An Effectual Cure of Rheumatism in Lincolnshire. Forwarded by Mr. Jas. Drury. of Lincoln, near the Stonebow. To Mr. Front, 229, Strand, London.

Seeing Blaii's Pills advertised for Rheumatism, he applied to me to know if I thought he would be relieved if he took the Pills. I recom mended him to try a box, he bought one, and came the next week to say he f e lt mu c h relieved, - as the swelling of his hand had gone nearly down : he however finished the box, and bought a second, and came this day (March 23, 1838) to say that he had taken the second box of Pills ' and that he was well, free from swelli ng , an d abl e t o use his hand as usual. This. Sir, is not the only case of much benefit I have been made acquainted with, received by taking BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS; every week fresh cases of cure and relief come before my notice. But Wm. Rawson, feeling much gratitude from the relief he has received, begs to inform you of the same, and hopes others may be induced to try such a valuable medicine for Rheumatism or Gout.

DRTAR. BARKER'S celebrated SPECIFIC, i n th e f orm o f . Pills, is giving daily evidence of its superiority over every other Specific hitherto produced for the cure of the above painful Diseases. No case of Gout resists its effects longer than twenty-four or thirty-hours; and Rheumatism, however severe and protracted, is relieved in three or four days, and generally cured in one or two weeks, while the paroxysms of Tic Douloureux are soon reduced in frequency and severity. Tbis Specific always restores and invigorates the general health, and never occasions headache, sickness, or bowel complaint,—symptoms that invariably Attend the use of every other Specific without exception,—and indicating the presence of Colchicum or Veratrum,' two dangerous drugs, which never fail to undermine th e co n s tit u ti on . Thi s Specific is now prescribed by the first Physicians in Town and Country, and has been used in several of their tltmilies with unerring efficacy. Dr. B.'s professional reputation in Edinburgh for upwards of thirty years, is a sufficient guarantee to the Public of the value and importance of the Specific. These Pills are prepared by Dr. Barker, Edinburgh, and sold in Boxes at 2s. 9d. each, by all respectable Druggists and Patent Medicine Venders in Liverpool, Chester, War rington, Manchester, Rochdale, Halifax, Leeds, York, Hull, Newcastle, Lancaster, Preston, Dublin, Belfast, &c., and Wholesale by all the Patent Medicine Houses in London, and by J. and R.

VEGETABLE WEATHER-PROPHET.—The attention of sci entific men is just now directed to a curious discovery of Prof. Stiefel—well known throughout Germany for his Natu ral Science—the result of which has been the attainment of a more accurate knowledge of those changes to which the atmosphere is subjected, than was possible by the old method. The instruments hitherto in use have been the thermometer and the barometer, but an unerring standard has been con sidered a desideratum; that is said to have been at last sup plied in the shape of Geranium fruit, the awns of which are ire and evolved by the dryness or humidity of the atmosphere, in obedience to laws so regular and unvarying, that being fixed upon a dial-plate properly graduated, the change from one part of the room to another may be noted with the great est accuracy. A paper on the subject was to be read at the meeting of German naturalists, held this year at Freyburg. Prof. Stiefel is the greatest weather-doctor in southern Ger many, and has fur many years tabulated the changes in th atmosphere, according to a plan suggested by Goethe ; but he does not venture to predict for more than twenty-four hours at a time, and laughs at our weather-prophets. By observation, he says one may get the rule, but not the excep tion. LACE MADE BY CATERPILLARS.—An extraordinary spe cies of manufacture has been contrived by an officer of engi neers residing at Munich. It consists of lace and veils, with open patterns in them, made entirely by caterpillars. The following is the mode of proceeding adopted :—Having made a paste of the leaves of the plant on which the species of ca terpillar he employs feeds, he spreads it thinly over a stone, or other flat substance of the required size. He then, with a camel-hair pencil dipped in olive-oil, draws the pattern he wishes the insects to leave open. This stone is then placed in an inclined position, and a considerable number of the ca terpillars are placed at the bottom. A peculiar species is chosen, which spins a strong web; and the animals commence at the bottom eating and spinning their way up to the top, carefully avoiding every part touched by the oil, but devour ing every other part of the paste. The extreme lightness of these veils, combined with some strength, is truly surprising. One of them, measuring 264 by 17 inches, weighed only a grain and a half, a degree of lightness which will appear more strongly by contrast with other fabrics. One square yard of the substance of which these veils are made weighs 41 grains, whilst one square yard of silk gauze weighs 137 1-3rd grains; and one square yard of the finest net weighs 2621 grains. THE BDSH-ROPE.—A vine, called by the wood -cutters the bush-rope, on account of its use in hauling out the heaviest timber, has a singular appearance in the forests of Demerara. Sometimes you see it nearly as thick as a man's body, twisted like a cork-screw round the tallest trees, and rearing its head above their tops. At other times, three or four of them, like strands in a cable, join tree and tree, and branch and branch together. Others, descending from on high, take root as soon as their extremity touches the ground, and ap pear like shrouds and stays, supporting the mainmast of a line of battleship; while others, sending out parallel, oblique, horizontal, and perpendicular shoots, in all directions, put you in mind of what travellers call a matted forest. Often times a tree, above a hundred feet in height, uprooted by the whirlwind, is stopped in its fall by these amazing cables of nature; and hence it is that you account for the phenomenon of seeing trees, not only vegetating, but sending forth vino rows shoots, though far from their perpendicular, and their trunks inclined to every degree from the meridian to the ho rizon. Their heads remain firmly supported by the bush rope; many of their roots soon refi - x themselves in the earth, and frequently a strong shoot will sprout out perpendicularly from near the root of the reclined trunk, and in time becom e a fine tree.— fraterton's Wanderings in South America. WAVERLEY MANUSCRIPTS.—We lately had the p l easare of looking over the original :manuscripts of the Waverley Novels, which have been repurchased from v arious P art i es, and are now in the safe keeping of Mr. Cadell, publisher, Edinburgh. They form a long file of quarto volunles, hand somely bound in Russia leather. They a re accorapanied by the original manuscripts of the " Ladyof the Lake," and some other of the poems. So vast a series of ori g i na l com positions—full of brilliant creative genius —has certainly not issued from one man's brain since ShaksPeare threw off, successively, his thirty-seven plays, aPParently with the same ease that a tree resigns its leaves to the wind. Sir Walter Scott wrote a careless, but free and regular hand. His novels are written on large quarto post paper, side only, (as authors generally do for the accommodation ou one of the printer,) and each page is crammed from top to bottom, and side to side. Leaf follows leaf, through quires and reams of paper, with only a s light ve r b a l correc ti on or inter lineation here and there! His intellect seems at once to have embodied itself in suitable language, and he poured out himself on paper with the same facility that a man en gages in conversation, or pens an ordinary letter. Sir Wal ter, it is known, read over and revised the whole of his novels, preparatory to their republication in their latest form, in monthly volumes. For this purpose he had a copy of each work interleaved; and this goodly array of volumes is also in the possession of Mr. Cadell. Sir Walter appears to have bestowed considerable pains on this last duty to his numerous offspring be altered words, improved the phraseo logy, corrected his quotations, and occasionally heightened and improved the dialogue. Some of the smaller fry of critics used to ridicule the author of 'Waverley for his Scot ticisms—such as saying that one man inquired at another, instead of inquiring of him. Sir Walter made the only sensible use of these criticisms : he quietly drew his pea through the "at" and substituted "of." No Scottish author, with the single exception, perhaps, of Dr. Beattie, ever fairly got rid of these little peculiarities of style and expression which betray his origin; but few or none could be more in different about the matter than Sir Walter Scott. He looked to the general effect—to the grouping of incidents—and to the delineation of character and passion, leaving the lan guage to shift for itself. The world was content to take the words as they came. The pres s was a l wa y s ca lli ng to hi m f or manuscript; and the prospect of a new wing to Abbotsford, or the payment et* another thousand pounds, spurred him on in his almost superhuman career. Alas ! that he should have taxed himself beyond the strength and endurance of frail humanity ! We may add, that the Waverley Manu scripts are kept in a fine Gothic cabinet of oak, which Mr. Cadell has hail made for that purpose;„ and, if no accident intervene, future ages Will, undoubtedly, look 'upon this ark of genius with wonder aud delight.—lnverness Courier. persons who shall then have Geen assured against Loss by nears • • • - tkerettrtira'sa *t- -474 ' ••• cont) 9ned success Iffrof annual Poli, 71,11*--• •-• neeount of the Pro`..lts in the 14 PARTAI ITT .. 4 will also be taken at the same. timst GIRDS of which will be apportioned as a BONUS amongst holders of Life Po- licies of four years standing.

