Some Big Things.

Some very interesting particulars regarding the biggest things on earth have lately been collected. For instance, the largest suspension bridge is one between New York City and Brooklyn, which is 5,980 t iu : length. The loftiest volcano now aciiTa is Popocatapetl, Mexico, being 17,784 ft above sea level, with a crater I,oooft deep and three miles in circumference. The longfet stretch of telegraph wire is over the River H istnah (India) ; it is 6.000 ft long, ana 1,200 ft high. The largest ship ever built was the Great Eastern, which measured 680 ft long, 83ft broad, and 60ft deep, aid was 28,627 tons harden. The largess body of fresh wat'r is Lake Superior, which has an area of 32,000 square miles. The largest library is the Bibliotbeque Nationals (Pt's), which contains 1,400,000 volumes, 3CO 000 pamphlets, 175,000 manuscripts, 300 000 maps and charts, and 150,000 coin* i.v.i medals. There's a collection for yon, ye collectors ! The greatest therapeutical at; nt is Clements' Tonic, which contains «-v«ry constituent, in chemical combination. (<f which the human body is formed. 1c re pairs the waste and loss occasioned by consumption of every description. Being a food, and not a physic, its action is quite distinct from other sooalled tonics, i'.is not an incompatible mixture of ferric (-a::s and astringent vegetable bitters ; it doe* not destroy, but preserves the teeth, and f-.-ima (by its properties as a chemical food) I;ou% mußcle, and nerve tissue. In casta of anemia, or poorness of blood, beneficial results follow the first dose, as independent of its effects as a blood restorative k increases and insures proper digestion and assimilation. In long standing caie.i of liver complaint with kidney sympathy,, Clements' Tonio has been used v\iM-, greater success than any other kcown. medicine. Researches into its ftctioi; have discovered that its tffi.jacy 13 ou& to its stimulating and nerve invg 'rating properties, and to the fact that there is not advanced organic diseiee, quite beyond the power of medicine, a faithful u*a of this remedy has always restortd its normal condition. In nerve complaints, nervous headache*, fitful toothache, and i-uch similar troubles, Cements' Tonic must r.r«ve a specific, as it is the only effectual aniil <lv to these complaints. We must, howler, warn our readers that it is abeolutciy essential that the genuine article be obtahiid, as owing to the expanse entailed in in ni.<uafaoture, some dealers are too Hpt to trv .md sell an inferior substitute for the mke o< & few pence extra profit. We are soiry to have to chronicle this fact but mu-t <.i it in the interests of the pubic, who rire 'he principal sufferers ' y such frauds.—[Ai>vt,]
