AN ARTICLE FOR THE SEASON.

INTERESTING TO EVERYBODY.

This is the season of poetry. Sentiment thaws out with the snow, and expands with the early ﬂowers The press grows eloquent on the tender grass. the unlolding buds. and other vernal vegetables. But, with all this elevation of the spirit, there are many afﬂictions of the llesh. Appetite. over-stimulated by the stringent cold of winter, subjects the weak stomach to dispepcia. and the liver to an overﬂow of bile. The blood is over-rich, and among the consequences are boils, eruptions. and other external disorders. in halth is a sad drawback to our enj iyinent of the glories ol nature, and therefore it is as Well, in advance of the leriid heats of summer, to purity the ﬂuids of the body, give tone and energy to the digestive powers. and remove troiu the superﬁcial vessels whose acrid humors which sometimes

Under these circumstances. we cannot better serve dysp- epio or plethoric reader, or. in fact, any reader who is out of health or has had a premonitory warning of cotningsielb ness, than by advisig him (or her) to have recourse to [lol— loway’s famous remedies. Whatever may be the source of the dili'iculty, in whatever portion oi the system the seed oi disease may be entranced. lloLLoWAY's plLLS will assuredly reach the locality, and extinguish the disorder in its element- ary stage. They are peremptory messengers that will net be denied access to the most intricat windings ofthe internal organisation, and which no principle to health in any part of the human machine can successfully resist. This may seem a sweeping assertion. but there is a mass of authentic testamony to fall back upon, which will lully sustain it It is familiaraphorism that “whateverybody mustbe true," and it is beyond controversy that the majority of christen- dom use and praise [Iolloway's remedies.

The earliest printed statutes relating to embank- ments are of the earlier part ofthe thirteenth cen— tury, in the reign of Henry III ; but they refer to a previous period They tend to show that in the reign of Henry 11.; or between H54 and “89, em- bankment had become an object of public importance.
