ON CHLORATE OP POTASSA. AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD,

DR. J. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(1836, will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared py passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising, the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla.-56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents In the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

COD LIVER OIL. The Finest Imported this Season.

THIS VALUABLE MEDICINE having of late years

sively prescribed by the most eminent practitioners both in
town and country, Mr. Keating can with the greatest
confidence recommend this Oil as being perfectly pure, nearly
tasteless, and free from adulteration, having been analysed,
reported on, and recommended by Prof. Taylor, of Guy's and
St Thomas's Hospitals, Dr. Scott. M.D., L.R.C.P., F.L.S.,
&c., and Dr. Edwin Payne, M.D., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., who,
in the words of the late Dr. Pereira, says that "The best Oil
is that which is most devoid of colour, odour, and flavour, cha-
racters this will be found to possess, being purely of hepatic
origin, a point of great weight with regard to its therapeutic
value.

Capt. A. Farquhar and Capt. Sir J. D. Hay have been
awarded the good service pensions vacant by the removal
of Cap'. H. Broadhead and Capt. J. L. Stokes from the
Captains' list.
In the new Navy Estimates, just published, the sum of
£55,438 will be required to be voted for carrying out the
different works now in progress for the enlargement and
extension of Chatham dockyard during the ensuing year,
which amount is exclusive of the sum required for the ordi-
nary operations connected with the dockyard. The forma-
tion of the new basins, docks, factories, and other buildings
intended to be constructed at Chatham, the whole covering
an additional space of 300 acres, will involve an outlay of
£815,000 beyond the sums already expended, but the sum
of £27,000 only is taken in the estimates for the ensuing
year. From this it appears that the work will be spread
over a number cf years. On the occasion of the recent
visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to Chatham it was
decided to erect more powerful and costly machinery
for carrying on the works connected with the build-
ing of the iron and iron-clad ships, and accordingly
a sum of £16,318 is taken in the estimates for
new machinery, exclusive of £1,560 for improved ma-
chinery in the ropemaking department of the establish •
ment. There is also an item of £1,090 for preparing the
foundations for the new machinery, and the sum of £9OO
will be required for the new 25-ton crane which the Lords
of the Admiralty directed to be placed between Nos. 3 and
4 docks. The expense of dredging and clearing the harbour
of mud is again large, the sum of £1,500 being required for
that work during the year. There is a decrease in the num-
ber of established workmen, the number being 1,467,
against 1,544 last year.
