tain the sanction and support or those Gentlemen who are devoted
comely to the welfare of the Institution was by beeoming qualified

to the Charity. With what success my labours have been emerned

Dear Str,—ln reply to your inquiries I meet appeal to your own
~..fsate:xe, that in every Election my mind has been solely Inca-'
enced by the interest of the Infirmary.
Ot the Candidates for the present Vacancy, 31r. Dixon has been
strongly recommended to me by Sir Astley Cooper. and Mr. Mack-
outdo by 3lr. Travers; but Mr. Scott has afforded me such
frequent opportunities of judging of his merit, that it is my inten-
tion to give him my Vote fur the vacant Office of Surgeon to the
London Ophthalmic Infirmary, unless any other-Candidate, of
whose merit 1 have actually a still greater experience, shall come
'ors ard. I remain, dear Sir, y ours truly,
J. R. FARRE.

of the Committee of the 1,0041011 Ophthalmic Infirmary.

HAPPINESS, " the giy to- Morrow- of the mind," is
insured by marriage; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend-
ship" is a gift from !leaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, says Johnson, " we approach in wine degree of 11140Ciati011
with celestial it.telligenee."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
bnalneß so imperative duty not only to regulate the passions, but to
eleuise the grosser nature from those impurities which die freedom
of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect
of such attention are attributable many of those hapless instances,
which, while they excite the commiseraion of the beholder, should
also immeto him with the fear of selforeproseit.
Luxurious habits will dre.ninize. the bode—a resitlenee in the

dress ourselves, offering hope, energy. muscular strength, felicity;
nor will our advances appear questionable. sanctioned as they are
by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' sueressful experience.

strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional powers.

CAUTION TO FASOLIES,
FPO distinguish the genuine JOHNSTONE'S PA-
TENT ‘VINDSOR SOAP from the Counterfeit Inuits-
bons daily imposed upon the Public, by unprincipled speculators,
purchasers will do well to ()heave, that it is of a pale amber colour,
its perfume a complete bouquet, and mast pleasant in use, possess-
ing also peculiar balsamic and emollient properties, rendering the
skin luxuriantly white, soft, and even ; counteracting the injurious
effects produced by intense solar heat, or cold wir.ds; and is to be
had genuine only of his successors, Price and Gosnell (Perfumers
to his Majesty), and their Agents. All other Santis, under the
same name, are vile and gross impositions, pwsessing none of the

NAPLES CREAM, patroulsed by the Royal Family and the
Nobility throughout Europe. It effectually exterminates erup-
tions, tan, pimples, freckles, redness, and all cutaneous impala-

whiteness; bestows on the complexion a juvenile bloom ; renovates
beauty when on the decline, and sustains it in pristine splendor to
the latest period of life. To mothers nursing their offspring, it is
essentially serviceable in healing soreness, and reducing inflamma.
tion, so frequently following this otherwise pleasing pursuit of ma-
ternal affection. The Patent Nnples Cream is recommended to
Gentlemen as an infallible specific in allaying the smarting Irate- i
