The gan Is In ordinary ciroanufc*nces hidden., entirely from view la a pit, and is raised into the firing position by the action of compressed air, working In a cylinder thus remaining exposed to the euemj's fire for only a few aeoonda.

An arrangement of mirrors enables it to be Bccurat&ly sighted m the pit before It ia raised to the firing position. The gun weighs, about 50 toi s and ha* a calibre of IQin. The proof cliargeß of 2501 b black prismatic powder were fired, and afterwards several rounde with • charge of 2301 b brown prismatic powder for pnrpcseß of testiog ranue nnd accuraoy.

How suc- cessful we have bean m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the rales of our Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleaouri to atrte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver PilU. The reason of this de- mand is because we find In Haydock' New Lives Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary oomblcatlon of oonoentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegvaphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, nuC made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are oountleßß Pills need for diseases and olaiming much as to their merit, thb remarkable dlß- covory of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and Las founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootqio, whose vast doses of four oi five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one oi two of his extraordinary Vegetable PilU. One or two of Di Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomaoh In perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver Is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System ia enfeebled, It Is by rlgonted and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provlaee of Burmah, 8.1.
