DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE
Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. Prout's, 229, Strand

London

It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation
of health, 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 odour of the breath, fevered 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 p dns, a short, dry cough, great thirst,
vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent
pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex-
ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are some 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
adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly in
spring and autumn.

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BER-
WICK RAILWAY.
YORK, THURSDAY NIGHT.—An extraordinary meeting
of the York, Newcestle, and Berwick Railway Company
was held this day at noon, in the Festival Concert-
roam, York, for the pus pose of receiving and considering
a report from the Committee of Investigate, u appointrd
at the extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on
the 4th day of May last. Mr. James Meek, Lord Mayor
of York, who is at present chairman of the company,
presided. There was a numerous attendance of share.
holders.
The CHAIRMAN stated that it was his duty-to bring be-
fore the meeting two reports, the fourth and fifth of the
Committee of Investigation. They were closely con-
nected, and therefore he proposed to move that they
=should at once be received. The business of the date
was of no small impertance. They were in possession
eow of the state of the affairs of the company. After the
whole of their liabilities had been discharged, the com-
mittee—and he was not aware that they had overlooked
any point either unwittirgly or designedly—had come
to the conclusion that the company would have a
balance of nearly eight thousand pounds, which would
he available for dividend. But there was a further
sum due on arrears of shares which had not been re-
ceived. About 14,000/. of that amount was in connexion
wish Mr. Hudson, who stated, however, that he hacicoun-
ter-clairns on the company. Till those matters were un-
ravelled, it was impossible to state exactly what amount
would be at their disposal. The great business of the
day was the appointment of directors, and the determi
cation of what should be their number. The number
recommended by the committee was eight—eight honest,
persevering, upright men.—(Hear, hear.) He (lid not
despair of the elasticity of the company. He would make
,to hasty estimate of what it would yet produce, but this
he would stay, that within his experience there was no
other railway so favourably circumstanced. They had a
traffic line of nearly 150 mil( s. Imig, which west through
a mineral or coal district. Such lines as that to Rich-
mond could never be very productive, but branches
through the coal districts would prove unquestionably of
benefit to the main line. Pits would ere long be opened
beyond Newcastle, which would increase the traffic
on the line between Barwick and Newcastle. People
ought not to be too much alarmed. With good manage-
ment he ventured to say that this line would yet prove
one of the best in the country. He would not rank it
with the second or third class; he ranked it with the
first.—(flear, hear.) It was for the shareholders now
to appoint dire ctors who should so manage the company's
affiit s that the large expenditure which had been incur-
red should be turned to the best advantage. It would
also be necessary to appoint auditors. The committee
did not propose to nominate any individual or indi-
viduals; they felt it their duty to stand in en independent
position. Their great duty was to bring before the:
shareholders the circumstances in which this great
undertaking stood. It was for the shareholders to select
those in whom they had confidence to act in the capacity
of directors and auditors. Ho would not enter into de-
tails with respect to the reports; they were in the
hands of the shareholders; and it was now the part of
the shareholders to express their opinions on the sub-
ject. He should move that the fourth and fifth reports
be now received.
Mr. MARTINEAU begged to ask why the Groat North
of England purchase account had not come before the
committee, and also whether any statement could be
made with respect to the balance of 258,000/.?
Mr. LOVE explained that the account had not been
exam'ned, because the time of the accountants was fully
occupied with the other accounts that day. When it was
considered that they had had to take the accounts from
1842 to 1849 and almost reconstruct them, he thought
the reason he had assigned would be felt to be a valid
one. The committee had looked into the matter, how-
ever, and as the result of their examination they had
stated that a very important error had been committed
by the officers of the company.
Mr. MARTINEAU wished to know whether he might
not gather from that statement of Mr. Love that the rest
of the balance would really Ise forthcoming?
Mr. LOVE—Undoubtedly so.
Tye fourth and fifth reports were then received.
The CHAIRMAN then moved tlisst the reports be
adopted.
Mr. MACLAREN seconded the motion.
Mr. WYLIE then said he had never risen with feelings
of so much embarrassment to address the shareholders,
because he was deeply convinced of the importance of
the occasion which had called them together. As an in-
dividual shareholder be must be permitted to say, with
respect to the committee of investigation, that he was
penetrated with admiration of their ability, which was
only equalled by their zeal. The reports dealt with
matters which appeared more to belong to the regions of
romance than of reality. No man could read the sad
talcs they disclosed without blushing to learn that in this
country, and in the present day, there should be found
men who had ventured on conduct which was branded as
infamous. Ho would call upon them to demand that
expiation, that public autiafitction, Which they had a
