NOTICE TO PAPER-MAKERS.
The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities
and anomalies incidental to the collection cf the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
exposing, as connected wall the adverthement (ay and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so much to the abolition of •the
p )per duty as a systematic attack upon the injustice which it inflict
in individual cases. The association will therefore feel obliged by
any addiition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtaining redress in any individuals
case of grievance.

Subscl:iptions to be paid to Bfe:srs. Prescott and Grote, Thread
needle-street; to the treasurer, T. A. Novello, 69, Dean-street,

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
IMPEDIMENTS OF SPEECH.—Herr
LOEWENSTARK has succeeded, by a system peculi-
arly his own, in effecting a POSITIVE CURE of this obstinate
nervous affection. Son ,e ignorant pretenders, totally inadequate to
the task of annihilating the evil, have resorted to measures calcu-
lated to embarrass rather than to relieve the patient. Hence
Stammering and Stuttering have been presumed to be without any
positive remedy. H. L. undertakes to eradicate the most inveterate
cases.
