ARMY AND NAVY.

On the Ist of January was published, price 3s. 6d. the
First Number for 1831, of

THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL
and NAVAL and MILITARY MAGAZINE.
Enlarged, comprising upwards of Forty Original Articles.
"Ihe United Service Journal is confessedly one of the
best periodicals of its kind that have ever issued from the
Public Press. No Monthly Journal has yet appeared so
devotedly attached to the interest of the Army and Navy,
or whose claims to the patronage of both services are so
strikingly conspicuous. It is full of agreeable anecdote
and useful information. In its pages we find a faithful and
most interesting record of pasee'ilireVernents, whether on
sea or land, diversified by trian3, chaiacteristic traits of
British heroism, and national gallantry, from the lowest
to the highest rank in the Service. New iinprOveinents
in gunnery, navigation, and the Art of War, are exposed
to view with the commanding powers of a master hand,
while no subject is omitted which could by possibility in-
volve the honour and welfare of our Army and Navy. In
fine, the Journal affords a cor►ect summary of all changes
in the station of Regiments and Ships of the line, besides
an authentic return of the Promotions in the Red and the
Blue. Independently of the attractions it has for' a
military man, this periodical may be read with much
pleasure by a civilian, and we feel much gratification in
stating that it enjoys a very considerable patronage."—

ASYSTEM OF PHRENOLOGY.
By GEORGE COMBE.—Third Edition.
_ _

Phrenology treats of the elements of moral and intel-
lectual philosophy, and of the influence of the brain on
the mental powers—a point of much importance, but hi-
therto greatly neglected. Its principles were discovered
in 1787, and announced by Dr. Gall in 1796. In the
Introduction to the present Work the harmony of its prin_
ciples with acknowledged truths is discussed, with a
view to obviate the prejudices of those who, errone-
ously regarding it as at variance with established
science, hesitate to inquire into its merits. The work
has been written with constant reference and applica-
tion to the moral and intellectual interests wad duties of
man, to the affairs of life, and to the development and
workings of individual and national character. It is il-
lustrated by numerous figures of the heads of remarkable
individuals, and of skulls from different nations. It is in-
tended to serve, at once, as a system of phrenology, and as
a manual of practical philosophy.
The first edition was reprinted in America ; the second
edition, consisting of a thousand copies, has been sold in
face of the general opposition of the periodical press,
headed by the Edinburgh Review ; and the present edition
is off:red in compliance with public demand. The regular
and progressive sale of the former editions affords evidence
that the subject possesses attractions; for nothing but its
inherent interest could have supported it against the op-
position which it has encountered.

TO TrIE PROPRIETORS OF CHURCH'S COUGH

DROPS.

GIENTLEMEN,
TO withhold from Public Knowledge a maui-
feet fact of the utility and perfect cure effected by
your CHURCH'S• COUGH DROPS upon me, would
be the greatest ingratitude, as long as it is an incumbent
duty of every man to facilitate the comfort of hie afflicted
follow-oreaturee.

In the year 1797 I caught a moat violent cold, which
affected my breast and lungs so much, that I could scarcely
speak to be understood, and remained so for the space of
two months ; at the same tinse accompanied with a great
discharge from my lungs, which continued with unabated
force until the year 1809. When, after having recourse
to almost every atvice, and to no purpose, being in con-
versation with a gentleman of the faculty, I told him I
thought there was no perfect cure for an Asthma, to which
he assented, by replying that he had one himself, and his
only relief was by taking frequently some medicines to
keep his lungs open. About this time a neighbour came
to see me, who said he had been equally as bad as I way
then, and he first told me of Church's &ugh Drops, being
the medicine that made him as he was then in health, and
persuaded me to make trial of a small bottle. 1 sent for
one to Shrewsbury, to Mr. Woods, the printer, at which
tune I had an incessant cough with little or no inter-
mission.

In the morning at breakfast I took two tea spoonfuls
of the Drops in the last cup of tea ; and no more won-
derful than true, I did net cough for the space of ten nu-
tmeg after, which would have taken place twenty or
thirty times before in that time. In short, it and a few
bottles more perfectly cured me then, and I have never
been without it in my house for several years after, to use
it upon any ecca.ion after taking cold.
I am now a living witness to the truth of what I have
here said, and completed the 6I pt year of my age the
4th day of Jane instant, and blessed be God, I have as
good breath as any ether man of my age in the county of
Montgomery.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
JOSEPH RUTTER.
Guildsfield, Montgomeryshire, June 12, 1821.
You are at liberty to make what use of this you may think

proper.
