The reports which hake one abroad, and the paragraphs
"villich have appeared in the public journals, respecting an in-
tended proposal on the part of Government for the continuance
of the i `roperty Tax at a reduced rate, have excited universal
alarm throughout the «aintry. Several petitions and repre-
sentations arc already in progress of signature, declaring the
general inability to pay this tax for the present year. In ti uth,
the tax is now heconle, but too generally, not a tax on profit,
bat on losses, not a tax on proper ty, but on the want of pro-
perty.
It is now ascertained beyond a doubt, that most of the dis-
orders incident to the human frame, manifest and spew them-
selves in the urine, and we have daily proofs that the study
and investigation of that fluid has been brought to the greatest
Ferfection by the intense application of Dr. Cameron, S
Bei-tiers-street, Oxford-street, who is thereby enabled to perform
the most astonishing cures, more pai titularly in cases of ge-
neral d&ility, diseases of the live., and lingering complain is
end we are glad to find he extends his assistance and advice to
The poor gratuitously.
