DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. " Much of the Pale 011 sold in the market is found to be nothing more than Skate Oil—a fact which will account for the failures which have so frequently attended the use of the so called Cod Liver Oil. The utmost reliance may be place 1 upon the experimental researches of Dr. de Jongh, who is one of the most eminent of European chemists; the Oil procured by him enjoys also the additional sanction of the opinion of Baron Liebeg and the late Dr. Pereira in favour of its genuineness and efficacy. Our own experience practically confirms their jndg• meat, and WE UNFIESIT%TINGLY RECOMMEND DR. DE JONOICS LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL AS THE BEST FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES, AND WELL DESERVING THE CONFIDENCE OP THE PROFESSION." DR. DE JONGH'S COD LIVER OIL Has now, in consequence of its marked superiority over every other variety, secured the entire confidence and almost universal preference of the most eminent Medical Practitioners as the mostspeedy and effectual remedy for consumeTtoN.IIRONCIIITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, RHEUMATISM, SCI*TICA, DIABETES, DISEASES OF THE EXIN, NEURALGIA, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING, GENEEAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS.

The prayers and offerings of Churchmen are SOLICITED in aid of en effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly populated district around the Victoria Docks. Wil hin the last few years the formation of a portion of these Docks and other causes have added a population of about 4,000 souls to the spiritual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A new town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground adjoining the t iver Thames, totally on drainer', and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years it is probable that this district will rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and hanits of its popu lation. It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly•congregated masses, and to increase their staff as circumstances may render it necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The ob ject of this appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hope less evil, but to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man, woman, and child in the di-trict, to endeavour to bring all within the fold Of our National Church, to instruct them according to her formularies, and to preserve them in the communion of her faith and worship. Ragged Schools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Bagged Churches in school-rooms ? We propose, there fore in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROM THE PRAYER BOOR in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of the untaught poor, with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments. The Lord Bishop of London has elven his cordial sanction to the work, and has undertaken, at the earnest solicitation of the promoters of the missicn, to select the clergy when funds are provided. To aid us in our difficult task special donations are required for the necessary outlay for Missionary Stations, Schools, kc.; and also regular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of teachers, clerical and lay. It is intended at an early date to submit the scheme to a general meeting. Further particulars will be given by the Rev. R. W. R. Marsh, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow: Antonio Brady, Esq., Mary land Point, Stratford, Essex .Treasurer ; or the Rev. Alfred W. Mason. Stratford green. by whom donations or suhscriptions for five years will be thankfully received ; or at the Bank of Coutts and Co., 59, Strand, or Messrs. Ditnadale and Co., 60, Cornhill, to the account of the Plaistow and Dock Mission. TWENTY SHILLINGS PER DOZEN. DENMAN'S SOUTH AFRICAN PORT. DENMAN'S SOUTH AFRICAN SHERRY.