right at common law to demand. A production had
been revealed such as must ever after form part of
the Complete Letter Writer. He referred to the corre-
sport fence between Mr. Close and Mr.!Allport.—(llisses.)
From that specimen it might be imagined what had been
the conduct of those who ordered such things to be
done. Mr. Close wrote to Mr. Allport that the half-
year was not long enough—(Laughter)—and that a
a week was wanted' out of the next half year ; and Mr.
Allport most accommodatingly yielded, with a little de-
mur indeed, but not because there was any impropriety
in deluding shareholders, but because his books were
made up, and it was inconvenient.—(Hear, hear.) This
was not the proper time for submitting the motion
which ho held in his hand, but it was to the effect that
legal proceedings be instituted against every one of
those gentlemen.—(Much cheering.) He was astonished
that, with these facts patent, some shareholders were
found still to wish to retain the service of one of these
gentlemen. It would be the duty of the directors to
take legal proceedings against them if his motion
should be carried; but every shareholder had as
much right to take such proceedings, and if from
any party manoeuvres he should be outvoted-
-(Cries of " You won't be !")—he would pledge him-
self to join any gentleman who would insist on having
that reparation which perhaps a clique might deny to
justice.—(Cheers.) He was almost ashamed to hear it
argued that, on the ground of expediency, the services of
one of these gentlemen should be retained ; but, as it
had been put on that ground, he would meet that argu-
ment. It was urged that Mr. Plows had much local
knowledge and experience ; granted, but place against
that the fact of his name being signed to the cooking of
the accounts.—(Bear.) Mr. Wood, it was said, had a
contract under the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Com-
pauy.—(Mr. Wood—" No.") Indeed I was he not
supplying the company with coke P—(Mr. Wood—
" They thought proper to take coke from a colliery in
which I am concerned, but they aro quite at liberty not
to do it whenever they think proper. They took it be-
cause there was no other colliery at that end of the line.")
He (Ur. Wylie) should speak plainly. Mr. Wood's
answer was a subterfuge. He admitted that the
company took coke of him, only it was not under a con-
tract—there was no signed contract.—(Cheers.) Similar
remarks might bo made respecting Mr. Allport; but
enough had been said. His connexion with the com-
pany, and that of all these gentlemen, must now termi-
nete.—(A voice, " No." Laughter.) There was one
solitary "No."—(Mr. Glynn, of Newcastle—" Those
aro not the facts." Mr. Sidney_" Is there any motion
before the meeting." Cries of " Order, order.") Bo-
fore, however, coming to the question who were the
parties in whom to place confidence, it was proper to in-
quire upon what principle confidence was to he given.
The object should be to obtain responsibility, efficiency,
and honesty in management. With these three things
obtained, he should not want to hear of Government
auditors; he would be his own auditor.—(Hear, hear.)
The chief of these requisites—responsibility of direc-
tors to those who appointed them—was, in his opinion,
to be secured by having properly remunerated officers.
—(hear, hear.) lie remembered once, when he had
made some observations which were not quite palat-
able to Mr. Hudson, the latter told the meeting that
he had only 804 a year. That was a most unfortunate
80/.—(Hear, hear.) There should be men at the head
of the company's affairs who would not merely give their
time for one or two days in the week, but make the
company's business their occupation.—(Hear, hear.)
How could this or any property thrive with what, after
all, was amateur management? Gentlemen gave to these
matters their spare time; but their active time was what
was wanted.—(Hear, hear.) Proper remuneration would
secure efficiency and responsibility. Some gentlemen
objected to the expense ; what was the expense of the
last management? The directors had 2,500/. a year, Mr.
Allport 1,000/., Hr. Close 1,600/-5,1001, a year could
not have been laid out to worse purpose.—(llear, hear.)
half the money might have been applied with good effect
to secure the object in view.—(Hear, hear.) At present,
however, it seemed the company were bound by Act of
Parlianent,;and could not have less than eight directors;
and if so, the next best mode appeared to be that recom-
mended by the committee; but if there were to be three
managing directors, as suggested by the committee, they
must give their whole time and services to the affairs of
this company, and have no other occupation.—(Hear.)
There was one point which he must notice, as it hid been
so strongly pressed upon him by correspondents. All who
had moved among railway shareholders must know the
grave depression, if not poverty, caused in many guar-
and, in some cases none at
VI-a by reduced dividends,
all; but he was bound to say, though with much grief
in regard to the parties so inconvenienced, that he
thought the proposition of the committee to pay no
dividend at all was the just one in the present position
of the company.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the
prospects of the company, he would say he ditl not be-
lieve there existed a better property in the kingdom than
this Hee, if it had efficient readslgenlnnt —(llear, hear.)
Only let the shareholders not give their vote.; to cliques
or parties, but throw wide all private considerations and
sectional differences. He looked for such an increase
upon this lin.- as would make it one of the best railway
investments in the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) But whether'
it should be so or not would depend upon the principles
the shareholders laid down,and the persons they now no-
minated. Most earnestly would he beseech them to put
aside all personal antagonistic feelings, and do their duty
to themselves.—(Cheers.)
Mr. °Lux explained that he had interrupted Mr.
