The House of Commons appointed, last year, a Committee to
ascertain the extent of prevailing adu:terations in articles of food,
drugs, chemicals, &c. The evidence given before is, and printed
with Its report, exposed a fearful amount of sophistication and frau-
dulent dealings in drugs, &c.

The public press had, before this, denounced this enormous evil;
and by its powerful energy since, has succeeded, in some degree, in
checlOng the more daring and open continuance of the practice.
The public mind has b, come thoroughly aware of these practices.
Alarmed at them, and yet scarcely knowing how to avoid them, some
Professional gentlemen in London, who had experienced the same
difficulties as to purity and uniformity of strength in Thugs and
Chemicals, Invalids' Food, &c., combined, originated, and estab-
lished the GENKRAL APOYIINCARIES' COMPANY (Limited) as a
remedy for this gigantic and serious evil; and as a protection for all
classes.

The Public and the Profession are entitled, and ought to enquire
of Ilrns Company—
!. Whit are the objects in view, and the nrinciples of action?
2. By what means will these be carried out?

3. What gu-ranteesare there for the faithful performance?

Ist. The objects of the Company are, to pre; are and an; ply the
Medical Profession and the Public with medicines of every kind, of
known strength and perfect purity; Invalids' Food, and Domestic
Chemicals. To improve the forms of old remedies, to introduce new
from all quarters of the world, wherever satisfactory evidence of
their value is obtained. To sell every article under its right name,
without substitution, and of defined end uniform strength, and at
fair and moderate prices. To protect the public, by a careful selection
of intelligent Assistants, front the dangers arising from careless and
inaccurate dispensing.

. .
2nd. The Company purchases at the best markets, only, the finest
qualities of sound and genuine Drugs ; these are crushed or ground
on the premises, by the machinery of the Company, and there made
into the various preparations; being thus under perfect control.
Such Chemicals as are not made by the Company are obtained only
from the first manufacturers, tested and examined before use, and
where only commercially pure, are made chemically so, by v.-crys-
tallisation and other processes, In the laboratories, under the COB -
stant superintendance of an eminent resident Chemist, recommended
by Baron Lie Leg and Dr. Fresenius. The exact composition of
every article is ascertained and stated, before brought Into use. A.
depot a ill be opened in every large and important town in the king-
dom, for the sale of these articles; where the public may obtain all
domestic medicines, invalids' food, &c., as pure as human means
can make then, ; where prescriptions mill be prepared exactly in
accordance with the intentions of the prescribers, and agreeable to th
directions of the British and Foreign Pharmacopmias. Vic Com-
pany's preparations may thus be obtained directly by the public,
without the risk attending intermediate channels.

CATASTROPHE AT BEZAUDUN

STATEMENT, BY THE REV. ALEXIS MUSTON, D.D,, RESPECTING
'THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PROTESTANT VILLAGE, CHURCH,
AND SCHOOL OF BELAUDITN, IN THE DEPARTMENT OF

DRONE, IN FRANCE

Bezaudun, a Protestant village in the department of Drome, has
disappeared the map of France. A frightful landslip of the
bill on which it was situated took place, from the effect of the rains
which produced the recent inundations of the Rhone an] the Loire.
All the housci have been destroyed; the chapel, which dates as far
back as the Reformation, is now a heap of rubbish, and the school
and communal house have met with the same fate.

In this unlooked-for calamity there has, nevertheless, been great
reason of thankfulness to God. At the first movement of the ground,
the church bell, being shaken, commenced to ring of its own accord,
and the inhabitants, thus warned, as by the providential interven-
tion of an invisible hand, had tine to escape, No one hns perished,
but the inhabitants have lost their all—provision', clothes, linen.
tools, furniture— everything has been destroyed. The crops of
this year are likewise destroyed, and for a long period it will be
impossible to cultivate the ground thus subverted.
In the face of such a disaster, we cannot remain inactive. All the
families of Beraudun have been temporarily received into the
houses in the neighbourhood. But how is their village, with its
chapel, to be rebuilt?
The whole pecuniary loss is estimated it 65,000 francs, or 432,600.
Towards the reparation of this loss, there has been already received
—from the gift of the Emperor of France, 1000 francs; from the
Adminis'ration of the Department of Drome, 500 francs; from the
Sub-Prefect of Die, 100 francs; and 6000 francs are expected from
the fund raieed for behoof of those who suffered from the inunda-
tions ; making in all 7,600 francs, or .C 304, from public sources.
Various sums of less amount have also been collected by the Pro.
testant Churches in France, especially by those in the immediate
neighbourhood of the scene of the disaster, but a large amount still
remains to be made up.
Bezaudun and its neighbourhood were converted to Protestantism
by the preaching of Forel, at the time of the Reformation, and have
continued Protestant ever since.

