TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND,
LONDON.
" No. 208, Piccadilly, October 19, 1847.

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was soreliatllicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which indaced Lai to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. DT,ring
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
. . . _

" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
"MICHAEL NASMYTII."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.

SECRET MALADIES.
Treatment of CH. ALBERT, 31. D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals or
Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
national rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for
a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasoas
and in all climates.

STATE or TRADE.—The condition of the hosiery
manufacture in all the branches, whether] silk or cotton,
is extremely depressed. The silk glove branch seems
to be in rather the worst state, many of the hands hav-
ing had no work since April or May: the only general
remedy they conceive is to emigrate, and they seem
reckless to what quarter they proceed. The expedition
to Turkey has been principally composed of a few
Leicester men, but had hundreds been required, there
would have been plenty of 'volunteers. Some attempts
are making, as a last resource, to apply to Parliament
once more. but the great mass of the sufferers expect
no relief from that quarter. On all sides we hear of
nothing but assertions and complaints that the cotton
bobbin-net trade is worse than ever, and a general (but
we think rather mistaken) opinion prevails that it
never was worse. It is much to be lamented that
the machine-owners will not direct their attention to
constructing their machinery so as to improve the
fabric of the net, and also the principle of the
jacquard, to enable them to make large patterns,
the present principle being only applicable to making
narrow breadths and Tunings ; and not vests, shawls,
carfs, and such garments, which require a large
quantity of net. This they certainly are aware of ; but
they complain that the prices offered by the manufac-
turers for laces will not remunerate the heavy outlay
in making alterations and improvements. The silk
bobbin-net trade is still in a fair condition, and there
is yet some demand for muslin laces, which will most
probably increase with the spring fashions and the
spring trade. We aru pained to state that the cotton
warp lace trade has again receded, and some frames
have been stopped. The warp cotton lace trade in
France, upon the English principle, from the English
frames, is in a similar situation; but the French prin-
ciple, worked by Frenchmen upon their own methods,
is in a tolerable state; they are now principally supplied
by needles made in England, they being very deficient
in making them in France. They are sent of all guages,
from a four guage two needle to a forty guage two-
needle, which proves the extent of the manufacture.
Many warp frames have latterly been removed from
France to Spain and America.—Nottinyham Review.
WINDSOR, FRIDAY EYBNING.—It is probable that
the Court will leave the Castle for Osborne immediately
after the Princess Royal's birthday; but at present no
orders have been issued, nor have any arrangements
beau made for removal,
