The Chilians’ claim to have damaged the ‘Union,’ and driven off the two Peru- vians, but evidently the ‘* Magallanes ” suffered considerably.
An engagement occurred between the Chilian ironclad ‘‘ Planco En Callada” and gunboat ‘* Chacabneo” and the Peruvian, foris at Pisgua. The gunboat lost one killed and six wounded, but the town is reported as almost demolished by the ships’ fire. The inhabitants however skedaddled by the zigzag railway up the mountain be- hind the town and saw the affair from a safe distance.

Liver is King.
The liver is the ‘imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
| gestion of food, the movements of the heart ;and blood, the ‘action of the brain and ner-
ailments are the naturai result. The adi-
vous sy stem, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green's August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptems that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and stomach.
