AT a MEETING held at the Egyptian Hall,
Mansion House, cn Saturday, March 11, 1837, in behalf
of the DESTITUTE in the HIGHLANDS and ISLANDS o:
SCOTLAND;.
AND ;
The Right Hcn. 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 Highland:.
ind 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 suppl‘
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., Cornhill ; be requested to receive subscriptions, and
that the sum collected be transmitted to the joint Committees of
Edinburgh and Glasgow.

WR A Y'S CHALYBEATE GERMAN
SEIDLITZ POWDERS,, preparea only by M. 0.
WRAY, Chyrnist, &c., No. 118, Holborn-hill, and sold in boxes (contain-
ing powders for 12 glasses) at 2s. each. The various effects
_produced by
the operation of Seidlitz Powders depend entirely on the different modes
of preparation. The Chalvbeate German Powders now recom-
mended by the proprietor are brought to that state of perfection by which
the most uniform results will be experienced, and in conjunction with
their pre-erninence over all other aperient medicines, the proprietor flat-
ters himself the low price at which they are DOW prepare.o (being less than
ooe-half usually charged by druggists for the common Seidlitz powders)
will secure to tle m a decided preference.
Where also may be had, Ginger Beer Powders, 6d. per dozen ; three
dozen, Is, 3d. Soda Water ditto, sd. per dozen, three dozen, Is., Common
Schnitz, Is. per dozen ; three dozen, Bs. 6d. Lemonade ditto, (id. per

N.B. Be careful to have the ig Chalybeate Getman Seidlitz Powders,"
prepared by M. 0. WRAY, No. 118, Holborn-hill, as no others are
genuine.
We have no hesitation in stating, in reference to Mr. K 0. Wray's
advertisement in another column, that we have tried his Seidlitz and
Soda Powders, and found them to be of excellent quality. His Seidlitz
Powders are indeed the best we have ever met with, and combine tonic
and aperient qualities in admirable perfection."—Morning Advertiser,
July 3 1, 1534.

CUBEBS, with • SARSAPARILLA, &c.—
STIRLING REES' ESSENCE.—The vast and increas-
ing sale, from the recommendation of the highest medical characters,
as well as those who have experienced its salubrious and beneficial effects,
proves its great success and superiority over every other preparation, in
being the most effectual remedy ever discovered for the cure of stric-
tures, pains in the loins and kindeys, heat, irritation, and other disor.
tiers of the urinary organs, frequently removing every symptom of
disease in three or four days. It contains, in a concentrated state, all the
efficacious parts of the cubeb, chemically combined with sarsaparilla, and
other choice ingredieats, which render it invaluable to those afflicted with
syphilitic symptoms, scorbutic eruptions, and all diseases arising from an
impure state of the blood. In case of debility and nervous depression of
spirits, it has been taken with the most decided benefit. A regular per-
severance in its use has invariably been found to improve digestion, and
give muscular strength, energy, and vigorous health to the whole frame.
The most delicate female may take it with perfect safety.
Prepared only by J. W. Stirling, 86, High-street, Whitechapel„ from whom it can be sent to any pert of the world, upon enclosing the amount,
in bottles at 4s. 64.1.. 10s., slss , and 30s. each.
The Proprietor being apprised of several unprincipled medicine venders
who, when applied to for this remedy, substitute, under the name of Sar-
saparilla Cubebs, &c., an inferior article of their own make, feels it his
duty to say that it is absolutely necessary before purchasing to see the
name of J. W. Stirling" is engraved on the Government stamp.
