[OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.Dangerous Chest Complaints.-The enumeration of these diseases is scarcely necessary, as, unfortunately, most Englishmen know them to their cost. Coughs, common colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, inflammation of the lungs, and even consumption in its early stages, are best treated by rubbing Holloway's Ointment upon the chest, and upon the back between the shoulders. It penetrates internally, checks the cold shiverings, relieves the over-gorged lungs, gradually removes the oppression from the chest, and restores the obstructed respiration, hitherto so distressingly disagreeable and highly dangerous. In treating this class of diseases, Holloway's Pills should always be taken while using his Ointment; they purify the blood, promote perspiration, and allay dangerous irritations.

All dentists will allow that neither washes nor pastes can possibly be as efficacious for polishing the teeth and keeping them sound and white as a pure and non-gritty tooth powder; such Rowlands' Odonto has always proved itself to be.

If bilious attacks be allowed to continue without using such a preventive more serious casualties may arise, and the sufferer be consigned to a bed of sickness. Holloway's Pills are an extraordinary remedy, acting immediately in the removal of acidity of the stomach, indigestion, debility, and nausea, preparing the food thoroughly for assimilation, rendering each tributary organ perfect in its function and stimulating the kidneys.

Notes.

LITURGIA ANGLICANA.

I have not taken into account the prayers in the Occasional Offices, as they are called, though they offer as great a divergence from their Latin originals in the old English Manual as do the Daily Collects from those of the Portiforium and Missal. This, in a book so issued, ought not to W. J. B. be.

RECORDS OF THE BAPTISTS OF CORK.

(Concluded from p. 43.)

"Chapter IV.-Concerning the Methodists. "About 1746 one Williams came here from Dublin; at his first landing in this kingdom he did not bear any commission from John Wesley, yet from his success in Dublin this gentleman was so far induced to become his patron, that he directed Mr. Swindel to accompany him, and 'tis certain that in this city he was accounted a Methodist preacher; his delivery was very popular. Their novelty of preaching in the fields and seeming zeal gained them a multitude of hearers; this gave umbrage to the magistrates; besides there was some reason to think that the working people were interrupted from their labour, and while they ran after such preachers, their families at home were left destitute. But the more they were persecuted the more they increased. A few instances of their behaviour to the Baptists shall suffice:

Mrs. Mary Francis, who continued her communion with us to the last, died Oct. 18, 1749. The Methodists had possession of the body, and would reply to no messages, tho' brother John Austin wrote, and six mem"Threip-bers proposed to attend the funeral and hold up the pall; however, as she was to be buried in the Baptist graveyard, Mr. Gibbons had notice of the funeral, attended the corpse to the grave, where he gave a short discourse, as usual; a large company of Methodists attended with a mob, who threw stones and beat one or two women.

LATIN COMMON PRAYER, S.P.C.K. In the interest of literature, if from no higher motive, I venture to note the little Latin Prayer now on sale at the depôt of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge as a book of false pretence.

It has no Proper Lesson nor Psalm Table, no "Order for Tables of any kind, no Calendar, no Morning and Evening Prayer daily to used throughout the year," that is, no Rubric" whatever.

he said and 66 Ornaments

These are among the book's sins of omission; its sins of commission are many and great.

Take the Collects of Morning and Evening Prayer with those for Sundays, Holy-days, At, and After, Communion. Sixty-four of these, translated from the Latin of Sarum into the Book of Common Prayer, are here rendered back from the English into a Latin which is not that of Sarum nor of the English Church at all, but of the translator only; while that of the Versicles, the Litany, and several other collects is more or less gratuitously tampered with. Only four come within the scope of fair and honest treatment, and even they are meddled with needlessly.

"Mrs. Wilson, after baptism, July 28, 1749, on her return home was hated by her husband, a zealous Methodist.

"Mrs. Bentley requested Mr. Charles Wesley, of whom she had a high opinion, to be the administrator, to which he consented, being of opinion, as he said, that it looked more like primitive practice to perform it in a river than in a baptistry, and desired Mr. Gibbons to go with him to look out for a convenient place, which they found about a mile beyond Carrigrohan. Mr. Wesley, however, left Cork without having performed the ceremony.”

At this time the Methodists seem to have com

pletely absorbed the Baptists in Cork.

"A list of members in Cork under Rev. Ebenezer Gibbons, Oct. 26, 1757. [Men, 44; women, 26; names, &c., given.]

"March 14, 1758.-John, second son of Freeman Rogers, of Bally-Navin, co. Tipperary, E-q., departed; his mother was eldest daughter and heiress to the late John Falkiner, of Dublin, Esq.; he served his apprenticeship to Riggs Falkiner, of Cork. Funeral sermon preached by Mr. Gibbons.

"June 4, 1758.-Mrs. Lucy Rose, daughter of Mr. George Woods, departed; she lived with her daughter at Bailinhassig, co. Cork, and was past ninety years. Funeral sermon by Rev. Morgan Edwards.

"June, 1758.-A general meeting at Waterford; ministers attending, Mr. James North, Mr. William Bolton, Mr. Morgan Edwards; principal business, ordination of Mr Philips to be their pastor."

Here follows a letter from the Church of Cork.
