—Probably no one has reached a higher altitude by balloon ascension than Prof. Jameß Glaisher, who, with a professional aeronaunt, made an ascension in England to a height of 37,000 feet, or seven miles. He became insensible at the height of six miles, and hia companion, who was so nearly frozen as to have lost the uaa of his limbs, was obliged to pull the rope of the oafety valve with his teeth to decend. To throw LiTO Coals into a powder-barrel would be almost as wise as to pour alcohol into a diseased stomach. Dr Walker's Vineoar Bitteks, the celebrated Temjierance Kestorative, that tones witho.it exciting and regulates without pain, is the true remedy for biliousness, colic, indigestion, norvousness, Eiok headache, flatulency, liver complaint, rheumatism, and all ailments arising from corruption or iEipoverißhment of the blood.
