The PORTABLE FRAME, Invented and Patented by Mr.
Huguenin, is admirably adapted for Private Families, occupying
a very small space, and being particulary useful in preventing or
correcting curvature of the Spine, or distortion of the Chest, so
prevalent among young ladies during their growth, and attlibuted
by the Faculty to the pernicious system of cultivating the mind
without due attention to the requirements of the body.
Extract from the London bledical and Surgical Journal. Lectures
by p rofessor SAMUEL COOPER, delivered at the University of

London.
There is a deformity of the spine arising in young persons who
are growing with great rapidity, especially in females, which does
not depend on any disorders of the hones analogous to rickets, but
on the circumstance of such individuals not exercising their muscles
equally, or on their being prevented from tubing the free and
unconstrained position t,n,l exercises most agreeable to n,ture.
Under such disadvantages, the spine becomes deformed, without
any imperfection in the texture or devel p rent of the bores, and
contequently there is no rickety disease of them. When curvature
of the spine, whi •.11 has arisen from such cius,, is not so consider-
able,' and the growth cf the individual is not yet completed, the
deformity may be removed by letting all the muscles of the trunk
be daily exercised in a free, regular, and uniform manner, so as
not to suffer one set to be put more into actio:t than anottter. It is
on these principles that Gymnastic feats and manoeuvres become
exceedingly useful in the treatment of deformities of the spine,
which are so common in7,girls during their growth.

49, BERNERS STREEET, OXFORD STREET, LONDON.
The House of Commons appointed, last year, a Committee to
ascertain the extent of prevailing adulterations in articles of food.
drugs, chemicals, &c. The evidence given before it, 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 decree, in
checking 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 Drugs and
Chemicals, Invalids' Food, &c., combined, originat d, and estab-
lished the GENERAL APOTHECARIES' 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 this Company-
1. What are the objects in view, and the principles of action?
2. By what means will these be carried out?
a. What go rantees are there for the faithful performance?
Ist. The objects of the Company are, to prepare and sett ply the
Medical Profession and the Public with medicines of every kind, of
known strength and perfect purity; Fool, and Domestic
Chemicals. To improve the forms of old remedies, to introduce new
final all qu-rters of the world, wherever satisfactory evidence of
their value is obtained. To sell every article under its right name,
without substitution, and of defined and uniform strength, and at
fair and moderate prices. To protect the public, by a careful selection
of intelligent Assistants, from the dangers arising front careless and
inaccurate dispensing.
2nd. Tne 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 mode by the Company are obtained only
from the first manufactu7ers, testeeannettiatdemuhndseand examined before use, and

for the sale of these articles; where the public may obtain all
domestic medicines, invalids' food, &c., as mire as human means
can make them; where prescriptions will be prepared exactly in
accordance with the intenti-ms of the prescribers, and agreeable to the
directions of the British and Foreign Pharmacopoeias. The Com-
pany's preparations may thus be obtained directly by the public,
without the risk attending intermediate channels.
31d. Ti e possession of ample capital; the status and character of
the Directors • the numerous shareholders belonging to the Medical
Profession, wl'io will be deeply interested in the bona fides; the high
standing taken as a scientific as well as a commercial body; the war
waged against adulterations an I fraud, which will create watchtul
opponents, ready to expose any defaults; and lastly. the powerful
motives of self-interest ; all these offer guarantees for t e faithful
carrying out and onward, of the business of the General Apothecaries'
Company (Limited), in accordance wish its principles.
The Liverpool Apothecaries' Company, founded and carried on
upon exactly the same principles, having sati-fied itself by careful
inspection of the machinery, st e ff, and general organisation of the
General Apothecaries' Company (Limited), that it is perfectly able
and fully resolved to carry out those principles. and to extend its
beneficial advantages wittily throughout the country has therefore
resolved to be identified wills and merge into it; for which purpose
arrangements will speedily be matured.
A small portion of the capital of the Company set apart for
Live-pool, is still open for allotment.

THE CASE OF MR. L. 'F. GASKII,L,
LATE MESSENGER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT

EVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
.."1 his case into consideration, and beliving as they do,
that it is one of great hardship, have I NSTI UTE D A SU !;.-iCRI P-
'NON on behalf of himself an I family. Mr. GaAill was summarily
dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not
been in the receipt of one shilling having been solely dependent
upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskitl had held his
situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever been urged
against:him further t au having been forced into prison for twenty-
one days, through being secivity for (.ne of the Manchester official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been mast cruelly
treated, as the following extract from on, of his letters to the Liver-
po 1 Journal will tend to show :
With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the benefit of the
Insolvent Acts, end yet retained their situations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took
the benefit of the Act, which involved a remand of four months to
Lancaster Castle. and still now holds his appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms
had been ciimplied with, which oceunied five minutes !
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters. by which he hopes
that an enquiry may be instituted into his case :
From the Right Hon- the Earl of Hat rowby :
London, August 9, 1856.

Sir,—l have sent your letter to the Lord Chancellor, arid called
his atte Lion to its con ents, which seem to furnish matter for inves-
tigation.—l air!, sir, your obedient servant, HARROWBY.

consideration to your case.-1 am, sir, your obedient ,ervant,
W. C. SPRING RICE.

