ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND : MDCCCLXVIII. To the Public. The Compiler has much pleasure in submitting to the Public the Newfoundland Almanac for the Year 1869; he indulges the hope that reasonable allowance will be made for such imperfections and inaccuracies as may be found in its pages. No labor or expense has been spared to make it a popular and useful book of reference, and he trusts it will be found quite equal if not superior to those of preceding years. The Newfoundland Almanac for 1869 contains, as did also that for 1808, a concise Business Directory for the three principal towns of the Colony— St, John's, Harbor Grace, and Carbonear J and as it is intended that the Almanac will be extensively circulated out of Newfoundland, the information embodied in The Directory cannot fail to be useful to all who have an interest in the Trade and Commercial relations of this Colony. The Compiler is again indebted to James Campbell, Esq., the worthy and talented Principal of the St, John's Nautical Academy* for the Astronomical Calculations and other Scientific Information contained in the introductory and Calendar pages of the present work. To the Heads of Departments, and others, he is also indebt- ed for their kindness in furnishing the desired information. The Compiler begs to tender his acknowledgments to the general public for the very favorable manner in which the Almanac has been received hitherto ; he trusts that the Number for 1869 will be equally favored, and command if possible a much larger share of public support. To the advertising patrons of the Almanac the undersigned is indebted for their continued favors, and hopes that the efforts made to give their notices an attractive form will meet with their approval.

Eclipses, 1869. In this year (1869) there will be Four Eclipses^ two of the SuN and TWO of the Moon. First— On January the 27th, there will be a partial Eclipse oftht Moon^ and will be visible in this Island during its continuance, as the Moon will rise on that day about 38.n. past 7h. p.m., and conte, quently the followi ng phenomena can be observed, if the weather be clear, at the following times : Mean time of conjunction in R.

[St. John's Mean Time.] Second— On February lOih and 11th, an annular Eclipse of the Sun, not visible in any part of the [Northern Hemisphere, higher than the 10, b degree of North Latitude, the central Ime of Eclipse being from Lat. oOdeg. 12tnin. S., Long. 107deg. W., to Lat. 24deg, 48min. S., Long. SOdeg;. 24min. E. Third— On July 22dand 23rd there will be an Eclipse oftheMoon^ but the Moon will not be above our Horizon during its continuancei and consequently cannot be seen in Newfoundland. Fou)iJi—On August the 7ih, there will be^a total Eclipse of the Sun, not visible in Newfour.dlard, tho' it be visible all around the North Pole, and about the middle of the central line on the Earth, and the middle line of the phenomenon will be about Bherings Straits. The Planet VENDS will rise before the SuN, and consequently will be a Morning Star till the 10th of May, this 'year ; bat from this date to the end of the year, she wi 1 be an Erening Star. Mabs will be a Morning Star till February IBih ; from this time to the end of the year he will be an Evening Star. Jupiter will rise after the Sun, and thus will be an evening Star till April 17ih, but too near the Sun to be seen ; after this date he will lise before the Sun till Nov. 14th ; from this Utter date, to the end of the year, he wi I be an Evening Star. , THE NEWFOUNDLAND ALMANAC. 7 Planetary Notice. The Planets of the Solar System are 29 in number. Of them, 11 are primary, and 18 secondary, or Moons. Of these Moons, our Eaeth has one, Jupiter four, Saturn seven, and Uranus six. Of the primarj planets, two are called inferior^ viz.. Mercury and VenuSf because they are nearer the Sun than the Earth; the others are called superior, because farther from ths Sun than the Earth, Magnitude—diam- JDistancefrom the Sun. eters in miles.

The Eclipses of -Jupiter's Satellites (given in the Greenwich Al- manac to the nearest tenth of one second of time) afford the easiest means of knowing the Greenwich time, and thence to determine the longitude of whatever place on the globe, the observer may be situ- ated. No calculation is required, but they cannot be observed at sea, the motion of the Ship rendering it impossible to secure that steadiness of the instruments necessaiy to observe them.

