"For Headache 1 don’t believe there ever was so good a pill as Ayer’s. I have been a victim of terrible headaches, and never found anything to relieve me so quickly as AYER'S PILLS” C. L. NEWMAN. Dug Spur, Va.

HISTORICAL. In the light of history Napoleon 111. becomes a curious phenomenon. But his morose Idealism proved to France greatest misfortune that ever visited It Until 1859 that country was Surrounded by nothing but Inconsequential neighbors. At the downfall 9f Napoleon it touched elbows with two powers of magnitude. To the last of his reign Napoleon nourished the illusion that at Magenta and Solferino he had procured for France a mighty and a faithful friend. The phrase, “Driving a coach and six through an act of Parliament,” occurs in the “Memoirs of Ireland,” published anonymously in 1716, but commonly attributed to Oldmixon. In speaking ot Stephen Rice, who was made Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer by James 11. in 1686, and was removed by William 111. in 1690, Oldmixon says: “He distinguished himself by his inveteracy against the Protestant interest and the settlement of Ireland, having been often heard to say before he was judge, ‘that he would drive a coach and six horses through the Act of Settlement.’ ” This date (circa 1685) is at least a century earlier than the date popularly assigned to the origin of the phrase. Coltsfoot, or the leaves of the lettuce, being slightly narcotic, would form a harmless make believe for the good folk Who persuade themselves that 'hey could not sleep a wink were they deprived of their evening comfort. Ages ago both Greeks and Romans, according to Dioscorides and Pliny, found comfort in smoking through a reed or pipe the dried leaves of coltsfoot, which relieved them of old coughs and difficult breathing. We can picture the legionary in Britain’s bleak atmosphere, while pacing the Roman wall, trying to console himself in his lonely vigil with the vapor from his “elphin pipe,” fragments of which have been found among the ruins of those early memorials to the Scots’ persistent determination to travel southward. And as to the lettuce, It has been famous since the time of Galen (Claudius Golenus), who asserts that he found *relief from sleeplessness by taking it at night jhoast beef, or fowl, will be muck nicer rs they are kept covered while roasting; it keens them moist; uncovo* just time enough to let them browa
