THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.—A public meeting upon this
important subject was held last night, in the Argyle-
rooms, Birkenhead', Mr, B. Darbyshire occupied the
chair, ,and the platform and room were well filled by
thosplavdUrable to the introduction of a permissive bill
to aid in suppressing the licinor ttatliC. • The chairman,
having referred to the Obhot of the,M7etifig add to the
fearful extent which drunkenness had iioViiiejiettated,
called Upon Mr. J. H. Roper, of the United ItingdOni
Alliance, to address the meeting. This gentleman pro-
ceeded at much length to descant upon the wretched
manner in which the license law protects the public.
Nearly every one of the conditions imposed upon the
publican was violated, and this being so, what restric-
tion did the so-called law of granting licenses place
upoii the sale of inteticating drinks i Clearly, then,
the present system ths,irigff?c,ient., The magistrates
themselves felt it to be so. In the.3`rear iB'.sl,the tiVer-
pool magistrates were so alarmed by ihe ia:PTdly,
increasing number of public-houses, that they requested
the member for South Lancashire, William Brown,
El., to move for a select committee of the House of
Commons to inquire into the operation of the law. The
magistrates of Liverpool were examined ; and the result
was that fife gentlemen composing the committee (held
in 1553) came to a coriciiisiod falpurable to a change in
the law. The town of Liverpool was a iletfect flatbed
of gin-shops. He believed that there were in die folifi
no fewer than 1,584 licensed spirit-shops, while in
Manchester they had only 480; he thought the meeting
would agree with him in saying that even that number
was too large. The chairman had not declared himself
to be a teetotaller; nor was this necessary to assist in
carrying out the object of the society.: A man might
think that, so far as Ire vras individually concerned, tee-
totalisai seas no benefit; biit still, looking upon the one
hand at the miseties of an abuse of alcohoic drinks, and
upon the other at the blessings Conferred
.lip the satire
drinks when properly used, *add any right thinking
man take upon himself to say -that, for his individual
sake, such overwhelming evils should be retained That
was the whole question, and the answer to that question
was an' unhesitating negative. After the speaker-had
concluded his able address, a few other gentlemen
Snake to a similar effect, and the meeting terminated
with a cordial Vote of thanks to the chairman.
OPENING OF IltE "HARRINOTON" DINING Rooms.—
Mr: Robert Child; so long known and: appreciated in
the pufveying and catering line, and who has given such
general satisfaction to thousands, yesterday opened that
elaborate and finely fitted up establishment, , "The
Harrington," in Pekin-buildings, Harrington-street,
Castle-street. Mr. Child, being a practical man of rthich
experience, brings to his new establishment a variety of
useful improvements; and this is the more necessary, as
the tastes of the people, are onward. The first thing to
be observed in such a house is the cooking apparatus,
for it is an old• but trite saying that. goodness sends
meat, Tait that a nameless "gentleman" sends cooks.
Cooks may be even as good, twice '
as good, as Soyer;
but if they hare trot the proper convenience, the mate-
rial, however.goad, is certain to be spoiled. Mr. Child,
knowing this, has got Up, at considerable expense,
the most approved and scientific cooking. ranges,
which cannot fail to meet' the objects in Viet:

His operatives. too, are persons possessing much etpe-
Hence, and as he superintends the arrangements
,himself,
everything is in perfect order. • There is a luncheon-
room, downstairs, which partakes of every comfort, and
at the other side of the. bar there.. are.. smoking-rooms,

Expense has not been spared in fitting up the entire
establishment ' but then, it must be remembered that
great practical knowledge has been combined,, which
renders all as perfect as can be. Prom the central posi-
tion of the "Harrington," the reputation of its proprie-
tor, the superiority of the fare provided, and the
moderate charges, the combination cantkot fail to com-
mand respectable patronage. The "opening day" was
one that augurs well for the future, the house being
crowded during the day by a highly respectable class of
visitors, who congratulated the propietor on his entire
success. In the evening there was a considerable muster
of friends and patrons, who were entertained in the best
style, and who were hearty in their wishes for Mr.

