1 92 HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION and DISEASES of the CHEST. Patron—The QUEEN. Incorporated by Act of Parliament. Thirteen years ago there was no hospital for consumption, nor any shelter to he found for the victims of a national disease. Since the opening of the first portion of the new building in 1616, no less than 3,03 in-patients, 111111 29,506 out-patients, have been treated, and in very many instances the disease has been successfully overcome; and so great has been the demand for admission that the names of 165 persons, upon an average, have hitherto been upon the books as unable to be taken in for want of room. This painful circumstance, continually pressing itself upon the notice of the Committee, has determined them, in full reliance upon the necessary increase of public support, to throw open the whole of the New Wing , which accommodates 130 addi tional patients; and they have now the satisfaction to announce that the long and distressing delay to which patients had been unavoidably subjected exists no longer. At the same time, how ever, in taking so bold and decided a step, a vast addition of re ernisibility has been incurred, and upon this and other grounds the Committee earnestly appeal for kind and special considera tion at this very important period in the history of the Charity. Every donor of £3l 10s. or upwards at one time, or at different w.ioils within three years, becomes a Governor for life, and may re,otinnen.l one in patient and eight out-patients annually. Every subscriber of .£3 3s. or upwards per annum becomes a Governor, and may recommend one in-patient and eight out patient annually. Every person making a bequest of £lOO or upwards to the Hospital may nominate a Life Governor, and in the event of no such nomination being made the executor first mentioned in the Will is entitled to the privilege of a Life Governor. Subscriptions and donations in aid of the Charity are received by Williams, Deacon, and Co., the bankers of the Hospital ; and by the following bankers:—Barclay sad Co.; Cocks, lliddulph, Coutts, and Co.; Drummonds and Co.; Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co.. flankeys and Co. ; Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Ran som and Co.; by F. and J.

DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. Prescribed with complete confidence by the Faculty for its purity, efficacy, and marked superiority over all other kinds. It is entirely free from nauseous flavour, and being invariably and carefully submitted to chemical analysis—AND (mix SUP PLIED IN SEALED BOTTLES TO PRECLUDE SUBSEQUENT ADMIX• 'PURE OR ADULTERATION—this Oil possesses a guarantee of genuineness and purity offered by no other Cod Liver Oil. Extract from " THE LANCET," July 29,1854. " Dr. de dongh gives the preference to the Light Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elements of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil no doubt partly depends. Some of the deficiencies of the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and espe• daily to its filtration through charcoal.

The importance of our rapidly increasing trade, both forebit and colonial, renders it absolutely necessary that the transit of passengers and merchandise should be conducted with rapidity, regularity, and economy. Any enterprise combining these ad vantages cannot fail in securing a profitable remuneration. This Company, availing itself of all the advantages science has discovered in the navigation of vessels, propose building a fleet of iron clipper vessels, tilted with that powerful auxiliary the screw propellor, so that their progress will never be delayed by calms or adverse winds. The rapidity and regularity of these vessels materially reduce the expense, whilst their annual earnings are larger from the greater number of voyages performed, and consequently the in creased amount of tonnage conveyed. It is a well ascertained fact that vessels properly fitted with screw propellers of proportionate power to their tonnage make at least three voyages in the time that similar vessels without this auxiliary accomplish one voyage. The great success obtained by all the steam navigation com• panies having sufficient capital, and conducted upon sound mercantile principles, proves that large and safe profits can be secured by those embarking in this enterprise. The Directors do not contemplate confining their ships to any specific line, but will seek to employ them from time to time on the stations most likely to afford profitable employment for their tonnage. It will be a peculiar feature of this Company that the Direc- tors, being mostly engaged in mercantile pursuits, will have it in their power to contribute largely to the employment of the Company's vessels. The Directors, with a view of commencing active operations as quickly as possible, have already entered into conditional ar rangements for the building of two superior vessels, thereby preventing the delay which has proved so injurious in the early stages of several companies. The responsibility of each Shareholder Is limited by Actor Par liament to the extent of his shares; and, to p•event incotive nienee to the Stetrelioldcrs front irregular and uncertain calls, the Directors have deter ttt i t tell that the payments on shares be made as follows :—A deposit of 41. per share upon albtment, as prescribed by Act of Parliament, and the remainder in eight calls of 21. euch,payable at intervals of not less than two months between each call.

TZEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES. - 111 The vast increase in the demand for these Cough Lozenges, and the numerous Testimonials constantly received, fully justify the Proprietor in asserting they are the best and safest yet offered to the Public for the cure of the following complaints:— AS EHMA, WINTER COUGH, HOARSENESS, SHORTNESS of BREATH, and other PULMONARY MALADIES. Theyhave deservedly obtained the high patronage of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the King of Hanover; very many, also, of the Nobility and Clergy, and of the Public generally, use them, under the recommendation of sonic of the most eminent of the Faculty.
