fdOTTiSH readers of the Dundee People's Journal all over the world wili learn with regret "TAMMAS BODKIN " of the death of the writer, who, under the pen name of " Tamuaas Bodkin," I contributed to its columns each week a " crack," written m the Scots dialect, and invariably characterised by kindly counsel and a fund of pawky humor, Tammas was W. i). Latto, editor of the Journal, a position he held for nearly forty years. Born m Fife shire, that remarkable county, which pro duces the very quintessence of Scottish character, Mr Lttto had the typical Scotsman's career. His parents were humble folk of the grand old sort that have made their country loved at home and revered abroad, and he started m life with the great advantage of a strong constitution, and a sound moral and religious training, After working at the loom for a time, he resolved to be a dominie, and he made his way to the Edinburgh Normal Schoo',where he had great success. The People's Jour nal was started m 1858, and not lor g after it began Mr Latto, then a school mawter m Stonehaven, began to oontri bute to its columns under the name of •' Jcck O.odpole." " Tammas Bodkin " made his first appearance m ,1861. There is no need to com 'ment on the excellence of Tammas' Scots dialect. He wrote more of It, and he wrote it better than all his imitators put together, and he was a competent authority on the meaning and use of many old words now gone into disuse. " Tammas Bodkin " knew well that to write Scots it was not enough merely to misspell English There is a Scots idiom and a Scots manner of thought, as well as a dialect, and of these Bodkin was master. Ttiis, added to his admirable use of the dialect, explaiuß to some extent his power of delighting Scots readers the world over; But much, of course, was due to the character andipersonality of | the man. The Journal states that though he was released from active work at the end of last year, he atill found his way every day, through a cold and stormy spring, to the office where he had wrought co long. There was little for him to do, but he could not keep away from the old place, \\>



j was on a blus'ering Wednesday m ' Mnrch that he put "n his warm over coat, wound his muffler round his neck, took np his substantial umbrella and went out of the old doorway with hit customary (says the editor^ " Aweel, ' I'll awa' hame." But little did we 1 think that for the last time he had gone " awa' hame." He was leieed with a serious illness, and died at Bridgend of Stralocb, near Kirk* michael, on July 16, at the age of 76.

SANDEK «Sc Sons ISuea lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hib ! Majesty the King of Italy, as per cotnmunica | tioa made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract fin the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as pet information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1873, we fcate :— It is proved by tests by tha Medical Clinio of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and roported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr! Mossier, Director pf the Medical Clinics al Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.jd freed of aoids, resmouß and other Bubutancea, adherent to primary distillation, will deyelope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oila, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible t— I By their deficiency iv pungent odour-— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobila appear ance being reduced m specific density through tue presenoe of acid?. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. . xf these crude oila, so called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- i sequences are most appalling.

PDBLIC NOTICES. ~"~ja~A. YDOOtt'B ~" NEW LIVES PILI.S. (Sugar Ooatetl.) A WONDERFUL and extraordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The victories of Science—Elecfcric Telegraphs, Bt6am and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globo, and made man* kind wises: and better. So, although there are countless Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydook has eclipsed them all, and han founded a NEW MEDIOAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr. Haydook s nbw Livma Pitts suffices to place the stomach m perfect order, creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its functions are restored, and the Nervous System is enfeebled, ib is invigorated and sustained. SYMPTOMS OF BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complains of a fullness of the stomich. 2 Distension of the bowels by wind, 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals # 5 A bad taste m the mouth and furred tongue 6 Constipation, with an ocoasional diarrh«e% 7 Headache m front) of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassibnde All of the above symptoms go to show funotional derangement of the Liver; and now comes the great importance of any error made as to the condition of the patient. He should immediately provide himßelf with a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which is a Pill. Daily experience shows that) this, when the Pill is compounded properlya is the readiest mode of inciting and promote i ing the action of the Liver, and oan always j be relied on. I havj devoted many years or my lifo m compounding a Pill, that will ac readily and systematically at a Bilious R"triedy. I do not believe m great purga tives, and therefore have made a Pill, one of which is an aotive and thorough dose. I have called it Haydock's Nkw Liyjbr Pill. They are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest) blessing that Science has given to tha world, For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache,- Dr. Haydock's New Liver Pills wili be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains twenty Pills; Price Twenty-Sve Cents. For sale by all Druggists Any sceptic o*n have a vial of Pills sent him free on receipt of his name asd address, for a trial.
