SECOND EDITION.

THE SEA SEBPENT.

With deep regret we have to inform our readers that before going to press with these pages, we learned that the Doctor had ciuefiy hoaxed one of the most trust worthy members of our staff with the marvellous story of the capture of a sea serpent in our harbour. It is needless to add that his instant dismissal, without salary, has been forwarded to his last known address. We can only tender our .sincere apologies to the respected citizens whose names he has so unwarrantably used with the view of giving colour to his specious narrative.

Long experience has proved these famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter com plaints which arc more particularly incidental to the life of a miner, or those living in the bus)). Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, viz.:—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent forerunners of fey r, dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera.

The strongest recommendation for this medicine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures eit'ected on well known and much-respcctcd members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large number or" testimonials received by the maker, thankfully acknowledging the complete restora tion of "health experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated disease, and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a rcliableremedy for Rheumatism, &c, ha 3 long br-cn felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. "While other means and medicine have been proving themselves vain and delusive, this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from their deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the " Blood Restorer" a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it distinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c, are due entirely to this medicine's wonderful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, purifjing, and invigorating power. Impurity ami inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. A ter a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with, unhealthy matter—become exhiliarant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the entire system. N.B.—Cov.ntry Settlers will find in Kitchen's Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. /Tit AT E F U L. — COMFORTING. EP P S'S cTo CO A. Breakfast.
