vents it from falling oil or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—
produces a thick and luxuriant growth—and makes it beautifully

PROSPECTUS.
Application was made to the Legislature in the last Sesdon of Par-
liament for an Act to incorporate a Company under the above
title, and the Bill was carried through the second reading of the
House of Commons by a majority of three to one ; 19G Members
voting in favour of the Bill, and 65 against it.
Subsequently the Bill with ten other Bills relating to the supply
of water to the Metropolis were all referred to the same Committee
of the House of Commons; but owing to the Bill being taken up
the very last in order, it was not until Tuesday, the 14th of June
last, that the proceedings upon it could be commenced before the
Committee. In consequence of this delay the proceedings could not
be completed before the House of Commons was dissolved.
It is, therefore, now requisite to renew the application to the
Legislature in the next Session of Parliament ; but the valuable
evidence given before the Committee in the last Session in favour of
the undertaking andthe Bill, although from want of time it could
not be completed, has been published by order of the House of Com-
mons in a Blue Book, for the use of Parliament and the public, and
cannot fail materially to facilitate the early obtaining of the powers
sought by the present application.
The object of this company is to supply, at a cheap rate, the inha-
bitants of the cities of London and Westminster, and the boroughs of
St. Marylebone and Finsbury, and the following places intermediate
between those and the source of supply,—namely. Barnet, Bushey,
Edgeware, Elstree, Finchley, Hadley, Hampstead, Harrow on the
Hill, Harrow Weald. Hendon, Kingsbury, Mill Hill, Pinner, Stan-
more, Sudbury, Totteridge, Watford, Whetstone, Willesdem—with
pure soft Spring Water, distributed through pipes constantly charged;
so that, by the mere turning of a tap, it may be got fresh from the
mains, without the intervention of a cistern, even in the top stories
of the highest houses.
The water will be procured at Bushey Meadows, near Watford, at
the foot of a vast range of chalk hills, through which an enormous
volume of subterranean spring water at present escapes in under-
ground currents to the sea. In 1840, Mr. Robert Stephenson, the
eminent engineer, after having suede a series of experiments and
observations on a shaft and borings th& had been sunk in the
chalk in this locality, by Mr. Robert Paten, for the purpose of demon-
strating how copiously spring water can be thus obtained for tile
supply of the Metropolis, reported, as his conclusion; " I ant perfectly
convinced of the .feasibility of the. proposed plan, as tar as regards
quantity ;" a conclusion that subsequent experience and iuvestiga-
gation have confirmed,
Professors Graham, Miller, ant Hoffman, the eminent Chemists
appointed in 1851 by Government as a Commission to consider the
chemical quality of the supply of wat.er to the metropolis, when
alluding to water from the cnalk intended to be supplied from
Bushey Meadows, thus express themselves in a report addressed to
the then Home Secretary of State. and dated the 17th of June last
year:—" The inhabitants of London appear to have within their
reach, in theso chalk strata, a supply of water, which is asserted,
on good authority, to be inexhausabie, and which may be considered
as everywhere of an uniform composition and quality. * * *
It contains absolutely nothing of organic origin capable of further
alteration or decomposition, and is therefore wholly unobjectionable,
on the ground of organic constituents. Its clearness and brilliancy
also appear perfect, from the complete absence of suspended matter,
and are highly attractive. Possessing at all seasons the mean ten-
t erature of the year, the same water has an agreeable coolties and
freshness, which might certainly be preserved in a great degree by
Proper means of conveyance and distribution. * The only other
quality desired in a town supply was softness. * The soften-
ing operatien, by the use of lime" (proposed by Professor Clark
of Aberdeen, which frees the water from 2 grains of chalk per pint,
or 1 ton per million gallons, without leaving anything else in the
water in the place of the chalk,) " is applicable in all seasons to the
spring water, which indeed adapts itself with singular felicity to
that process. * * * The chalk spring waters can thus be
commanded with certainty under 3 degrees of hardness. which
is probably the extreme limit attainable anywhere in England
for a great supply." The water of the present companies is
reported by the same authority to be about 14 degrees of hardness.
" The chalk spring water after being softened," resume the learned
Commissioners, "is an extremely pure water. It appears to be con-
derably r uperior even to the soft water from the streams of the Surrey
sands. The chalk water alone is uniform in its excellence at all
times, the sources of it lying beyond the influence ofereather or sea-
son In the judgment of the Commissioners,- this softened chalk
water is entitled, from its chemical quality, to a preference over all
others for the future supply of the metropolis."
At Bushey Meadows tile subterranean spring' water can be abun-
dantly procured at a natural elevation of 130 feet above the level of
the Thamesin London. This water, after being softened, would be
pumped through pipes buried in the ground into reservoirs so covered
as to maintain the uniform temperature of the water at all seasons.
and situated on Stanmore Common at a sufficient elevation to cause
by gravity the water to flow through! pipes into the district nfuued,
and to rise to all the highest grounds and buildings.
At a charge of from one-third to one .half less than the charges of
the Grand Junction and West Middlesex Water Companies, a divi-
dend of 10 percent would be returned upon the capital expended to
carry out the undertaking.
The well-attested superiority of the quality of the water, the prim•
tically unlimited quantity at command, and the simple and cheap
nature of the works required to procure and distribute it, unite to re-
commend the undertaking to capitalists as the mean; for making a
safe and profitable investment. The suburban places already named
contain 60,000 inhabitants, entirely unsupplied by any Company. and
greatly in want of water ; while the urgent demand that exists in
the Metropolis for so pure and so cheap a water as that now pro-
posed to be supplied is obvious to every one. The Thames water,
even when procured above where the tide flows, and after filtration,
and'when taken direct from the pipes of the consumers betel'e
decaying any cistern. has been proved to contaiti much dead and
animal and vegetable matter, an average of 18 different
species of living animalcules, besides nearly the same number of
various kinds of fungi and other plants and organisms in every half
gallon of such water, to say nothing here of the number that there
is of each species. The spring water from Watford, after most
careful examination, has been found to be quite free from these con-
taminatioes ; and while the placing at a cheap rate a constant
supply of so pure a water within the reach of the inhabitants of the dis-
tracts of the Metropolis, and the ' unsupplied places before named,
cannot fail to confer an important and lasting benefit upon them, at
the same time it must tend to stimulate in the most effective man-
ner the improvements so muds required in the water supply of the
other districts. Thus the undertaking has a claim to the support of
every inhabitant of this great Metropol!s.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of YAW-
batvh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have roduced more misery in Youth degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
egaliy qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Alert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of thtse

