IMPROVED DWELLINGS for the POOR.
At the present moment, when a day of National Thanks-
giving is appointed, it cannot be out of pace to bring before the
minds of the Christian public some of the efforts which have been
made, and are still making, to remedy the deplorable evils which
endanger both the lives and the morals of the poorer classes of
society.
The SOCIETY for the IMPROVEMENT of the- CONDITION
of the LABOURING CLASSES has now been occupied for mere
than four years past with these objects :
It has built a range of Dwellings for the Industrious Classes, on
sanitary principles, at Bagnigge-wells, Gray's Inn-lane. Here
twenty-three families and thirty single women are accommalated.
• •It has repaired and rendered fit for healthy occupation four houses
• in King-street and Charles-street, Drury-lane, wherein 108 working
men are.accommodated.
It has built, in George-street, St. Giles's, a Model Lodging House
for working men, where 104 persons of this class find a comfortable
habitation.
It has repaired and fitted up, at No. 76 , Hatton-garden, a house
for the accommodation of fifty-eight females of the working-classes.
It is now building. in Streatham-street, Bloomsbury, a range of
dwellings for mechanics and their families, wherein about 411 such
families will find good and healthy habitations.
At Tunbridge Wells it is aiding to raise a series of cottages for
agricultural labourers, of which six and a lodging-housa for single
men are already completed and occupied.
Besides these various works, it is in constant correspondence with
a great number of benevolent persons in all parts of the kingdom ;
who apply for its aid in the building or improvement of cottages, or
the setting-oat of cottage allotments.
In these various works it has expended, and is expending, more
than Twenty-three Thousand Pounds. For the works now in hafd
a further sum of between Three and Four Thousand Pounds is needed ;
towards Is hick the Committee now solicits the contributions of the
benevolent.
The following aro the sums already subscribed towards the house
now erecting in Streatham-street :

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an I Is.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his 'ler-
barY, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read inihis

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
_ Walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was

tclear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause
-_-the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured
OPhthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous fleadach, and Deaf-
-less, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
eine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
uses of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
Oppression ; as In 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
