description of Masonic clothing , jewels , & c . In addition to being a beautiful specimen of the printer's art , it is accurate in every detail of colour and finish . No lodge should be without one—in fact , vve may say it would be useful to every member of the Crait . —Morning Advertiser .

HOLLOWAV ' S OI . VTMEXT Axil Pius . —Few persons are so favoured by circumstances , or so lortilied by nature , as to enable them to pass unscathed the sore trials of an inclement season . With catarrhs , coughs , and influenza evcrywhe eabounding , it should be universally known that Holloway's Ointment , diligently rubbed upon Ihe chest , checks thc worst assaults of these ma adits , and securelwards oil

y " more grave and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs . The truth of this assertion must remain unquestioned in the face of thousands of unimpeachable living witnesses , who have personally derived the utmost possible benefits from this treatment when their present sufferings vvere appalling , and their future prospects most disheartening . Both remedies act admirably together , —[ ADVT , ] '

y " more grave and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs . The truth of this assertion must remain unquestioned in the face of thousands of unimpeachable living witnesses , who have personally derived the utmost possible benefits from this treatment when their present sufferings vvere appalling , and their future prospects most disheartening . Both remedies act admirably together , —[ ADVT , ] '