It is only requisite to advert to the extraordinary discoveets of
gold in Australia, with the immediate consequences now resulting
therefrom, to account for the necessity for an addition to the existing
banking accommodation there, to meet as well the great and grow-
ing wants within thetliffeient colonies of Australia, as the demands
arising from their largely extended and rapidly increasing inter-
course with the rest ot the world.
The fact that there are now only the same number of established
banks in England having their field of operations in Australta, that
existed many years back, when the population there was not one-
fourth, nor the commerce between the two countries one-tenth cf
what it is at present, sufficiently est tblislies the necessity above
alluded to, of an immediate addition to these indispensable auxiliaries
to the transaction of mercantile and other business.
In proof of the success that has attended the operations of the
two princip-1 Banks here referred to— that of Australasia, and the
Union Bank of Australia—it is enough to mention, that the present
market price of the 401, shares of till 1'0;1E404-about 801., and the
251. shares of the latter6BL •
The great extension that has taken place both in the internal and
external trade of India, since the termination ef the East India Com-
pany's monopoly, would alone warrant the introduction there of
greater Banking facilities, but when the effect of the railways now
iu progress of construction in India, on its traffic, consumption and
production, are also taken into consideration, together with the
great interchange of commodities that is about to take place between
it and Australia, it is evident that the formeroffers a field for the em-
ployment of capital in banking, only surpassed by the latter country.
This Bank will be managed in London by a Board of Directors,
whose business connexion, practical experience of Australia and
India, acquired chiefly from long residents there, and the stake they
will be required to hold in the Stock of the Bank, will afford the
strongest guarantee for the mode in which its affairs will be conducted.
To afford the most ample protection to the shareholders, the fol-
lowing express proylsions will be introduced into the deed consti-
tuting the Company-Ist. No advances shall be made on lands,
growing crops, or other inconvertible securities of any kind. 2d.
The issue of notes payable on demand, shall in no case exceed in the
aggregate, one-half of the paid-up capital of the Bank, unless by
the express consent of the Proprietary, in a Meeting specially
assembled for that purpose. 3d. If, at any time, and from any
combination of unforeseen circumstances, as much as one-quarter
of the capital should' be lost, it shall be incumbent en the Directors
to announce that fact specially to the Shareholders, and to convene
a meeting to decide on the measures to be adopted in consequence
thereof.
The accounts shall be audited by two public and paid accountants,
named and appointed by the shareholders, to whem their report
shall be submitted at, or before each half-yearly meeting.
In order to avoid the evils that experience has shown to result
from the pressure of local influence on colonial boards, there will be
no local boards of directers, but the business in Australia and India
will be conducted by experienced, responsible, and trustworthy offi-
cers, from whom ample security will be required, and whose ma-
nagement will be under the constant supervision of competent in-
spectors, all being appointed by, and alienable to, the London
Board.
It is intended to commence business at the outset in Sydney, Mel-
bcurne, and Adelaide, and in Calcutta, and to open other branches
only as circumstances may render desirable.
A bank, based and worked out these principles—placed under the
salutary restrictions here specified—and having such fruitful and ex-
tending fields for the employment of its capital as Australia and
India, cannot, it is believed, fall in its legitimate objeCts.
In the event, contrary to expectation, of a charter not being ob-
tained, no operations will be commenced without the express con-
• sent of the shareholders; and it shall be optional with them to com-
mence business without a charter, or to have the deposit returned,
less the preliminary expenses.
A large portion of the shares are already subscribed for by the Di-
rectors and promoters of the undertaking, and responsible parties
desirous of obtaining an interest in the remainder of the stock, arc
invited to forward their applications, in the form annexed, to the
Provisional Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 62,
Moorgate-street, or to the Brokers of the Company, Messrs. 'lichens

The following testimonial is another proof of therireatifftettei
of this medicine

" Winehmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.
" Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothittz to equal it.
"I am, Sir, yours respectfuPßolly,
THOMAS VINCE.