The envelope was marked " Cranworth."
From " Talk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23, 1856.
Talking of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the
Bankruptcy Court, and it was, that a curious case is likely to be
obtruded speedily on tire public; that Mr. Gaskill was recently
dismissed from the office of messenger to the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court; that he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully
given to another ; that he has made a statement of his case, and that
tle Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr.
Gaskill has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one V the best-
natured men living ; that, in a strange disregard of prudence, he
went security for an official assignee; that the official assignee
ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was called on to pay; that he did
pay a part; that he offered to pay the remainder in time, but that
the parties would not wait. and that the Insolvent Court was the only
alternative; that, during the necessary process of twenty-one days,
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson caused him to be dismissed. but that,
although dozens of Bankruptcy officials have been insolvents, Mr.
Gaskill is the only one who has lost kis place by a visit to LancastJ
Castle.

September, 1856

This Company has been established to meet the urgent public
demand for pure Drupe and Chemic.ls, and for Medicines prepared
by the aid of the present advanced state of science.
It was Incorporated in January last, under the provisions of the
Limited Liability Act.
Spacious Premises have been taken—Warehouses, Dreg Mills,
Laboratories, and Machinery erected ; and the Company is now
prepared for business, wholesale ami re ail.
An ;nrpection of the Estab ishment in Ilerners-street will abun-
dant y prove that this Company possesses power and facilities to
perrorin all that it promises, namely—to prepare and siapply the
Medical Prefession and the P..blic nith Mediotnes of every kind,
ef known strength, and perfect purity. Invalids' Foods, and Domes-
tic Chemicals. It is confident y believed that, by observing good
fa,th with the public in its operations, such a Company cannot fail
to inspire confidence, and accompi s far more than any corps of
Government Inspectors.
Among its arrangements may be menti .ned :—lst. That no
fore gn or indigenous Drugs are purchased except such as are
sound and genuine. 2nd. 'I hat they are crushed or ground upon
the premises. 3rd. That all commercial Chemicals are to-ten or
analyzed before they are sold for medicinal purposes. 4th. That the
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Laboratories are under the constant
superintendence of a resident eminent scientific Chemist, recom-
mended by Baron Liebie and Dr. Fresenius, as eminently qualified
for those duties. sth. That the preparations ordered by the Colie,zes
in their Pharmacopwias, are made strictly in accordance with their
directions.

The Directors have taken measures to ascertain the views of the
Profes,lon ; an i they are gratified to find that this enter prise has
elicited the cordial approbation of a very large number of Practioners
of Great Britain; they receive daily as,uranees of support, and the
Company is already doing a very satisfactory amount of business.
The first issue of the Capital of the Company was readily sub-
scr bed, alhough wry little publicity was given to the de-i0 ; and
a considerable stock, together with Buildings, Plant, Machinery.
Utensils, and the Fittings of a spacious Shop for dispensing and
retail, with all preliminary expenses, and advvrtisements, have been
paid for, leaving a portion of the Capital in hand sufficient fur the
business on a certain scale.

I was always, however, contemplated by the Directors to make
the premises in Berners.street the Manufacturing, and Central
Wholesale Depot; and to open Branches to suit the convenience of
the public in various parts of the Metropolis, and in the principal
Provincial Cities and Towns of Great Britain, for the sale of their
drugs, and preparations, and for dispetning prescriptions. This
invention is strengthened, since many profitable busmesses, already
established, have been offered to the Company, under the impres-
sion that it must command a very large trade founded on public
confidence.

}iy the establishment of such branches, the company will not
only secure tit • profits of a wholesale arid manufacturing business,
but will add thereto the larger proportionate profits of the retail—
aud, moreover, it will be able to conduct its branch E,tabdsliments
at tar less expense than individuals, since all prepara, ions and com-
pounds will be prepared at the central laboratories, in Berner's-
street.

The public Press has added another to the many important ser-
rices it has rendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalence of adulteration of Drugs and Chemicals employed in
Medicine, and, demanding a remedy for this abuse, The Times, of
August 25, observes:—
" It requires but a slight portion:of common sense to understand
how important an ingredient of medical success the purity of drugs
must be. Drugs are the executive of the medical man, and, therefore,
with bad or inefficient drugs he acts like a paralysed man, whose
limbs refuse to obey him. The physician may have the most exact
idea in his bead of the amount of drug power which he wants to
apply to the patient's disease; but if his drug deceives him, and con-
tains less of this virtue than it professes to do, and perhaps even
that injured by some foreign admixture, his whole estimate is
affected, and the process becomes a piece of guesswork. As one
witness says before the Committee on Adulteration, 'The mischief
of defective medicines is not always immediate. It frequently hap-
pens that a person, from taking a defective drug, increases the dose
in order to produce the desired effect. Then, upon taking the same
prescription to be made no. when the genuine orug is used the per-
son is almost poisoned.' It is therefore with much concern e learn
from the evidence given before the Committee on Adul oration that

the adulteration of drugs, though considerably reduced of late years,
stt 1 goes on to a large amount. Nor is this concern lessened when
we hear that the commonest and the most powerful drugs are both
subject to this adulteration. There must be numberless critical
easesi of di ease in which the correctness of the strength of an
opiate must make all the difference of life and death; )et we are
told that 19 out of every 24 samples of opium are adulterated."
Tee Directors of the GK NEIL.% L APOTHECARIES' COMPANY
(limited; consider that the reme y for the evil thus exposed will be
found in their plan. and that public confidence must be obtained by
a large and respectable Company. able by its constitution and
arrangements, to meet the demand for putty in medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro.
fession and the public.
Upon these considerations it was resolved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of the Sh ,reheiders, held at 49, Berners-street,
August 28, 856, that the Ci;.ital of the Company should be at
once increased by the issue of further Shares, at the discretion of
the Directors, for the pu pose of extending the business of the
Comp my ; such Shares to b issued at par, namely, XlO each.
The Directors therefore announce, that they are preps, ed to
receive appbcations for such shares.
