For myself , I can only say that I shall always do the best I can , and by doing so , to carry with me the good opinion of the brethren ; ancl I hope we shall find that the trouble we shall have taken with this degree will not have been in vain , and that we shall have satisfied the members who have joined us that we

have done everything in our power to further Mark Masonry . I was going to say that with the Craft in the past , Mark Masonry has as it were been nowhere . We hope , however , now to compete with the Craft , and do as much good as the latter has done , considering the many ways in which Mark

Masonry has been so clearly allied with it . R . W . Bro . Gibbs hereupon retiring , the P . G . M . explained that the R .

may say that it has on the whole been prosperous in Bombay , and I trust it will be still more so now .

justlyentitled to . As far as my humble abilities will admit I shall devote them heartily to the interests of Mark Masonry . The R . W . Prov . Grand Master then submitted the By-Laws of the new Prov . Grand Lodge for

REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the "Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c ., & c ., on Mayar ' s Semolina : " I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , thesamplcs of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , aud eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of

nitrogenous mailer , chiefly gluten , and are far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Corn Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR HILL HASSALL , M .

HOLI . OWAY S PILLS . —This incomparable medicine is now acknowledged lo be the most wonderful remedy in tbe world . Il nets directly on the whole system , renovating the springs of life , purifying thc blood , eradicating liver complaints , indigestion , loss of appetite , pain in tlie side , and general debility . It is also a remedy on whicli lhe asthmatic may place thc greatest dependence

and obtain perfect restoration to health . Thehypoehondriae . dyspeptic and nervous sufferers should resort to these invigorating pills , which are capable of converting their despondency and gloom into sunshine , and bringing back those naturally happy thoughts engendered by a gootl digestion . One trial is all that is necessary to prove their neverfailing cliicacy . - I Advt . J

CROSUVS BALSAMIC COUGH LLIXF . R . —Opiates Nan-olios , and Senilis are too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling thc digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies al the root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s llalsamic Cough F . liser . as thc true remedy . —Sct . rt 'l \ stiriro , ti , tl . Dr . Rooke ,

Scarborough , author of thc " Anti-Lancet , " says : "I have repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough , Pain , and irritation of lhe chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , : utd 1 can , with tbe greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . ' -This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only illays the local irrilalion , but imp roves digestion aud strengthens the

constitution Hence it is u-ed with tbe most signal snecess iu Asthmas , lirouehitis .

THE DANGERS OF GINGER BEER DRINKING . — Even were it honestly made , our ginger beer is not a wholesome thing , because in drinking it we consume a half-fermented liipiur , in which lhe acetous fermentation has generally , freely developed itself . What man who has ever felt the pangs of dyspesia could wish a fellow

creature a worse fate than lo be cendemned to thc consumption of a few bottles of Xo . 3 of the specimens we have analysed , and which contain : —1 . Enough acelic acid to make a table-spoonful of common vinegar . 2 . four grains of cream ol tartar . 3 . A trace of copper ; and the whole imprisoned in a bottle smelling of paraffin ?—Food Journal .