Child's success
CAPTURE Or A MANCHESTER AND T IVERPOOL
HOTEL ROBBER IN LEEDS.—On Tuesday last, at the
Leeds ToWn Hall, a young man of respectable appear-
ance, who gave the name of William Gregson, but who
is also known by the alias of Brodie and Henderson,
was placed in the dock, charged with several robberies
from the West Riding Hotel at Leeds. Prisoner went
to the hotel last Thursday, as a commercial traveller,
and thus obtained access to the commercial room. In
consequence of the loss of several articles of clothing
and other goods from bedrooms in the house, a watch
was set, Mr. Gill, the proprietor, planting his top-coat
in the passage. On Monday the topcoat was missing, as
was also the commercial traveller, who was suspected.
Gregson was followed into the street by one of the
waiters, and requested to return to the hotel ; but lie
pleaded very important business, and said he could not
then be detained. A police-officer, however, was handy,
and the fellow was taken into custody. 1-Te was then
wearing Mr. Gill's topcoat under his own wrapper.
Gregson was further charged with stealing two pairs of
trowsers, the property of Mr. Jewison Marshalli a com-
mercial man, staying at the same hotel. Mr. Marshall's
bedrooe.. was not far from that of the prisoner's, and it
is supposed that the latter stole the trousers on Satur-
day last, for on that day they.were pledged by him with
Mr. Thornton, pawnbroker, Kirkgate, Leeds. The
prisoner is further suspected of numerous lintel rob-
beries in other towns, for he has pledged silk dresses,
mantles, shawls, capes, and other articles in Leeds.
Amongst the property thus pawned are a black silk
velvet jacket, a brown silk skirt, and an Oxford mixture
coat, all of which are wanted by Manchester owners,
who have lost them at hotels in that city. When appre-
hended, Gregson had in his carpet-bag two gold sleeve
studs (also stolen from Manchester). a mulberry co-
loured' Chesterfield overcoat, one red silk mixture scarf,
and one brown ditto, a grey tweed cap, with red lining ;
one black glazed cap, with red lining; prayer-book,
bound in black leather, with a brass clasp ; and a second
prayer-book, bound in red sheep:a copy of " Mar-
wood's Maritime Directory, Shipping Gazette, and
Commercial Advertiser," marked "J. Dolan, Dublin,"
and some note paper and envelopes, stamped " Crooked
Billet Hotel, Liverpool." Gregson stands committed
for trial.
WEST DERBY GVARVIANS. —The ordinary weekly
meeting of the guardians of this union was held yester-
day, in the board-room of the Workhouse ; Mr. Reyes
in the chair. The following members of the board were
also present • Messrs. Smith, Edwards, Abrahams,
Webster, Wareham, Yorke, Roscoe, Pilling, Shaw,
Wood Medcalf, Jeffries, Roberts, and Richmond.—
,
Cheques were ordered to be drallin for out-door relief,
in favour of Mr. Potts, £11,5; Mr. Roberton, £37; and
Mr. Lythgoe, 21.--A letter was read from Mr. John
Mainwaring, the poor-law inspector"; appointing Tuesday
next for the inquiry into the charge, preferred against
Mr. John Bramham, the relieving officer, in the case of
Mary Anno,Nile, deceased, and which led to his suspension
by the guardians.—A communication was also received
from the Poor-law Board, stating that they had. issued
an order for a new survey, plan, and valuation on rate-
able property in the township of Aintree, as applied for.
—A letter was read from Mr. Thomas Hutton, com-
plaining of the, manner in which relief is administered
by the officers of the board, and suggesting that the
guardians should occasionally make a personal visit of
the cases of relief. The writer of this communication
stated that in many cases relief had been withheld from
deserving objects, whereas it was frequently administered
to dissolute and profligate characters.—In reference to
Mr. Hutton's letter, Mr. Pilling said that it was easy
enough to write letters of that sort, and he suggested
that no notice should be taken of it, as the assertions it
contained were very vague, and no direct or particular
case of delinquency had been brought against the officer.
—A discussion took place among the guardians as to the
subject-matter of Mr. Mainwaring's letter.—Mr. Wood
proposed that all the guardians should be summoned to
attend the meeting alluded to by 'the inspector.—The
motion was seconded and carried unanimously.—Mr.
Roberts rose for the purpose of proposing a person to
fulfil the duties of relieving officer, in the place of Mr.
Bramham. He could highly recommend Mr. Benjamin
Thomson as an eligible person for the office, and he also
possessed, this great advantage that at present he was
working in the district of Everton ; and from what he
(Mr. Roberts) knew of him he could safely say that he
was a most proper person to be appointed to the situation,
at least pro tem.—The motion was seconded by Mr.
Shaw.—Mr. Wareham proposed Mr. Lingard, which
was seconded by Mr. Wood.—Mr. Pilling suggested
that it would be more advisable to appoint Mr. Potts,
one of their own officers, to discharge the duties of the
office.—Mr. Smith said that it would be an utter
impracticability for Mr. Potts to discharge the duties
attached to his own office as well as those of relieving
officer. He thought it would be more desirable to have
Mr. Bramham reinstalled in his office, at least for this
week, till the result of the inquiry was made known.
(Cries of " No, no.")—The respective motions were then
put to the vote, and the majority of the guardians decided
in favour of the oppointment of Mr. Thomson pro tern.
—The board then rose,

FINT (IF GARIBALDI'S ENGLISHMEN

SEXTE'SCED TO BE SHOT.

