Thpresent ere is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of day'and more p ar ti cu l arly in those of the past century, than a' general disregard to the maxims of prudence in .regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi udes.who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con titutfon, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their suinds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and theit: bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged lab ' labor y, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervousg derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF .SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great slumber to the per life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in per manent enjoyment of ail disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of syniptorns commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the -corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with_ .out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate Indulgence in their passions, have ruined their .constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the co nsummation of that deplorable malady, :the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the var ious\affections of the nervous system, sobstmate sleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But the relief .the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all th e calamit ous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such us these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacusu will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of 'life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requ i res. To the young it. will afford lastin„' , health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invi ,, orating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in tbe power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. diThe Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In es for nourishi ng an d i nv i gorating the nervous system and :acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, ;arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. `f lie studious as well as the sedentary part of the community ,should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacurn, avlaies removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, Improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

Nemem TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. UAVING been appointed to take the Management of 11 various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly before you. The very little support which even the most favoured of them have received, considering the wealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration of this, it is an as certained fact, that out of the 30,000 names contained in the Liverpool Directory, only 1570 persons subscribe to any of the Public charitieirof the Town. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va. rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the following Associations.

SPOT OF CAPTAIN COOK'S DEATH.--The rock is some what isolated, and at high tide the water breaks over its 'Summit. It is said to be, at present, not one-fourth its original size; as almost every vistter, for a number of years,. has been in the habit of carrying away a fragment of it as a_ relic. A French man-of-war, which was lately here, is said to have taken off about a ton of it ; and some Spaniards who. visited the island several years since. not only took specimens of the rock, but the whole ship's company knelt upon it, and offered np a prayer for the repose of the hero's soul. — Towns head's Sporting Excursions in the Rocky Mountains. NAMING H OUNDS. —Inasmuch as the music of a pack of hounds immeasurably surpasseth that of the whole race of Pastas and Albertazzis, so should the ear of the thorough going fox-hunter attuned some three or four times in the week to the sweetest of all inal tificial harmony, greatly sur pass in delicacy that of the whole ribambelle of opera goers and concert frequenters. This. being an established fact— one concerning which there can be no dispute—it is surpris ing that masters of hounds do not pay a little more attention to the nam es b es t owe d upon ' their favoarites than is their wont, and not suffer the mind of the sportsman to be outraged by hearing a heap of adjectives in their huntsman's vocabu lary; for bawl he the wads "Dangerous, Joy ful, Speedy, or Fanciful," never so melodiously, the association of ideas en gendered by such words, in their abstract sense, cannot fail to jar upon the mind, eicid n0.14e-ve behugiaN tAit v o !tan rao meklOg WlR roatif lWAta, ODIC fie 4 Afi t eAr bey. ‘-- A ff 416 C 7 # 77- e Oburation: 1 • - THE Rev.

L I VE R PO 0 L' AT the ANNUAL MEETING of the TRUSTEES of the LIVERPOOL INFIRMARY, held in the Board Room, on MONDAY, the 13th instant, Mr. EDWARD GIBBON in the Chair, It was resolved unanimously, That accounts for the past year, with the report, be printed, and presented to the trustees and subscribers as early as possible. That the thanks of this meeting be presented to R. B. B. H. Blundell, Esq. ' for accepting the office of President for the past year, and for his donation of one hundred guineas. That the thanks of this meeting be presented to Mr. C. W. Reade, the Treamirer, for the constant attention to the duties of his office during the past year. • That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Phy sicians and Surgeons of the Infirmary, Asylum, and Lock Hospital, for the zealous discharge of their duties during the past year. That the thanks of this meeting be presented to Dr. Brand reth, Consulting Physician ; Mr. Richard Forshaw and Mr. James Dawson, the Consulting Surgeons, for their services during the past year. That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Rev. Robert Davies, A.M.,Chaplain, for the zealous discharge of his important duties uring the past year. That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Clergy men of the Established Church, and to the Dissenting Mi nisters, who have advocated the cause of this Institution during the past year. That the Medical Officers of the Infirmary, Lunatic Asylum, and Lock Hospital, be re-appointed. That John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., be the President for the present year. That Mr. Charles William Reade be the Treasurer for the prese- .:nt year. That Mr. Edward Gibbon, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, Mr. Richard Moon, Mr. Robert Dirom, Henry Lawrence, Esq., who retire by rotation, be re-elected members of the Com mittee. ----- That Mr. John Cropper, Major Axford, Mr. Harwood Banner, be elected members of the Committee. The Trustees observe with great regret that the permanent income of this Institution is found inadequate to maintain the beneficent objects of the Charity, the expenditure of the last year having exceeded the income by the sum of £l6OO, without any material increase to the regular annual expendi ture. The Trustees hope that the public will come forward liberally and offer their Donations and Subscriptions to rescue so noble a Charity from its pecuniary difficulties, and enable it to continue its extensive usefulness. EDWARD GIBBON, Chairman. The Chairman having left the chair, Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be presented to him for his conduct in the chair, and for his continued exertions in behalf of this institution during the past year. SUPERIOR FACILITIES afforded by the UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, and 2, Charlotte Row, Mansion House, London. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires, when the insurance is for the whole period of life, one-half of the very moderate premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the policy : the other half may remain, subject to the payment of interest at :5 per cent. annually;fo be deducted at death, 6r may be previously paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income_to secure, by this atrangMeUt,.. 4 lot his family ; and sitatild he ret;sen*time, , g the insur ance, succeed to, or acquire a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one-half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other ChtnpaniOs. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of £2B 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, £57 Its. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and chil dren, at his death, payment of no less than £3OOO, subject only to the deduction of £144 Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afford ed, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not pos sessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable pro vision for his family.

