The unprecedented popularity of
tliis marvelously perfect organization

friends and elated its admirers. The
engagement in New York which ran
through (iff en weeks, was the most
successful ever chronicled there, and

indorsement of the splendid perform
ances. The great exhibition, with all
its manifold attractions, will exhibit
here, on Thursday next, 12th inst.,
when two full and complete per-
lormances will occur. The N. Y.
Daily Times, of March 20, says of
the Great London:
“ An immense audience filled every
available spice in the auditorium of
Gillinorc’s Garden last night, to wit
ness the opening of the Great London
Show, comprising Singer’s Enlarged
British Menagerie and Dockrill’s
Parisian Circus. The arenio per
formancc included all the leading fea
tures of the lonn.-r entertainment,
an 1, in addition, many novel and
uniipie teals. Among them may be
mentioned the juggling equestrian
act, by .Miss Pauline Lee ; the coin's
cal i.arcba k riding monkey, and the
reappear nee of Francesco Brown,
tho liareliack champion. M’lle Elsie

Good Digestion.—“ Give us thl
day our daily bread” ami good medi
cine to digest it, is both reven-nt and
human. The human stomach and
liver ate fruitful sources of life’s
comforts ; or disordered and diseased,
they tingle misers along every nerve
and through every artery. The man
or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routine oi
life, where the dispeptic sees only
gloom and stumbles and growls at
even imaginary objects. The world
still needs two or three new kinds of
medicine before death can be perfectly
abolished ; but that many lives have
been prolonged, and many sufferers
from Liver disease, Dispepsia and
Headache, have been cured by Mor
rell’s llepatiue, is no longer a doubt.
It cures Headache in twenty minutes,
and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery made iu
medical science. Those afflicted with
Biliousness and Liver Complaint
should use Merrell’s Ilepatinc.
