DISTRESS in SPIYALFIELDS.—At a Meeting of
the Committee, holden in the Vestry-room of Christ
Church, Spitalfields, August 3, INN;
The Rev. RICHARD HARVEY in the Chair;
The Onnntittee lament to say that the distress among the Spit:ti-
ngle's Weavers has not yet begun to diminish. Notwithstanding
evety endeavour on their part to reduce the number of cases, and
site relief atiorded to each. the money distributed during the last
week amounted to 41101. 17s, lid., and on this sum 9,000 persons
were entirely
supported. Inconsequenee of the diminution of their
resoureol. they have this week been compelled to make a further
reduction in the allowance afforded to Winders; and a still mote
general reduction, preparatory to an entire cessation of all relief
whatever, must almost immediar.ly take place. if this appeal does
not meet with greater success than those which have been lately

..
made.
The Committee have witnessed with the deepest regret the j
proceedings which have lately taken place respecting an increase
of wages, calculated as they are to impress the public with a con. 1
viction that abundance of work may be obtained at the reduced
prices. This, however,they can positively affirm is not the fact.
No attempt whatever has been made to strike, in order to ob-
. sin higher wages, nor is there the slightest indication of such an
ntention.
_Ths Committee pledge themselves to use the utmost vigilance to
obtain the earliest information on this subject, and to afford no
relief whatever to any person who may refuse work on any terms.

4,2IIOOLBRED'S PATENT ELASTIC SPINE SUP-
-1-1 PORTER is an invention by which the Shoulders of Youth
11
of. both tines inclined to fall forward by weakness in the muscles,
be }whits, or other causes, are kept in their proper position without
any untonitimable restraint, and their carriage most materially im-
vowed. Another quality of the Elastic Spine Supporter is, that
it strengthens the muscles which connect the scapulas with the
liglite.in cases where they may have been weakened by improper in-
struments, or from natural causes. IVhile supporting the back, and
giving extension to the thorax, it counteracts the predisposition to
consumption, so prevalent in our variable climate among persons in
the earlier stages of lite.
Te those young fientlestma will, Rom censtript appltcstion at the
desk and other sedentary employment, frequenfit 'Aeform their per-
sonal appearance. by contracting the muscles of the chest, and con.
seqlently producing round shoulders, the Elastic Spine Supportsr
wilrbe found to counteract such an effect, as, on the body resuming
An erect posture, it restores the shoulders to their prdper position,
sad thus prevents a disfigurement which habit might confirm.
It is particularly recommended to those who have the charge of
young Ladies or Oentlemen, from the age of eight years and up.
wards, the Elastic Spine Supporter giving a natural ease and
elegance to the carriage.
Ali other contrivances as yet had recourse to have invariably
proved infuriosis to the health, by inipcding tile free expansion of the
longs, by which deformity of the chest is frequently produced, and
the health irreparably injured; they also impede the functions of
the 'Wonders' viscera: the Elastic Spine supporter can have no
such effect.
A large astertment of the Elastic Spine Supporters, from 15a to
may be seen at the Patentee's, A. Shoolbred, 34, Jerntyn.

medical gentlemen, both of London and Edinburgh, as to their

fIOLES'S PATENT TRUSSES, of London-bridge,
‘...) are warranted to secure Ruptures, when every other Insult-
ment hits failed. The President of the Mechanics' Institution de-
clared the above to be the only real improvement in the form of
Trusses that ever came under his Inspection. The following
,:rtificatc is from one of the Surgeons of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital:—
" I hereby certify._ that Mr. Coles has perfectly succeeded in
keeping up a very difficult *ad complicated Rapture, on which I.
op rated some years since ;in which case many of the best Truss•
makers in London failed to afford any relief. lirlien 1 placed this
Patient under his are, I promised, should be Puceeed, to give him
a Certificate of my approbation ; and in conformity with that, I
now state nay firm conviction that his Trusses will be found more
efficacious than asy at present employed in similar eases. I have
since tried his Trusses in more recent cases, and have been much
pleased with the ingenuity he lois displayed in adapting his means
to the circumstances of each MAC.