It is on behalf of this distressed people that the Rev. Dr. Muston,
their pastor, author of The Israel of the Alps, ventures to address
his more fortunate fellow.Chri,tians in the words of St. Paul:
"That now at this time your abundance may be a supply fcr their
want.".

RECOMMENDARY LETTERS FROM THE REv. FREDERICK
MONOD AND THE REV. L. VALETTE, OF PARIS.
(Translation.)
"The undersigned has no hesitation in cordially recommending
to Christian charity the collection undertaken by the Rev. Alexis
Mustop, of the Church of Bourdeaux (Drone), on behalf of the
unfortunate inhabitants of the village of Bezaudun, a branch of the
Reformed Church of Bourdeaux.
" On 31st May last, in consequence of the long rains, the ground
on which the village is built slid down the slope of the hill, and the
entire village—houses, chu. ch, school, and cultivated land adjoining
—has been compiet,ly destroyed. The inhabitants are all Pro.
testants and agriculturists ; and, under Providence, can now only
look to the benevolence of God's people to relieve them in their
distress, and aid them in rebuilding the chapel, where they were
wont to worship God, the school where their children received in-
struction, and houses to shelter them. The sum of 50,000 francs
(2000) will suffice, under the Lord's blessing, to repair this mis-
fortune. The case is quite an exceptional one. Chrisilan charity
will respond to the cry of distress uttered by unfortunate brethren,
and will prove itself once more a reality.
" I invoke the blessing of God on the work of mercy undertaken
by the Rev. Mr. Muston, and again recommend heartily his labours
to all my friends who may read this account, in France, Be:gium,
Holland, or elsewhere.
(Signed) " FRED. MONOD, Pasteur.
" Perim, 18th July, 1856."
"I coraially eoncur in all that Mr. Monod has stated above, and
add my warmest wishes for the success of Mr. Muston in the collec-
tion which he now undertakes. iu the Lame of Christian charity,
on behalf of his distressed parishioners. -
(Signed) "L. VA LLETTE, Pasteur.
" Paris, 19th July, 1855."
Extract of a letter addressed by the Rev. Ctesar Malan, Geneva, to
Dr. Muston.
" I introduce the Pastor Muston to my friends in Scotland and
England, recommending his case to them, and praying them to
receive him as if it were myself,
(Signed)
" Gee va, 10th July, 1856."
Dr. Muston's cause is also recommended by the Rev. Dr. Grand-
pierre, and the Rev. M. Armand De Lisle, of Paris, and other
influential iudividuels.
" I cordially join in the above recommendations. Dr. Muston is
the son of a respected pastor in Val Lucerne, one of the valleys
of the Vaudois.
" In addition to his descent from a race of martyrs, his personal
claims are great, as a devoted minister of Christ, and Author of a
History of the Waldensian. Church.

" Glasgow, 14th October, 1556.
" From the opportunity which we have had of examining into the
application of the Rev. Dr. Muston, we have no hesitation in recom-

worthy of the liberality of Christian men of all denominations.

It has been suggested by highly influential members of
the general committee that the memory of Captain
Thompson could not be more consistently honoured than
by vesting a portion of the fund that may be contributed,
in the names of Trustees, for the purchase of Regimental
steps, which would eventually place a younger Brother,
already in the army, in that rank which was awarded to
Captain Thompson, for the services and sufferings which
led to his untimely end.
