Ramrod's Tincture of Gridiron, otherwise called, JSalurc's Grand llesto alive. Doctor Simeon Ramrod, by n semticous and chemical anaiizatnn of veg table substances has recently discovered thai gridirons con ::ins a subtle. invigorating fluid, sympathetically allied to the Ni nervous or magnetic fluid of the 'V liuman body, which beins fskilliul Nly extracted & prepared, becomes a specific, and infallible rcmedy for almost every complaint, ol

The two armies attacked each other and fought a long time with, out breaking their lines. At length disorder appeared in various points and the combat was maintained in detached groups, and

after a bloody battle which continued from three to four hours, the formica rufa were put to flight & forced to abandon their two hi! locks and go otVto establish themselves at some other point with the remains ol their army. The most interesting part of this exhibition, savs M I ! anhart, was to see these insects reciprocal! v making prisoners, and transporting their own wounded to the hi Ilocks. Their devotedness to the wounded was carried so far, that the formica rufa in conveying them to their nests, allowed them selves to be killed by the little blacks without any resistance rather than abandon their precious cha rge. From the observations of M Huber, it is known that when an
