In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's Ointment well rubbed over the affected part immediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threatening diarrhea, and averts incipient cholera. The poorer inhabitants of large cities will find these remedies to be their best friend when any pestilence rages, or when, from unknown causes, eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulcerations point out the presence of taints or impurities within the system, and call for instant and effective curative medicines.

Notes. JUBILEE OR JUBILE. Whilst at this auspicious period of rejoicing the word jubilee is in every one's mouth, it may not be without interest to call attention to a few points connected with it, as to its orthography, derivation, signification, and application. First, as to the orthography. In the current English literature it appears always, or almost always, as Jubilee. This is taken, but incorrectly, from the Authorized Version of Leviticus xxv. 9, &c., "Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound." The single e of the termination is preserved throughout, and is also continued in the Revised Version; but in almost all the imprints except those of the Queen's printer, it will be found as Jubilee. It is so given in the text of Dr. Adam Clarke's 'Commentary' (edit. 1836)| and in Thos. Scott's Bible (edit. 1850). The English versions from Coverdale onwards present no fewer than six variations. Coverdale's first edition (1535) has iubilye; Matthew's (1537), jubelye; Cranmer (1549), iubely (1566), iubelye; Taverner (1549), indiscriminately iubelie, Jubely, tubelye; Bishops' Bible, in the two beautiful blackletter folio editions of 1572 and 1585, jubilee; Barker's ("Breeches," 1610), jubile; Authorized (1611), jubile. These all follow the Vulgate jubileus, modified into French jubile, and altered ad libitum by our early translators. The word was not entirely strange in English, being employed by Chaucer in the 'Sompnoure's Tale,' v. 7444 :— They may now, God be thanked of his lone, Maken hir jubilee and walke alone. The word does not occur in Shakespeare. The derivation of the word is far from clear, and has given rise to considerable difference of opinion amongst Biblical scholars. The Hebrew roots being triconsonantal, when written without the vowel-points the meaning is frequently doubtful. Thus, y-b-l, or j-b-l, may be either jobel, interpreted by Gesenius, Ewald, and De Wette as the trumpet, or the sound of the trump, or jabal, " undavit, impetu fluxit," according to Kranold. According to another ancient interpretation, the radical signifies to emit, liberate, and abstractly, freedom, liberty. This is the view taken by Josephus and adopted by the LXX., who translate Lev. xxv. 11, 'Apéσews onμaoía avTη TÒ ETOS TÒ TEVTηKOσTOV viaνтòs eσтaι vμîv, “A sign of restitution shall that fiftieth year be unto you." 66 The Rabbins maintain that the word points out rams' horns, which are supposed to have been employed on the occasion. Bochart doubts whether rams' horns were ever employed as trumpets, and thinks that the horns spoken of may have been the horns of oxen, or brazen trumpets in the shape of horns. However this may be, there can be no doubt of the references to the Jewish feast at the end of seven times seven years, and the social arrangements and restitutions arising therefrom. There are two leading lines of interpretation, which start from different ideas, but are not incapable of reconciliation. The one is that of restitution, adopted by the LXX. and endorsed by Josephus. The other is that of a festival and rejoicing, the term applying rather to the accessories than to the work performed. The Eastern interpreters appear to have laid most stress on the former, but the Latin Church has consistently adhered to the latter. The Jubileus of the Vulgate claimed affinity with jubilo, jubilatio, jubilans, existing terms of joy in the Latin language. A Bull of Pope Boniface VIII. in A.D. 1300 established the plenary indulgence of the Jubilee year, first at intervals of a hundred, and subsequently of fifty years, and hence the joyful associations usually connected with the idea of a jubilee. This view of the jubilee runs through all the versions of the Latin races, and has quite superseded in the popular view the restitutive idea of the LXX. In the other European languages some adopt the Hebrew word untranslated, as in Danish, "Thi det er et Jubelaar, det skal være eder en Hellighed." "For it is the jubilee, it shall be holy unto |
