During excessive variations of temperature every one is more or less liable to internal congestions and inflammations. Throat, chest, liver, bowels, kidneys, and skin all suffer in some degree, and may be relieved by rubbing in this Ointment, aided by proper doses of the Pills, for administering which full directions accompany each box; in truth, any one who thoroughly masters Holloway's "Instructions" will, in remedying disease, exchange the labour of an hour for the profit of a lifetime. All bronchial, pulmonary, and throat disorders require that the Ointment should be thoroughly well rubbed upon the skin twice a day with great regularity, considerable briskness, and much persistence.

Published by JOHN FRANCIS, 20, Wellington Street, Strand, HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-The sudden changes, frequent fogs, and pervading dampness, sorely impede the vital functions and conduce to ill health. The remedy for these disasters lies in some purifying medicine, like these Pills, which is competent to grapple with the mischief at its source, and stamp it out without fretting the nerves or weakening the system. Holloway's Pills extract from the blood all noxious matters, regulate the action of every disordered organ, stimulate the liver and kidneys, and relax the bowels. In curing chest complaints these Pills are remarkably effective, especially when aided by fiction of the Ointment on its walls. This double treatment will ensure a certain, steady, and beneficent progress, and sound health will soon be re-established. LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1881. CONTENTS. — No 55.

[Next week we hope to give a letter from Mr. Croker to Mr. A. Greville, Bath King at Arms, brother of Mr. Charles C. F. Greville, Clerk of the Council; it bears an autograph reply from the Duke of Wellington, on the subject of an incident at the battle of Waterloo.] RECORDS OF THE BAPTISTS OF CORK. The following notes are taken from the Baptist Register, Cork, the only record in the possession of that body. It is now in the custody of Mr. Flemming, of this city, one of the trustees, to whom I am indebted for its perusal. It is in a very dilapidated condition, and requires the greatest care in handling. I have no doubt it would be gratifying to many to know that anything of interest in it has been preserved in the pages of "N. & Q." We learn from this register that, "The records of the Church (Baptist) of Cork were destroyed by fire in 1729, and that on Mr. Fowke's settlement here he set himself to make up that loss. He colfrom some ancient members, one of whom lived to be lected the few remaining papers and gathered information ninety years old. He digested and entred it in this book with his own hand." The old member was a Mrs. Rose, who was born 1668, and March 24, 1757, was in the full enjoyment of all her faculties. Some of the materials |