MILK PUNCH ! THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of, this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenti ng t o hi m the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the Lon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without' any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," • yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age._ LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while be masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy" is an old say i ng and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

Those who have the advantage of knowing him elsewhere than in a lecture-room cannot but feel the most cordial interest in the success of a man so endeared, by the virtues of his pri vate character, to all who know, in such a world as this, the value of truth, generosity, and honour." —Times.

" As site is concerned, the colony of Western Australia is at present most favourably:: ituated for commerce of any spot in the south ern h em i sp h ere, and the object of Mr. Ogle's volume is to bring the capabilities of that colony be fore the public."—Colonial Gazetteer. " We know this is a good book, and, what is more and better, we feel that it is a TRUE book. Every page bears upon it the impress of truth and sincerity of purpose. We have read many works upon the same subject, but none with so much pleasure or so much instruction as we have derived from that now before us. Mr. Ogle's work is a great and valuable accession to the store we already possess of colonial information. To all who have either motive or inclination to emigrate, we can truly recommend its perusal. The map of the colony is the best extant, and the views of some of the settlements are highly picturesque."—Salisbury Herald. " The most valuable, because the most practically usefulpor tion of this work, is that copious department which is devoted to an account of the actual condition of the colony of Western Australia, or, as it is better and more specifically designated, Swan River. This account is compiled and drawn up with so much care, and from such apparently unquestionable sources of information, that it may be safely depended upon as a ground for the adoption of individual views as to the adaptation of the colony to the wants and circumstances of the various classes of persons who may be contemplating emigration." New Monthly. "To those who were either resent at Mr. Ward's motion upon the subject of 'migration in the last session, or to those who have read the able debate which that motion occasioned, the work of Mr. Ogle respecting.the colony of Western Aus tralia must prove exceedingly interesting. It is a compila tion of facts which seem to have been collected with great care ; and if the authorities upon which Mr. Ogle relies be trustworthy, no one who reads this book can entertain the slightest doubt that the Western Australian colony presents the greatest advantages to the emigrant, whatever may be his circumstances." —Morning Chronicle.

To be illustrated with a Coloured Map, and upwards of Two Hundred Plates and Woodcuts. The object of this work is to bring forward the subject of Architecture in a more popular manner than has ever yet been attempted. It is addressed not more to the young Student than to the general reader of either sex, and aims at exhibiting in an attractive ,point of view what has hitherto been too exclusively connected with conventional science and mathematics. The picture, the poetry, the sentiment, and the associations with which the subject teems, are therefore prominently regarded ; while as much of the science as is necessary to critical appreciation and a knowledge of the general -principles of design, is involved in its treatment.

TEN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not be liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the public. The Magazine which bears his name was ushered into the world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the literary talent which he, without vanity, may say it has always displayed from the !beginning. The stirring period in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list comprises men of the highest talent in every department of literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It s er v e d i s eminence of morec and on s edistinctiongu consequence t o would be invidi ous t o se l ect any names ; but to all persons ever so sli g htly acqua i nted with our literature, many of de tliviellreimadmersed,iathteelYoecur what acknowledg ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of party advocacy. The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which, alas ! in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes, therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume the character of a political writer; but, in common with all who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten years, ' FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the course in the " forties" which has • same right onward it main tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and our country. All who are connected with it feel that they have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed idle or insincere ; their conduct in years past affordi ng a fair in guarantee for what their conduct will be years to come. Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks forward, with more than hope, to a still increasing circulation. The number of volumes, however—twenty — to which his M aga _ zine has extended, opposes, from their cost, an objection in the minds of many to commencing subscriptions to a work, of which, without considerable expense, they cannot obtain a complete set. The proprietor, therefore, acting under the advice of many friends, and yielding to several applications made to him on the subject, has reduced the price from £l5, the present cost of a full set, to £7 lOs ; for which he offers twenty large volumes of carefully written articles on all the subjects which have engrossed public attention during the last ten years ; papers on the state, the strength, the relative position of parties. To Conservative statesmen, of such value as almost to be indispensable, and to their antagonists of no small service, as showing the points on which we think they can be most dangerously assailed. Essays of high nterest in the Religious world, on the Protestant Church - - Liverpool Protestant Association. The object Of this Aia'ociatiOn is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all - who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the untaitilated and unadulterated Word of God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the. inviolable sanctity of an oath; all real loyalists who 'maintain the unrivaled and universalartpremacy of the .

This is the direct object ot,ortr PrcOestareksstion, considered in its Scriptural foundation, band national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anticriptural and anti-national pre judices ; who are denied thbiree circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foteign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the:country, and the continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak- English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population, who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it appnints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid, in establishing and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan is so econirnical that a ehildis educated for a year for little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child— or, if not, will you not do it ? Lancashire Lord's Day Society. The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of worldly pleasure t' while the-bulwaike of law, raised to defend them, are no more efficient for that object than the fertreeeea of antiquity to moist the alterations and improvements of modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso htte necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people— should combine in some effort (more powerful than could proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans gression 6f the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many. additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port. • The Mariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and Homily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. Trinitarian Bible Society. The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish fait4ful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of Circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen months' experie nce , it h as amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promotets. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Much good is being done; but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comm ent, eit her gra tuitously or at reducedprices. Society for Promoting Christianity a m ongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains it s o b ject. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Volum e was preserved, an d to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not on l y for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of arc c o nv er t ei d Jews gt church clergymen an d twenty-three miss ionaries . The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle Mission. The whole i ncome of all the above So c i e ti es t oge th er , is the wealthy an d i mportant town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 2 00,000 persons, amounts to little more than £3OOO. Su re l y there are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford 55. per annum• to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of all will chew a vast increase at the end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan. cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information in my power respecting the operations and general effi ciency of all the above associations.
