DISTRESS IN GERMANY.

ABOUT Eight Yes ago, the CALAMITIES
}2,Fp4ited by tilt war Oiffereivt PROVINCES of
GERMANY gave rise to a SUBSCRIPTION, aid the Forniii-
tiu,i. of a COMMITTEE in London, to relieve the Distresses
on the Continent.

By the geocrosity of the British Public, and with the aid.of
seri:ral-respectable Foreigners, resident in this coutil ry, the
stun of neatly 50,0001. was remitted to the Continent, which
rescued multitudes of individuals and families from the extre-
mity of distress, and the very brink of ruin.
The Cmpotittet: received, both from Gerniany and Sweden,
the most satisfactory documents, testifying that the•various
sums which had been transmitted, had iseen received and con-
scientiously distributed ; but at no period since the existence
of this GaMmittee, lots the mass of every kind of misery been
so great, in the cc,ontry to which their attention was first di-
accted. Never has time cry of the distressed Germans for help
been so urgent, their appeal to British benevolence so press-
ing,- as in the present moment. Who could read the reports
of the dreadful conflicts which have taken place in Germany,
dhring the last eventful year ; of the many sanguinary battles
fought inSilesia, Lusatia, Bohemia, Saxony, BranCienhurg,
nut other parts ; and peruse the melancholy details of sat:r-
ing almost unexampled in the annals of history, witlout the
must liv ly emotions? Who could lfcar of so many thousands
of families liarbarously driven from Hambiargh, hi the midst
of a sercre.winter ; of so many villages burnt, cities pillaged,
whole principalities desolated, and not glow with ardent
desire to assist in relieving distress so multifarious and ex-
tensive ? •
To the alleviation of sufferings _so.dreadful ; to the rescue
of our fellow-men, who are lierally ready to perish, the views
of this Committee are exclusively directed.
• Many well-authenticated itil!cting details of the present
distress having heea, on toe 14th, on tine 18th, on the esti',
on the 31st of January, and tar the- Ist of Fe,bruarf, Vsld, laid
before the Committee, it was knorediately resolved, in re-
liance on the lifserality of (he esritisii Public, to remit by those
posts Eleven Thousand iliree Hundred Pounds, to respecta-
persons, with directions to form Committees of distribution.

TO THE NO tit LITY, GRNTRY, AND PUBLIC.

A Letter from W. DRAtroN, Esq.' Sinn-Hill, fiat)), to
Mrs. VINCENT, No. G, Davies-street, Grosvenor-square,
London.
dam,
T, SHOULD think myself deficient in duty to
It society and you, were I to withhold my public testimony
to the great efficacy of your GOWLAND'S LOTION, which
I have seen performed by the administration of it in a case
under my own roof.
A young gentleman, aged about seven years, son of a Co-
lonel in the army, was attlicted with a virulent and sore erup-
tion : the complaint resisted various applications from the
milted consultation of three physicians of eminence, and con-
tinued to grow wore under fins regimen prescribed, when a
lady, who had received a cure of a very bad case of Scurvy in
the face of several years standing, by your GOWLANIYS
LOTION, recommended a trial of the same remedy.—lt was
applied under my own invection—the disease gave way—and
three quarts of your Lotion performed a radical cure of a dis-
order which had been of .-iiont filar years duration, and had
liadled the skill of sevora! physicians eminent in their pro-
fession.

From roe conviction of tic above cure I recommended your
LOWLAND'S LOTION to a lady whose face exhibited a very
disagreeable eruption, (cern large pustules, and as One died
away another 4.ppeared,) so in-uch so as to prohibit her goim
into company; a pint.of your GOWLAND'S LOTION effect-
ed a cure, aud she is now free from eruption.

am, Madam: Fec.

17vEARRIAGE is, unquestionably, the most
IVA_ important duty of cur lives, the basis of all our
earthly happiness, and the source of immortality; but many
are 'deterred from marrying by infirmitcs which they are _un-
wilting to disclose : in ali.sueh cases, DR. VEN EL'S RE-
STORATIVE NERVOUS BALSAM is a safe, effectual, _and
permanent remedy ; ur all cases of relaxation, debility, lan-
gone, lowniw of spirits, inward wastings, nervous bead-
ach; trembling of the hands, &p. oppression at the chest,
stomach, &c. this medicine affords certain and almost imme-
diate relief; in thuse affections which indicate disease, or
Want of healthy action in the must noble organs of the human
frame, it 'is also a sovereign remedy: •when the foregoing
symptoms have continued fur some time, a, waste of substance
or decrease of volume succeeds, attended with affections of the
eyes and ears, impaired memory', muscular debility, indiges-
tion, emaciation, and all th;e symptoms,of rapid decay, ter-
minating in the niost deplorable, humiliating, and distress-
ing diseases, incident to mankind; in such cases, when all
°thee remedies have failed, Dr. Venel's Balsam is bk sove-
reign and infallible remedy ; it is, in fact, the only medicine
which can he relied on, for its action on those •orgaus is sire-
eine and 'invariable, safe and salutary; it fortifies without
stimulating, anti animates without inflanAng; it produces the
reproduction of the wasted substa'tde, and invigorates the
vascular system, so as to secure a duel eiaburat,ion and ieten=
Pion; indeed it nourishes, strengthens, and replenishes the
entire body; exhilirates the spirits, and tranquilizes the Mind
'hi such' a manner that it truly deserves the title of '' Pabu-
lum; or, Food of Life and
Health," a title conferred on it by
a young Nobleman, eminent for his talents and literary ac-
quirements, in -a letter of thanks addressed to the Proprietor,
in which he states his firm and unequivocal belief, that if it
were not, fur the beneficial effects of this Medicine, he Would
'not be now in the lantl of the living-.