A friend of mine told me, last night, that his brother,
a Garibaldian, is now suffering imprisonment, with four
others, for having been .caught pluuderin'g. Ile was a
brave young fellow, and could have stood anything bar-
ring forty-eight hours' hunger. When brought before
Colonel •Peard• he and his offending comrades were sen-
tenced to be shot. No Englishman, however, would do
this work, and so Garibaldi was appealed to for some
Italians. Garibaldi would not hear of having English-
men shot by any but one of themselves, and so they had
to be imprisoned. It may as well be'confessedonce for
all, that whoever won glory in the Italian revolution,
neither Irish nor English did much to augment or even
keep np their reputation. Little effect on the great
struggle *as prOduced by Britons assisting or Hibernians
'
apposing. • The .latter undertook to support an • insup-
portable cause, and were, very naturally, objects. of
aversion to the people they came to oppress. The Eng-
lish went to fight with the sympathies of the Italians
on their side. They were .received with "rims," bou-
quets, and kisses, and have ended by bringing them-
selves, through quarrelsomeness and insubordination,
into general loathing and contempt. Neither one nor
the other of those bodies of adventurers deserves well of
their country. The most famous deeds of the Irish con.,
sisted in rowing with their comrades. Of the English,
in ill-treating publicans, and scaring helpless waiters
out of their wits. The insignificance of both, notwith-
standing all their talk, may serve the good purpose of
abating the intolerable presumption of us Islanders.
On the 'other lianl. if we look at the French, we will
not only find that they fought well and bravely for the
cause of Italy, under Louis Napoleon, but displayed the
highest courage and discipline against Italy at Castel-
fidardo.—lrish Times' London Correspondent.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE ON THE
BEACH AT BRIGHTON. • •

Another occurrence, which at first was enveloped in
a brief mystery, took place on Monday morning en the
beach, the body of a man with his throat. cut having
been found about half-past ten o'clock under a boat
near Cheesman's bathing machines, lying opposite the
"slopes" at Kemp Town. The neck of the deceased
was cut in two or three places, and no instrument being
found by which the wounds could have been inflicted,
it was thought at first that a murder had been com-
mitted, but information having been given to the police
subsequent. investigation revealed what without doubt
will prove a singular case of suicide, for at about 15 feet
west of the eastern flight of the double steps, opposite
the Bristol Hotel, was discovered a large clot of blood,
and at a few feet from it a bathing machine proprietor,
John Pollard, picked up two razors, one of them in a
case; and these have been identified as belonging to
the deceased, who, there is no doubt, walked from
the spot to the place where he was found, a distance
of ' 430 yards, with his 'pocket handkerchief held to
the wounds. This conjecture is corroborated by the
fact, that his handkerchief is saturated with blood, very
little of which fell upon his shirt ; and Mr. Sowers,
surgeon, who was passing at the time the body was
discovered, said the wounds were not of such. a nature
as to cause immediate death, the vital arteries not being
cut ; therefore, deceased most nrobahly died_ from
exhaustion. The body has since been identified to be
that of John Beagen, aged 57, who has been lodging for
some time past with Mr. Richardson, 5, Portland-street
East, who heard him go out about four o'clock in the
morning, but thought nothing of it till waited upon by
the police, although the deceased never left his bed all

day, who says he was not then the worse for liquor, but
complained of being poorly. Eager got him home, and•
put him to bed comfortably, and called upon him the
following morning. He was still in bed, and then
complained of his head, saying he felt queer ; and in a
later part of the same day Eager called again to see
him, taking him some tea and toast, and offering to
light his fire for him and get him anything that he
wanted. Deceased ate the tea and toast, and Eager
left him, sayinc, he would call again in the morning ;"
but the deceased' made no answer, and only shook his
head. Eager called twice on Monday morning, but, of
course, did not find him; and, as stated, his absence
was thought nothing of till the police made inquiries
for him, the buttons on his trousers, which bore the
name of Mr. Raward, tailor, having led to his identifica-
tion. An inquest will be held this day at the Town
Hall, and the above facts will form the principal feature
of the evidence. DeceaSed bas left a wife, a cripple,

