Best and Cheapest.—The Improved Chloride of Zinc for the
purification of Dwelling-houses Stables, Dog Kennels, Ship's Holds,

The extraordinary power of this Disinfecting and purifying
agent, is now acknowledged, and its use recommended by the College
of Physicians. Unlike the action of many other Disinfectants, it
destroys all noxious smells, and is itself scentless. The manufactu-
rer, having destroyed a monopoly fostered by the false assumption of
the title of a patent, has to warn the public against all spurious
imitations. Each Bottle of Crews's Disinfecting Fluid contains a
densely concentrated solution of Chloride of Zinc, which may be
diluted for use with 200 times its bulk of water. Vide Instructions
accompanying each bottle.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King-

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :

"157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
"air,—ln gcquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S. GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.

About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons,sand
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
aired the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.

" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLEI. I
!cost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.

" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
:s towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"GARRET FOSTER GILL.

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for
1854. The work is printed in entirely new type from the
Caslon and Glasgow 'Letter Foundry, and has been so greatly ex-
tended. that the " Street Directory" contains 13),842 distinct names
or firms; these will be found correctly classified in all the other
principal divisions, Commercial, Trades, Law, and Court, all of which
are increased in proportion to the great extension of the " Street
Directory."
Battersea, Bow, Brixton, Bromley (Middlesex), Camberwell,
Cambridge Heath, Clapham-road, Dalston, Deptford, Hackney, Hol-
loway-road, Kenti•h-town, .Kingsland, New-cross, South Lambeth,
Stratford, Wandsworth road, &c., &c., are essentially parts of " the
great metropolis," and Should obviously be so treated in any Directory
of London. in the " Post-office Directory" the inhabitants of these
places appear in all the alphabetical lists, so that the residence and
calling of any one can be instantly traced in whatever part of the
suburbs he may be located.
Had the residents in these localities been segregated from all the
others, and each pubtshedoNLY in a separate list, it would obviously
have been impossible to discover the address or calling of any person
residing in the environs of London. •
" The Fost Office Direct ry has long been the wonder of the pub-
lishing world, a monument of private enterprise and ingenious labour
wholly without parallel."—Morning Herald, Nov. 4, 1853.
" The recentness of the compilation in its several departments is
really astonishing. The indices are very numerous, and immensely
facilitate reference to the various sub-divisions of the book. There
is a Street Index, a Trades Index, a Law Index, a Postal Index, a
Parliamentary Index, besides the General Index at the beginning."
—Mornhig Advertiser, November 4, 1853.
"The work deserves much praise for the accuracy which pervades
it, and for the lateness of the information which it affords.—Morn-
log Chronicle, November 4, 1853.
" Altogether this is by far the eompletest Directory yet produced,
both as regards cla-salcation and typographical execution." Illus-

It is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable and useful works
of the age, and the manner in which the Messrs Kelly execute the
task is deserving of the highest praise." Herapath's Journal,
November 5, 1853.
" While this monster volume is a perfect desideratum for the office
and the counting-house, it is an extraordinary specimen of the com-
bined arts of printing and bookmaking."—Mining Journal, Novem-

" The present volume his been greatly increased in size by the
introduction of a large number of streets in the suburbs."—Weekly
Dispatch, November 5, 1853.
" The edition of this wonderful work has, to speak commercially,
been enlarged some ten or fifteen per cent."—Spectator, November
5, 1853
" Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just produced their London Direc-
tory for 1854, and without increasing its price they have enlarged its
proportions to such an extent that merely to look at it gives no in-
, significant idea of the wonders of a city that demands such a work
to register its multifarious contents."—Atlas, Nov. 5, 1853.
" The whole information has been brought up with great care AND
AOCUBACY to the 19th of September."— Sunday Times, November
6, 1853.
"A notice of this gigantic volume, proportioned to its size and
value, would occupy our whole paper—we say its size and value, for
they hold a perfectly equal measure."—Standard, Nov. 7, 1853.
" Already the Messrs. Kelly and Co. had actually distanced the
most enterprising of their competitors. They have now rendered it
preposterous for any other compiler to dream of emulating their ex-
aordinary enterprise."—Sun, November 7, 1853.
" Its marvellous accuracy and minuteness of detail, fills one with
astonishment."— Morning Post, November 7, 1853.