They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or 'Ferro-Me tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Guineas Forty 15 0 0 Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, nr mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOO In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBE ,or any deleterious ingredient. *** With each Box is given a Treatise'. tin Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observationsiin seminal weak ness Sze. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadral and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con. stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certai tv with which they were continually admini s t ere d can b e a ct dby many thousands. In fact, during the l ong con ti nen ar t t, they were the inseparable companion and sa f eguar d of be soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and i m p erc eptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but eff ec t a com pl e te cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pill s , f or w h en t a k en before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from NIII3 till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEN. Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by return, and Medicines punctually; transmitted to any ad dress either by initials or name. No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE _____ OWQUA'S MIXTUREcF46;;;BinciTii, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER, in Chinese Catty Packages. The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas, is Capt. JOHN RHODES PIDDING, (late Commander pf the Hon. Company's ship Thames, of 1400 tons.) Captain Pidding having made EIGHT VOYAGES to CHINA, embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, aof securing to himself the exclusive importation of these Teas; and he sup plies them to the Public, through ONE Agent in each town. GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 86, Bold-street, SOLE AGENT for LIVERPOOL. In an action brought by Capt. Pidding, against a person who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved before the Vice-Chancellor, on the affid av it o f Mr. William Styan, an eminent Broker, of 27 years' experience, employed to test the merits of these Teas, " That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE' is a tea of a peculiar flavor, and composed of many varieties qf black teas, all of the finest quality; that it has a character peculiar itself —A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And " Tbat HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such tea could not be bought in the market. __ "NV. Sty-an 1" Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane, this Bth day of May, 1837, before me, " Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR. It was also proved on oath, that Captain.Pidding's Teas were sepplied for the Royal Use. Dr. JOlinson, late physician to Geo. IV., considers this the best of Teas, and uses n o o th er . A s Author of "The Eco nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes thus:— " Nov. 22,__1837. " SlR,—Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no heiitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c. " To Capt. Pidding." " JA 111 ES JOHNSON, M.D. Its superior excellence is further proved, by G. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated—" The Hong Merchants used not generally to deliver for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by the fact that since the opening of the trade new varieties had been brought to England, and, in particular, a tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and the Howqua's Mixture' has now become "A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY." It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas consist of " HOWQUA'S Mix . runE" (black tea), at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the catty package. " HowcwA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 71d. per lb., is lls. 6d. the catty package. Each package contains I lb. and one third nett of tea. CAUTION !—The names of C. VER REY, 218, Regent-street, and T.
