D- ER. GARDNER'S WORM MDRIN
Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. Front's, 229, Strand,

London

It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation
of h^alth, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause
so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so
frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice
or mistake It is, therefore, of importance that every person
should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which
are—disagreeable odonr of the b-eath, levered tongue, particular
heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and
paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the
nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the
bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the
face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, great thirst,
vomiting, starlings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent
pains in the aides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex-
ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are rouse of the
general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well as
children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost
safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, which is
S in boxes
adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly in
spring and autumn.

A word on Christmas sults.

Moses and Son have got a stock
From which you ■ll should buy;
And none can justly make a mock
Of such a prime supply.

Tou'l find these Christmas stilts to be
The best you ever saw;
Though not obtained expensively,
Like costly suits of law.

The suits on which I weave this rhyme,
Will suit you to a T;
Then purchase one for Christmas time,
As hinted at by me.

For Christmas parties you'll require
Superior kind of dress—
Dress nothing short of that attire,
Which comes from M. and S.
May the brief hints which thus I drop
Bring Moses fresh recruits;
Since Moses' Warehouse ranks the top
In selling Christmas suits.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
A Court was held yesterday at the Guildhall, which
was very numerously attended, the principal business
brought before it being the vote of thanks to Sir
James Duke, the late Lord Mayor.
The Loan MAYOR presided, and in opening the
proeerdings said that as it was the first time that he
had had the honour of meeting the Court in the
high position which he then -held, he hoped that
during his year of office he would conduct Linaself in
such a manner that at the end of it he should not
only- receive the commendations of the Court, but of
his fellow ci izens at large.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Deputy BEDFORD then rose and said that he
had a very pleasing duty to perform in proposing
vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, Sir James
Duke; and he thought. that it would be unanimously
carried by the Court, as no man had ever served the
office of Lord Mayor in a better way, or in a manner,
as he believed, to give greater satisfaction to the
citizens of London.—(tlear, hear.) In the first
place, he had to notice the way in which Sir James
Duke had presided over the meetings of the Court.—
(Hear, hear.) They never had had a Lord Mayor
who hail outdone him in the dignity of man-
ner with which he had conducted their pro-
ceedings. The president of an assembly like theirs
had a great deal to do, and there were questions of
greet importance arising, which made it necessary
for him to consider maturely and .decide how 'they
could best be disposed of. They had always been
satisfied with the manner in which Sir James Duke
had overcome any difficulty of that nature, and he
was sure that the Court felt obliged to him for the.
manner in which he had performed his duties.—
(Cheers.) The Court would also bear in mind that
Sir James Duke had also given great satisfaction to
his fellow-citizens at large—a fact which was estab-
lished beyond a doubt by the unanimous :manner in
which they had elected him one of their represents-
,tives; To be a representative of the City was not an
=uncommon occurrence in his ward,- for three Aldermen
had, within his owes-reqdlection,_ been returned as
18-lerrintiiir Tor tbe,City Commons' House of
Parliament. -Still ihe Itnabitious- manner in wilich,
Sir James Duke had -beet] selected by all Finale:li
Whigs, Tories, Itadicale, and Conservatives—showed
that he had the entire confidence of his fellow-citizens.
He (Mr. Deputy Bedford) would notice the manner
in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged the duties
of his position towards the various charities of the
City. lie had noticed that the attention paid by
previous Lord Mayors to the-public charities had
proved a great boon to the pocirer classes, and he had
often expressed his opinion that the charities of Lon-
don were the brightest jewels in the civic crown.
There was scarcely a church in the city of London
which the Lord Mayor had not attended, with the
object of increasing the funds of charitable institu-
tions.—(Cheers.) Not only so, but he had taken the
chair at a variety of public meetings, and had not—
that he (Mr. Deputy Bedford) was aware of—refused
once to preside when called on to do so; on the
contrary, he had on thole occasions, with his usual
z"al, advocated the cause involved in a manner that
had done him the greatest credit.—(Cheers.) He
must likewise remark on the way in which Sir James
Duke had attended to the business of the Board of
Health. At that time, when great alarm was felt
in consequence of the ravages of cholera, the late
Lord Mayor punctually attended all the dif-
ferent committees of the board. Everything he
' could do he did, and the Court was greatly obliged to
him fur the manner in which he had acted.—(Cheers )
His conduct in the justice room of the Mansion-house
would meet with the approbation of every gentleman
in that Court.—(Cheers.) He had paid great atten
tion and exhibited great discrimination in discharging
the business of that Court, and in that respect also
they were highly satisfied with his conduct.—
(Cheers.) With regard to the opening of the Coal-
Exchange, that bad proved a most splendid affair, and
the Corporation had not only to thank Sir James
Duke, but the committee which had directed the ar-
brayegtheemleantetsLoofrte ceremony.