-.Chi the 13th". of geptember.tlio troops marched into
Ho-si-wu, ati4.leit'erivtere received froth' Lot; Prince of

for answers to the letieti they had previouSly seirt-in.
As these officers were newly appennt4lmperial Commis-
siontlas. eidlibe, Messrs. Wade and Parkes; Lord Elgin's
Chinese seefetaries, pushed on to Tane-ehate the same
night (25 miles distant);to 'negotiate a treaty ; they arrived
there at noon the follorting day, and had an intervw of •
eight hours, the result of whicllttslat the Imperial Cm&
missioners yielded in all points, am, c,6,irented that Lord
Elgin and Baron Gros should advance-vrith, escorts of
1,000 men each to a place within one mile of Chang-si-
wan, and five miles of Tang-chau. The confeittion
a'ree'cl upon with Kweliang was to be signed at Tung.-
chat; AfrAilthen the Ambassl.dOrs were to proceed with
their eseOrti to Pekin to ratify the treaty. On the 17th

Bartart, of the French Embassy ;-- and some French
officers, with a small escort, marched at djaylight on the
same day to Tung-chart, to make arrangemetms for the
reception of
,the ambassadors. They observed Votiiitio•
pardon/at en the road ; but it appears that during the
night about 216,000 Chinese troops moved down and
occupied the ground which had been marked out, we
presume, bythe party Merstioned above for the allied
camp. The enemy, though it tnificht be considered that
ati etmistice had 'been agreed upoff, threw up works
on' the glvattnd, and placed 70 guns in position in
iariotis plaited commanding the approaches. It does
nbt appear that Weft' was any intention of marching the
Whole Of our foreblo'Ttrag,eltau, or that there was any
infraction' of the understandinV that the ambassadors
were to come 1.4 P With' only OW men. However that
may be, the movetnent of stibh a forte' of Tartars and
Chinese secretly in the gglif, with a nutnefono and
heavy artillery, looks like' treachery. When Mr. Ivarket
and Colonel Walker, Mr. Loch, Afv, Thompson, and
four of the King's 'Dragoons, who retriirned to mark
out the ground for our camp on the following morning
With a Chinese officer, saw what had happened', they
remenStrated at their ground being taken, and -.Mr.
i Parkes. went bark to Prince Lei to expostulate with
On; at the sacie time sending, Mr. Loch back with
letters to Lord El,giir and gi-r Hope Grant, and leaving
Col. Ifidiser and..3lt.•Thonipsort with the Dragoons on
the ground till' hiS return from the Priuse—with which
party Mr. Bowlby remained our letters do. not state; but
probably he accompanied Mr, Parkes, as he would natu-
rally desire to see all that was to be seen, and' is a gen-
tleman of great personal activity. There is room to
surmise that he stayed with others of the original party
at Tung-chau. After Mr. Parkes had left, the Chinese
were Civilly inclined, to all appearance, and did not
molest Colonel Walker or his men. Unfortunately, an
officer" of the French Intendance came up .with a male,
which some of the Chinpse immediately claimed. The'
French officer resisted the seizure of his beast, but a
Tartar.suddenly cut him down from behind. Colonel
Walker rtlialorigrated in vain; the Chinese pressed round
the little party ;; they twice disarmed the Colonel, and
tried to dismount him•;. so, seeing that things were
looking despeiate, he. gave the word to his men to
cut their way through the Tartars and to ride for
their lives. The Dragoons did so, and, although the
Chinese opened fire on them, and wounded two men
anil a hotse, the whole party got safe back to the
ariny. They had marched from Ma-tow in the morn-
ing, litif were stopped by the sight of the Tartar army
already' inietitioned, which was disposed in an enormous
semicircle fat overlapping our flanks. The baggage
was accordingly hretrght up and packed, and the force i