Note.—The Tide Tables (in the Calendar pages) may be rendered applicable to various other places on the coast, by simply adding or subtracting, as the case may be, the difference between the times of High Water on the Full and Change of the Moon at St. John's, and the time of the full tide at any other harbor ; for example, to find the time of High Water at any of the principal harbors of Conception Bay, add 45 minutes to the time at which it will be High Water at St. John's ; for Placentia Bay, add 2 hours ; for St. Peter's, Ih.

The Great New England Remedy me tf{rtopuni Es now offered to the afflicted throughout the country, after having been proved by the test of thirteen years in the New England States, where its merits have become as well known as the tree from which ia part, it derives its virtues* The White Pine Compound Cures Sore Throat, Colds, Coughs, Diptheria, Bronchitis^ Spitting of Blood and Pidmojiary Affections generally. It is a remarkable Bemcdy for Kidney Complaints, Diabetes, Di^culty of Voiding Urine, Bleeding from the Kidneys and Bladder, Gravel and other complaints. FOR PILES AND SCURTEY IT TYILL BE FOUND YERr VALUABLE. Among all the popular medicines offered for sale, no one seems to have gained favor like this Compound. The medicine was first made as lately as the spring of 1855, and then merely for one indi- vidual, who was affected with an inflammation of the throat. A cure was effected by it. This induced others to apply for the same reme- dy, and every one using it received great benefit. The article, how- ever, went ivithout a name till November following, when it was called White Pine Compound. During that month it was advertised for the first time. Some time in 1856, an individual who purchased a bottle for a hard cough was not only cured of the cough, but also of severe kid« ney complaint of ten years' endurance. This being truly a discovery^ the fact was mentioned to a skilful physician, who replied in sub" stance that the bark of white pine was one of the best diuretics known, provided its astringency could be counteracted. If the other articles entering into the Compound would effect this, a fortune was in the medicine ! Tlie fortune has not yet been reached ; but the hundreds of cases effected by the Compound, in the most aggravated cases of kidney diseases, including Diade^es, prove it to be a wonder- ful medicine for such ailments. A large number of physicians now employ, or recommend it for such use. But while the White Pine Compound is so useful in kidney inflam- mation, it is likewise a wonderful curatire in all thioat and lung die- eases. It so quickly and soothingly allays inflammation that hoarse- ness and soreness are removed as if by magic. Numerous cases have ADVERTISEMENTS. xxxT, been reported to the originator, where relief in very severe cases have been experienced in one hour, and a cure effected in twenty four hours. There is a very natural reason for this. The barks and even the leaves, or " needles" ot the white pine, contains eminent medicinal qualities. The Indians employed the bark of white pine in treating diseases long before the settlement of America by Europeans. The past year has given a great opportunity to test the virtues of the White Pine Compound. It has been an unusual time for Colds and Coughs, and very large quantities of the White Fine Compound have been sold and used with the happiest effects. It speaks well for the medicine, that the people living where it is prepared are high in its praise. One bottle of this Compound is generally sufficient to remove a bad cough; and frequently I have known persons to have a cold en- tirely removed in two days by using less than half a bottle. From one to two teaspoonfuls is a large dose. I sometimes put a little white sugar and hot water with it, when taken on going to bed. The limits to which I purposely confine myself will not allow of that full expression which I would like to give in favor of the WJiite Pine Compound. It is so universally admired by all who use it ; it has attained to such a popularity among those whose opinion is valu- able indeed, that vanity may possibly in part prompt me to record more here than hurried people will have patience to read; so I will stop by merely recommending to all who need a cough or kidney remedy, to test the virtues of the White Pine Compound. FROM HON. P. H. SWEETSER. South Reading, May, 1864. Dr. J. W. Poland. Bear iSiV, —Having long known something of the valuable medi- cinal properties of the White Pine I was prepared, on seeing an ad- vertisement of your White Pine Compound, to give the medicine a trial. It has been used by members of my family for several years, for colds and coughs, and, in some cases, of serious kidney difficul- ties with excellent results. Several of our friends have also received much benefit from the Compound. AVe intend to keep it always on hand. The White Pine Compound. GEORGE W. SWETT, M.D., Proprietor. Will be manufactured in future at the New-England Botanic Depot, 106 Hanover Street, Boston, under the supervision of Rev. J. W. Poland. Dr. George W.
