INFIDELITY INEXCUSABLE. ONE GOD :
Infinite in Power, Wisdom, and Goodness. Proved by His
Works and by His Word, with the necessary inferences there-
from. By BARNETT BLAKE.
"This is a very well-written, cl,sely-reasoned, and able argu-
ment. It is altogether highly creditable to the piety and ability
of the writer, and will well repay an attentive perusal. '—liforning
Poet.
"In its rapid survey of the wonders of Nature, it gives evidence
of a well-stored mind, whilst the inferences which the author
deduces, both from the marvels of the universe and the doctrines
of Revelation, are expressed in terms which leave no doubt of the
purity of his intentions and the sincerity of his advocacy."—
Atheneum.
" it establishes the existence of the Deity in the first instance
by proofs independent of Revelation, and subsequently by evidence
derived from Holy Writ, and thus demonstrates what Ds title im-
plies, that the infidel is without excuse.' "—John Bull.
"A body of evidence so convincing and complete that it may
truly be said t) leave infidelity inexcusable.' "—Liverpool

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.--.
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the
first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for
the Gout was considered a romance ; but now, the efficacy and
safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited
testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public
opinion proclaims BLAIR'S PILLS as one of the most important
discoveries of the present age; and in testimony of its efficacy,
jc,oN. J. GILES, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot, says:—" Having
suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was induced to try your
Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my testimony to their efficacy."
Mr. WILLIAM COURTNEY, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says :
"Having suffered much from Gout, I had resort to Blair's Pills.
and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills
ought really to be known all over the world."
Mr. W. TAYLOR, bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes :
"Wm. Penny, of anon, Wilts, was afflicted with Rheumatism,
to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot; he was
recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly
procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, from which he derived so much
benefit, that he sent for another, which effected a complete cure."
GARRETT FOSTER Gum., Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London.
writes :—" Whenever I feel any symptoms of Gout approaching,
I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valua-
ble that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should
certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that came. Moreover, I
rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suffered ; but
on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards
its improvement."
These Pills require neither attention nor confinement, and are
certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part ; and in
consequence of the great and increasing demand for this useful
Medicine, the Proprietor has obtained permission from Her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners of Stamps to have the name and addressor
" THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the
Government Stamp, affixed to each lies of the Genuine Medicine!