was disposed to faee the' enemy, though the Allies '
made no attack, and were content with driving in
the Tartar pickets. Just at this time Mr. Loch
airived with the letters, and told Sir Hope Grant
what bad occurred. • He volunteered to go-back to Mr.
larkes with orders, and Sir Hope accordingly desired
bird to tell the latter he was to come in to head-quarters
it once. Mr. Lodi started accordingly with a Itag of
truce, and Captain Brabazon, of the Royal Artillery,
volunteered to accompany him. They only took two !
Sowars with them. ,They bad gone some time, when
Walker and his party were seen riding towards our
troops, and the noise of firing was. heard. And here,
again, according to our accounts, the
.proceedings are
not so very intelligible. "It was evident," says one
writer, "no time. was to be lost." The enemy was at
once attacked, " &c. There can be no doubt but
that Probyn and Fume, with their scanty squadrons,
charged the Tartars, went through them, and
doubled them up completely, and in the end the Tartars
were driven off the field with the loss of 500 to 600 and
75 guns,. while we lost bat one killed . and 19 wounded,
the French one (officer). killed nod 11 wounded. Next
day Lord Elgin and Colonel Crealock came op from Ho-
si-wu to the army, and the latter and Mr. Vde were
sent on the same evening with letters from Sir Hope
Grant to the Commissioners at Tung-chaff}, under a flag
of truce, escorted by 100 horse; but the Chinese would
not receive the letter, and fired on the flag of truce
repeatedly, till Mr. Wade at length prevailed on them
to take it into the Commissioners at one of the
city gates. Great anxiety prevailed all this time
about the missing party, as nothing could be heard
of their fate ; but on the 21st the troops marched
for the Tartar camp at Pa-le, which stretched some
four or five miles to the south, covering Pekin. Sin-
ko-lin-sin, commanded the force, which is estimated
at. 25,000 cavalry and infantry, the former greatly pre-
ponderatin. The Allies attacked them, and drove them
off the ground with the loss of 500 or 600 men, of their
camps, and of 30 brass guns, and then continued
their march till they were within four miles of
Pekin, from which they. fell back apparently to their
camp, about six miles from. the city. The King's Dra-
goon Guards made a capital charge, and killed many of
the Tartars, and•Fane and Probyn dashed at them re-
peatedly and cleared them off the left flank and rear.
The French on the right are said to have done immense
ex-ecution, and their infantry actually got among their
horse and foot and killed an immense number with
musketry and bayonet, besides carrying the bridge
over the canal. ' The Allies lost very few. The
satisfactory result of the- action was that next day
Prince kung, Imperial Commissioner, addressed a letter
to Lord Elgin ori the subject of peace, and conveyed the
information that all the prisoners were safe. They
were carried to Pekin. as soon as they were captured,
and were, lodged in a large public building, where they
were well treated: Lord Elgin sent back the reply
that be would hear of no proposals till the prisoners
were restored ' And safe in camp. and. negotiations
were in that state when our letters left. ' The
position of • the force is ' most satisfactory. The
weather is delicious ; supplies are plentiful. The river
is navigable for junks up to the city, so that. artillery,
ammunition, and supplies can be conveyed to us from
the fleet with ease. , A most plenteous market has been
opened, and ice is, supplied to the sick every second day.
On the evening of the 21st Captain Harris, with 200 of
the 15th Punjaubees, attacked a Tartar fort defended by
a heavy gun and some small pieces, killed sixty of the
enemy, of whom three fell to his own sword, and cap-
-1 tured the fort. . .