HENRY EARLE, 28, Ocorge-steezt, Hanover-square.
"July 23, 1823."
The Public are informed that about one person in ten of the
human species are aiii:cted with Hernia or Rupture; that the In-
ven or of the above Improved Truss, has suffered almost a mar-
tyrdom to the disease. He had long cherished the idea, that if be
could produce a real improvement in the construction of a Truss,
there would scarcely be a surgeon in this country who would not
rejoice to see it. What must be the surprise of his fellow-sufferers
to be told, that ninety-nine Surgeons out of every hundred would as
soon see a rotten apple or a frosted potato !
The Public are moreover informed. that Mr. Earle has placed
more patients under Mr. Coles's are than all the Hospital Surgeons
in the kingdom. The President, Vice-Presidents and Council of
the Royal College of Surgeons, together with the Honorary 3lem.
ben and Professors of Anatomy and Surgery (25 persons), have not
placed la patients under 11r. Coles's care; since the date of his
patent live years have passed away, during which period Alr. Coles
could never yet find the man who had the power of introducing his
Trusses into (any of the London Hospitals; but he wanted the
principle they appear to have lost sight of, that tenderness of feeling
and sympathy of soul, which ought to characterize the profession,
whereby a discerning Public may draw a line of distinction between
the gentleman and the knave. Coles's Treatise on Ruptures
faithfully delineates the character of both: every family in the
kingdom would do well to read it (sold by Simpkin and Marshall);
these who cannot afford to purchase it, may peruse it gratis ; this
is one of the (kidlike attributes which Mr. Hayes claims as due to
the character of Surgeons (see his Address to the General Medical
Practitioners at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; vide 173, Lancet.)

an is subject to many diseases which human !Akin can neither
even nor remedy : but, when a remedy may be had in so painful
an affliction as Hernia, base and iuhaman must that man be who
can pretend to sympathise or to alleviate the suffeeings of his friend,
and conceal within his own bosom a knowledge of the best means of
accomplishing it. One of Mr. Coles's Patients informed him. the
he had seen half a score persons operated upon fur strangulated
'lnnis', in one of our London Ilospi,als, in a week ; and that
upon the average of one year, eight out of ten persons on whom
such operant:lna hail been performed died: the greater part of
whom, most probably, had a Truss on their persons when the acci-
dent happened. Is it for want of a better Truss than common this
disease is permitted to make such havoc amongst mankind ? If
to, how criminally neo,ligent must that man be who recommends all
his patients to adopt them ? A great number of the aforesaid Sur-
geons are Vice-Presidents or Patrons to the Rupture Societies.
A Surgeon of one of the oldest established Rupture Societies in
London recently applied to Mr. Coles, and Inquired how low lie
could be famished with the Common Trusses, for their Society ? !
Ott being answered, as low as three shillings each, the Surgeon
asked if he would not furnish them for half a crown ? Mr. Coles,
in return, begged to know what was to be done with the remainder
of the Subscribers' money? The Surgeon replied, there were
Charity Sermons and Advinisemen:s to pay. for! ! Alas ! John
8011. is this the age for improvements? is it not rather the age
for humbug ?
Mr. Coles will.gtant a License. under hie Patent, to any respect-
able person in the trade, for manufacturing the above. Letters must
be post pate.

ALL'S DIGESTIVE or DINNER PILLS.—Of
all the complaints to which the human frame is liable, few
are more distressing, and none are more common, than a disordered
state of the stomach, arising from weakness o derangement in the
digestive organs, and attended with flatulence, acidity, pains in the
stomach, giddiness, heed-ache, and heartburn. To remove these
painful effects where they exist, and to prevent their recurrence, by
giving renewed vigour and a healthy tone to the digestive powers,
is the express design of the above pills ; and experience has abun-
dandy proved that they arc eminently calculated to produce these
important results. By taking them a short time before the hour of
dinner, the process of digestion is greatly assisted, and by the oc-
casional use of them, the system will be preserved in a sound and
healthy state.
As preventives of those -severe bilious attacks to which some
persons are liable, these pills are decidedly recommended, and as an
effectual, though gentle aperient, they will ever prove a most va-
luable family nr:dicine. They have also been highly useful to
persons on long voyages, and experiencing a change of climate;
and art they do not contain any preparation of ralonnel, no altera-
tion of diet nor confinement to the house is requisite.
