carry on the current of blood, and especially to maintain a due relation between the pulmonic and systemic circuits. They also explain the conservative influence of dark rooms in eastern and southern climes, and of night in all climates. In like manner they indicate the reason of unhealthiness of buildings with defi- cient light-as prison cells and dwellings of the poor-also of nervous persons living much in seclusion. It is proba- ble that change of season varies the quantity of air inspired Heated rooms lead to exhaustion indirectly, by in- creasing the activity of evary function. Cold, when AP- plied to the skin, increases respiration, whilst the breathing of cold air lessens the quantity of air inspired. Sleep and quitude are naturally associated with darkness and dimi- nished activity of functions and therefore wakefulness and labour at those periods of the day must induce more wear 01 system. Hence the ill pffecls ofnight labour. At the same period the with which some persons pursue mental labour at night may be owing to the lessened vital actions at that period. Breakfast seems to be the most important meal to the system, since it is taken after a long interval, and pro- duces a greater effect upon the frame than any other meal. The effects offood does not pass away between the meals, or during the working day. Since a due ret'tion between the respiratory function and the food supplied to the system is one of the most important problems of life, these inqui- ries are of great value, as they serve to prove how wisely our natural appetites lead us to a due combination 01 food, while at the same time they explain the ill consequences 01 what is termed "high living. Dr. Smith's interest paper was accompanied by an extensive series ot tables and cur- ves illustrating his investigations.

GENERAL NEWS. CHARGE OF INTIMIDATION AT THE RUTHIN ELECTION, -The Times, in its observations opon the present case, imagines a variety of detences analogous to Mr Barnwell's, and all equally certain of succeeding in a court of justice. The drift of our contemporary is to show that the public must submit to a vast amount of undue influence, as a ne- cessary evil. But the failure of the law by no means proves the necessary existence of the evils it grapples with in vain. Nothing is thereby proved but that we have not to acquiesce in abuses that virtually disfranchise myriads of electors. There is but one law to put down the exercise of undue influence at elections, and that is a law to protect the voter as secret voting only can protect him. The ballot would do with effect what the Corrupt Practices Act has already failed to do, and what no act of the kind that the wit of man can devise will ever accomplish. The object of that statnte,' observed Mr Justice Erie, w.. to secure the voter in the calm exercise of his judgment, to elimi- nate the operation of selfish motives on his decision, and to protect his private interests while he is discharging his pub- lic duty.' Had the judge been describing the efficacy of the ballot he could not have expressed himself with more felicitous precision. To secure the voter in the calm exer- cise of his judgment, to eliminate the operation of selfish motives, to protect interests while he discharges his public duties,-this is as much the obvious virtue of secret voting as it is the virtue of the locks and bolts on our doors to keep out the thief and the burglar. Thieves would be a necessary evil if it were held to be disgraceful and un- Enalish to invoke protection of the locksmith.-Examiner. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—A few days since, as an old brick oven aV the back of a house in Philip Street, Bath was being pulled down, the workmen found a cat with a rat in its mouth, both reduced to skeletons, though covered with the remains of their skins. It was apparent that the cat had pursued its prey through a hole, and caught it between the top of the oven and a lafter above. From this position it was unable to return, and there it remained and died of starvation. It is remarkable as showing the tenacity of the cat that it had never dropped its prey, although it was evident that the rat had twisted its bead roundand gnawed the shoulder of its captor. THE SWEARER'S PRAYER SUDDENLY ANSWERED.— The Taunton Courier has the following ,On Tuesday as two men were unloading cinders near the Taunton Railway Station, and indulging themselves in the utterance of fear- ful oaths and curses, a female, who could no longer endure it, implored them to desist, and accosting one of them who was imprecating the most appaling curses upon himself, inti- mated that he would be cursed soon enough without his wishing it. At this moment one ot the horses employed stepped upon the line, when, upon his attempting to turn the horses off, a train, unperceived by him, rushed up, knocked him down, and the wheels, running over him, in- stantly killed him, launching him into the presence of his Maker ere his appalling oaths and curses had well expired on his lips.' A SCENE OF RETRIBUTlON-A picture representing the sale of a quantity of old-furniture seized for rent was exhi- bited some years back in the window of a dealer in the Place de la Madeleine, and attracted considerable attention. In the foreground was placed a poor woman holding in her arms a child, and watching with a sorrowful eye the pro- gress of the sale. The sweet face of the child stood out in strong contrast to the distressed countenance of the mother. Further back were the personages connected with the sale, represented with great vigour. The following is stated by a Lyons journal to be the history of the scene depicted:- A few years since, the painter of the picture in question, an eminent artist at Lyons, while passing through the Rue des Terreax, approachd a number of persons who were gathered together, witnessing the sale of the furniture ot a poor workman. A woman was seated on the pavement with a child in her arms. The painter spoke to her, and was told that the furniture which was being sold belonged to her; that her husband lately died, leaving her with the child in ner arms that she had struggled hard to maintain herself by working day and night and submitting to every privation, but that her landlord had at length seized her furniture for some months' rent which was due to him. The Artist was much affected by this simple recital, and in- quired who was her landlord ? There he is,' replied the poor woman, pointing to a man who was watching the pro- gress of the sale and he was recognised by the painter as a person who was suspected of having amassed a consider- able fortune by usury, so that to make any appeal to his feelings on behalf of the poor widow would be useless.