AT a MEETING held at the Egyptian Hail,
Mansion House, on Saturday, March 11, 1837, in behalf
of _the DESTITUTE in the HIGHLANDS and ISLANDS of
SCOTLAND;
The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair;

The following Resolutions were proposed and carried unani-
mously :
1. It appears to this Meeting, from the facts now stated, that
there is incontestable evidence that many parts of the Highlands
and Islands of Scotland are at present in circumstances of the most
appalling destitution, in respect generally of food, and in particular
districts, also, of fuel and clothing ; and that if an immediate supply
be not provided, famine, to a most awful and unprecedented extent,
with its usual accompaniment of disease, must, ere long, lay waste
these extensive and populous districts—that great exertions are
therefore, imperiously called for, in order to meet the extreme ur-
gency and necessity of the case.
2. That this Meeting hereby resolve that subscriptions be imme-
diately commenced in aid of thsir destitute and suffering fellow-
countrymen. That the Bankers of London, and the following Book-
sellers : Messrs. James Nisbet and Co. ; Messrs. Hatchard and
Son, Piccadilly • Messrs. Seely, Fleet-street; Messrs. Smith,
Elder and Co., Piccadilly;
; be requested to receive subscriptions, and
that the sum collected be transmitted to the joint Committees of
Edinburgh and Glasgow.
3. That the following be appointed a Committee for carrying the
object of the Meeting into effect, with power to add to their number

DINNEFORD'S INDIAN TONIC,
for Weak Stomachs, Flatulency, Indigestion, Loss of Ap-
petite, Nervous affections, and Constitutional Debility.
Of Medicines in general use, there are none perhaps more valuable than
safe and effective tonics; they improve and invigorate the constitution
when inapal,red by the effects of climate, long use of medicine, protracted
disease, or the ordinary decay of nature. The Indian Tonic is a prepara-
tion of aromatics indigenous to the East Indies, where their oombined
effects have been witnessed for many years by a Physician of extensive
pr2ct,ce in all complaints arising from weak stomachs, flatulency, loss of
appetite, indigestion, nervous affections, and general debility. To elderly
persons it imparts a genial warmth, and gives a tone and vigour to the
constitution. In alleviating sea-sickness it has been found most successful.