Exchange they were bound to be the more gratified as
her Majesty the Queen, who liked to reward merit,
had conferred on him the honour of a baronetcy.—
(Cheers.) That Court was always delighted when
her Majesty showered honours on the citizens of
London, He would conclude by moving the following
vote of thaiiks to Sir James Duke:—
" Res that the cordial atAl sit.cere thank of this
Court are hereby presented to Sir James Duke, Knight
and Baronet, M. V., late Lord Mayor, for the admirable
intoner in which he has sustained the dignity and up-
held the character of the high and responsible, oceol
Chief Magistrate of this ancient city, fulfilling all its
duties with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
public—for the munificent hospitality displayed by him,
not only to his tolluw-cit;z3ne, but also to the r, pre
sentativea cf foreign Courts, as well as to the distin-
guished public men of this country, without regard to
political party or \raligious opinions, while at the same
time h 3 has not been unmindful of that proper consider-
ation so eminently due to art, science, and literature--
for his liberal paeronage and advocacy of the many
noble charities and public institutions which adorn this
metropolis, more especially for his prompt exertions in
aiding by his official authority the measures adopted to
arrest the ravag.-s of the recent fatal visitation of
cholera—for the able, impartial, and dignified manner
in which ho has presided over the deliberations of this
Court, and for the courtesy exhibited at all times to its
members. That this Court congratulate him upon the
honours awarded to him during his mayoralty, enter-
taining a cor.fident hope that he will long retain the
approbation of this Court and of his fellow•citizens by
the faithful discharge of his public duties, watching over
their important shipping and commercial interests, and
upholding their rights and privileges as one of the re-
presentatives of this city in the great council of the
nation."

Mr. Deputy OBBARD seconded the motion, and
said that it would be bad taste in him to ge into any
lengthened argument on such a subject. Be agreed
in all that his friend had stated in regard to the me-
rits of Sir James Duke, and though there had been
many Lords Mayor in his time, and though they had
all done their duty with credit to themselves and
beneficially to the public, none had exceeded him.
Every man was fallible, but he always gave people
credit for good intentions when he believed that they
did nothing wilfully to offend.—(clear.) lie would
vot take up the time of the Court further, but con-
cleric by saying that he had great pleasure in second-
ing the taotion.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. L. Josies thought that before the Court agreed
to the resolution something was due to it from the
late Lord Mayor. When the Court met on a former
occasion, with reference to the royal visit to the City,
he had asked the late Lord Mayor whether he had
not received a letter communicating the indisposition
of her Majesty. He acknowledged that he had, but
he thought fit to leave the Court without communi-
' eating one word of the contents—a matter which
was of great importance in order to guide
the proceedings of the Corporation on the
occasion. The late Lord Mayor had treated
the letters which he had received as private
information, though they related to the health of the
Sovereign. Surely the communication ought instantly
to have been made to the Court, which would then
have taken the constitutional course of directing its
proper officers to wait on the Ministers of State, to
know if it was the pleasure of her Majesty to postpone
her visit. But not one word was communicated to
the Court, and the indisposition of her Majesty was
first announced to them in the evening papers of that
day. The Lord Mayor promised that the letters
received by him should be communicated to the
committee ; but the Court knew nothing of them.
He was led to believe from the best information that
the City had thus been deprived of her Majesty's
presence.—(Cries of "No, no.") He asked them, it
they doubted the fact, to let an inquiry take place,
and they would find if it was not anticipated that the
Royal visit would be postponed. Be that as it might,
he asserted, that there had been an omission on
the part of the late Lord Mayor in not communicating
to the Court information which was due to it. He
did not rise to oppose the resolution, but would ask
the chairman of the Coal Exchange Committee
whether he was in possession of the letters to which
he had referred, and if so, he (Mr. Lambert Jones)
wished them to be read to the Court, as had been
promised.—(Disapprobation )
Mr. ANDERTON hoped that the chairman would not
consent to produce the letters. lie was of opinion
that the late Lord Mayor had acted most judiciously,
for hail the communication been made at that time it
would have alarmed the whole country as to the state
of her Majesty's health, and might have been, made
use of on the Stock Exchange.--("no,' from
Mr. Lambert Jones ) If the whole qution was to

conducted with closed doors.

Mr. J. Low also thought that the discussion should
be conducted privately. Lut the chairman of the
Coal Exchange Committee informed him that he did
not feel at liberty. to read private letters.
Mr. BLAKE said that whatever opinion the Court
might entertain us to the act of the lute Lord Mayor,
whether it was an act of indiscretion or not, he would
ask whether it was consistent with good taste to in-
troduce such a subject at the present moment, when
they were about to pay the mecd of approbation justly
due to a man on whom the honour of a baronetcy had
been conferred by his Sovereign ? At any othEr time
an inquiry might be made into the subject, if such a
course was thought expedient.
