imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-

unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by toe closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracye al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth,
laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial
cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, durin.7 its brief career, a scene of anguish, from
the consciousness of humiliating infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri-
monial discords and scandals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form such a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised.
Dr. L M.D., has been engaged for 20 years in the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on "Self-Pre-
servation " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main-
tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh on Fri-
day ; Mr. R. Hodgson, M.P., in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in the
Times, was held as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, expressed the
regret of the directors that the dividend had been reduced
to 1 per cent., owing to the depression of trade and the con-
sequent diminution of traffic. In consequence of the delay
and extra expense of completing the Border Union Railway
they had not had for the past half-year the advan-
tage of tha traffic of that line to compensate for
the general diminution in their receipts, and for the burden
that had fallen upon them in connection with their sub
scription to the Border Union. But, notwithstanding the
falling off, the directors had not hesitated today out an extra
amount on the permanent way and on the locomotive stock.
In consequence of the Arnalgamatith Act of 1862 the board
had now to be reconstituted, and the directors had therefore
tacitly to ask, by their re-election, a renewal of the confi-
dence that had been reposed in them. They had now opened
a clear passage by Hawick to Carlisle, and also to Newcastle
by Hexham; they had by amalgamations extended their
territory from Perth to Dundee ; and almost all that re-
mained to them now was to perfect the work they had thus
far advanced, and develop the traffic on the lines they had
opened and become connected with. They had still to make
the Galashiels and Peeblesshire, the Langholm and Ormis-
ton branches, and the Berwickshire and Wansbeck Rail-
ways, but these were works which they might finish at
their leisure and with less cost. Their only Parliamentary
contest still in prospect was the line to Dunfermline and
Perth. To that project the directors were pledged ; but,
with that exception, they would not come before the share-
holders with any new measure for the ensuing session.
The extra expenditure on the Border Union line had
amounted to about £lBB,OOO. They had still the Langholm
branch to finish, seine 15 or 16 miles of railway to double,
and accommodation works of some magnitude to erect on
different parts of that line, and altogether the additional
capital they would require to raise could not be much under
£300,000; but as the expenditure on the rolling stock would
depend on the development of the traffic, he thought, if they
went to Parliament for £200,000, that would enable them to
meet their obligations for some time to come. He concluded
by adverting to the friendly relations of the North British
'with nearly all the companies with which it was brought
into contact.

Mr. KINLocx seconded the motion, and the report was
unanimously adopted.

Resolutions were passed declaring the usual preference
dividends for the past.half-year, and 1 per cent. per annum
on the ordinary stock of the North British.

The following 16 directors were then unanimously chosen
to constitute the new board :—Mr. Hodgson, chairman,the
Hon. T. C. Bruce, Sir W. Dunbar, M.P., Messrs. Balfour,
Craven, Leishman, Trotter, Sprot, Kinloch, Bowman,Muir,
Dunlop, Ronald, Wilson, Donald, and Taylor. Messrs.
Watson and Scott were appointed auditors.