- The artist was considering within himself what other plan he could adopt to benefit her when the crier announced a picture for sale. It was a miserable daub, which in the summer the poor woman bad used to hide the hole in the wall through which the pipe ot the stove passed during the winter. It was put up at one franc. The artist at once conceived a plan for taking revenge of the landlord. He went over, examining the picture with great attention, and then called out with a loud voice, One hundred francs!' The landlord was astounded at the bid, but, conceiving that a picture for which so eminent an artist could offer that sum was worth more than double, boldly offered 200f. I Five hundred said the painter, and the contest between the two bidders became so animated that the prize was knocked down to the landlord at 2200f. The purchaser, then ad- dressing the painter, said,' In seeing an artist of your emi- nenee bid so eagerly for the picture I supposed that it must be valuable. Now, tell me, sir, at what do you estimate its vatue ?' About thiee francs and a half,' replied the painter, but I would not give that for it.' You are surely jesting,' said the landlord, 'for you bid as high as 21001. for it.* That is true,' replied the artist, and I will tell you why ( did so. You, who are in in possession of as income of 25,0001. a year, have seized on the furniture ot a poor wo- man for a debt of 200f., I wished to give you a lesson, and you fell into my trap. Instead of the poor woman being your debtor, she is now your creditor, and I flatter myself you will not compel her to seize on your furniture for her debt.' The Artist then politely saluted the astonished fandlord, and having announced the poor woman, her good ortune to walked away. THE DEATHS for the first quarter of this year were 101,527, or at the rate of 23 in 1,000, the average rate of the season being 25. Owing to the improvements in sewerage, in the supply of water, in the construction of dwellings, as well as to the restriction on the numbers inhabiting them, the mortality in the great towns has been much reduced and we had lately to observe that London was proved by statistics to be the most healthy capital in Europe. Yet much remains to be done, as the following figures will show. The annual mortality in the country, in small towns and villages, was 20 in the 1,000 in the large towns it was 26, or not far from one-third more. As nearly half the popu- lation of Great Britain is concentrated in what may be called large towns, it is evidently a matter ot the first im- portance to remove those evils which weaken the strength of a town population and hasten them to a premature grave. This is, indeed, the great moral to be learnt from all our statistical returns. England is every day becoming more and more a huge aggregation of urban communities. The wonderful physical constitution of the race enables it to struggle against deleterious influences, but it is unwise to trust the policy at non-interference too far. The nation, as a whole, is bound to provide for the healthy growth of fts children, and if due pains be taken to construct and cleanse our ever-increasing cities we may hope for a long duration of such progress as is made known in the present document.— Times. LABOURERS' WAGES.—The Lincolnshire Chronicle is sorry to learn that several farmers in the Lincoln dis- trict are reducing the wages of their labourers from 15s. to 13s. 6d. per week. This reduction is quite uncalled for. Wheat is making a fair remunerating price, and beef, mutton, wool, barley, and all other articles of farm pro- duce, are bringing enormous prices. THE DIET OF CONSUMPTIVE PATIICNTS-DR Richardson in an able article in ttie I Journal of Public Health,' ob- serves that 'the diet of consumptive patients should be ample. Animal food is an absolute necessity fatty & oily foods should predominate. Cod Liver Oil, though used as a Medicine, is essentially a Food, and in small doses, often repeated, its value is, to my mind, unmistakeable.' The entire article is well worth perusal, but there is one omission. Dr. Richardson does not tduly caution his readers against the use of spurious kinds of Cod Liver Oil, which sickens the stomach without doing any good. The most eminent medical men at home and abroad are of opinion that Dr. de Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil is not only the best and purest, but the only kind which can uniformly be relied npon, and which does not, like the Pale Oil, produce nau- sea, indigestion and bilious derangement. Dr. Radclyffe Hall, the eminent Physician to the Torquay Hospital for Consumption, observes, I have found Dr.de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil to agree better with the digestive organs, especi- ally in those patients who consider themselves to be bilious. It is more palatable than the other kinds of Cod Liver Oil it is stronger, and consequently a smaller dose is sufficient,* Dr. Edgar Sheppard remarks, It has the rare excellence of being well borne and assimilated by stomachs which reject the ordinary Oils.' As much misunderstanding and ill Feeling- frequently arises about church sittings, or pews, we have been reques- ted to insert the following from the 'Vestry Alma- nack':— 1. All pews in a parish church are the common property of the parish, except such as are held by prescription, or by faculty. 2. By immemorial use, and by reparation (when repairs were needed), a prescription right to a pew can be estab- lished as appurtenant to a particular house within the parish and if a house, to which a pew is appurtenant, be lelt, the occupier is entitled to the use of the pew. 3. A grant of a seat or pew to a man and his heirs, or a claim to a seat or pew as appurtenant to land, is bad in law. 4. The distribution of pews and seats, which are not held hy faculty or prescription, rests with the ordinary the churchwardens are the officers, and they are to allot them to the parishioners, taking care to afford suitable accommodation to as many as possible.
