PROSPECTU.
'This Company is established for the purpose of transact'ng
the ord nary business of a first-c ass d.scount house. Until
witr in the la t few years this profitable branch on c mmer-
cial enterprise has been in the hands of a few pr vate capi-
talists, and a't ough from the ma nitu a of discount opera-
tions in the City of London it is a legit ma e bus n, ss t,r a
joi • t-stock company only one such ompany is at present in
exister ce. This aa, partly be accounted for by the want of
experience in the applicatii nto such a company of the aw of
limited liability, and t' e fear in monetary el. c es that the
pu lic would hesitate to deposit large sums of money with a
cempan - so c( natituted.
This uncertainty, however,nc longer exists, as the Company
referred to ha eon depos tat the p• event time over four mil-
lions of money—a significant evidence of the ,onfidence which
e run is is pr pared to place in such an establishment
when p 4 °peg ly managed.
The Company alluded to have just declared a dividend at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, carrying over to the next
account an amount almost equal to that appropriated to divi-
dends ; while their shares command a premium of £3 155. to
£4 per share upon £5 paid.
In establishing the City Discount Company (Limited), the
Directors do not pretend to introduce any novelty in their
transactions, their aim being to secure a first-class business,
and not to endanger the capital of the Company by taking
undue risks, or adopting any measure that will not tend
safely and legitimately to proniotte the success of the under-
taking.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEIJCH, R.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accorn-
pulled by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

Contributimis are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Dias erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Contts and

Sir,— I cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary
effect I have experienced by taking only a few of your
Lozenges. I had a cough for several weeks that defied all
that had been prescribed for me; and yet I go' completely
rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges,
which I find are the only ones that relieve the cough without
deranging the stomach or digestive organs.—l am, sir, your
humble servant,