The Count de Bartard got safe into the French camp
before the affair of the 18th, and Baron Gros is at the
French head-quarters.
Under the circumstances, there need be little uneasi-
ness about the tan' treatment and safety or any or me
gentlemen who have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

KIRKDALE RAGGED ScHooLs.—The children in
attendance at the Ragged Schools now number 360;
and in the National School, 500. Notwithstanding the
efforts that have already been made on behalf of these
.schools, money is still required. We perceive that the
annual sale of fancy and Useful work for the benefit of
the schools .is announced to commence on the - 11th of
December; and contributions of work and money will
be most thankfully received by Mrs:- Lester, 30, Chad-
wick-mount, Everton.
OURIBLE. MURDER.—A MAN SATURATED WITH
WHISKEY 'AND SET ON FIRE.—A. horrible affair has
just come to light in California. Some time since
George Wilson and two of his "friends," got drunk at
Reed's Rancho, Marion County ; his " friends," not so
much the worse for liquor, " amused" themselves with
soaking the clothes of Wilson with whiskey, and, to
make surer of their project, they poured a considerable
,quantity down his neck, in order to thoroughly soak his
'shirt with the liquid, after which- they set "fire to the
clothes of the wretched man. He remained there,
abandoned, without 'a charitable hand to offer him a
glass of water during his long agonies. Warrants have
been issued for the arrest of the murderers.
THE LATE MARQUIS OF A_NGLESEA.—A statue to
'the memory of the late Marquis of Anglesea, the result
of public subscription,- was on Saturday last raised on
the column already erected on a commanding site in the
Isle of Anglesea, opposite the great tubular bridge over
the Menai Strait. The. column itself, 100 feet high,
was erected after, the campaign of Waterloo, as a mem-
orial of the late Marquis's military achievements, and is
on the summit of a rock 250 feet above the level of the
sea ; so that, with the statue superadded, the entire
monument is. upwards of 360 feet above the sea level,
and is now a conspicuous object for many miles round.
The figure, of colossal proportions, and executed in
bronze metal, is the work of Mr. Noble. It represents
the late Marquis in the Hussar uniform, and its attitude
is dignified and soldierlike. • The height of the column,
and the great, weight of metal to be lifted to its summit,
rendered the raising of the statue a matter of con-
siderable difficulty ; but, by means of an apparatus of an
elaborate and ingenious character, the contrivance of a
local engineer, Mr. Haslam, the figure was safely placed
upon the tqp. Fortunately, there was not much wind
stirring at the time, or the success of the operation
might have been imperilled. Indeed, the carrying out
of the experiment was so much dependant upon a toler-
, ably calm day, that the precise period for the ceremony
could not be fixed.. Owing to its elevated position, and
its own intrinsic merits, this monument now forms one of the most striking objects in the Isle of Anglesea.
. THE LITERARY MAN'S POINT Of HONOUR.—What
ought to be the literary man's point of honour now-a-
days? Suppose, 'friendly reader, you are one of the
- Craft,- what , legacy would you like to leave to your
children ? First of all (and by Heaven's gracious help)
you would pray and strive to give them such an endow-
ment of love, as should last certainly for all their
lives, and perhaps be transmitted to their children.
You would (by the same aid and blessing) keep
your honour pure, and transmit a name unstained
to those who have a right to bear it. You would—
though this faculty of giving is one of the easiest of the
literary man's qualities—you would, out of your earn-
, ings, small or great, be able to help a poor brother in
need, to dress his wounds, and, if it were but twopence,
to give him succour. Is the money which the noble
Mac:play gave to the poor lost to his family ? God
forbid.- To the loving hearts of his kindred is it not
rather the most precious part of their inheritance ? It
was invested in love and righteous doing, and it bears
interest in heaven.. -You will, if letters be your voca-
tion, find saving harder than giving and spending. To
• save be your endeavour twhen no man may w3r 00, against the night's coming
k ; when the arm is weary with
the long day's labour; when the brain, perhaps, grows
dark; when the old, who can labour no more, want
warmth and rest, and the young ones call for supper.—

INFANT-REARING.—Miss Martineau, who, like all philoso-.
phical ladies, has studied the matter thoroughly, says, thal
" in England alone, 40,000 babes die annually; and cne-third
more of that number grow up either idiotic, sickly. or de-
formed." The reason is evident, as mothers, through inability
to nurse their offspring, resort to the administration of baked
flour, biscuits, tops-and-bottoms, or pap. The infant stomach
cannot assimilate such crude preparations, and frequently
rejects them; but still the nurse or mother continues them,
under the hope of soothing the child. Internal inflammation
place—eructations, diarrhcea, and consumption appear—anol
most frequently convulsions are induced which seal the infant's
fate. The Medical Times and Gazette, August 28, 1858,
p. 213, conveys Dr. C. B. F. ltouth's views on the same im-
portant subject, and his opinion of Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, as adapted to obviate the mischief effectually.
Dr. Routh is physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women
and Children. This learned and efperienced practitioner says
"The human milk contains, besides salts of lime, chloride or
potassium. Now, in common with carbonic acid, this salt
enjoys the peculiar property of dissolving cr.rbensta of lime
or chalk. An abssnce of it in the food, as in wheat 'mad, :5
very injurious to a growing child; hence, a child fe.: on pwp
for a time grows fat, but the bones are soft; frequently it
sickens, and severe symptoms supervene. Amongst the vege-
table substances, that which comes closest to mi k in its com-
position, besides being more easily assimilated and strengthen-
ing, is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food.
containing both phosphoric acid in abundance, and chloride of
potassium; it also includes caseine; the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body) and marked debility
have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest
advantage in such cases; and, so far as I may judge from my
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory, from a
knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate. It gives
good muscle and strengthens the bones, restoring tone, and a
healthy, regular action to the stomach and bowels, whether
constipation or a relaxed state of the system is complained of."
