REVIEW of the PAST.

As years roll on, arid changes intervene,
'Tis only to look at every varied scene,
To watch the changes and report progress,
And still adhere to fashion and to dress ;
So list a moment—we intend to show,
That first-rate talent—must successful flow.
The waning year has brought great changes round,
Kings, rulers, princes, fallen to the ground ;
But yet our land—our thrice triumphant land,
Still in her might and majesty doth stand :
Our Queen still rules, dear to a thousand hearts,
Whilst England yet her giant strength imparts ;
Amidst the crush—the panic of the trade, '
L. HYAM stands in all his might arrayed.
His truthful system, and his deeds alone,
Just reared him to the tradesman's loftiest throne,
And all confess—the million now can tell.
When, how, and where a man like him excels.
In splendid trade, in dark depression's time,
L. HYAM would his gratitude entwine.
die would return his grateful thanks to those
Who honour him for Hats, and Caps, and Clothes,
And prove that pleasing was the greatest aim,
• Known at this place of Commerce and offame.
Whilst.coMpetition stalks throughout our town,.
In puny stature, seeking for renown ;
Still 'tis refreshlng to acknowledge all around,
That lITAM'S fame is daily gaining ground;
And one and all admit this startling fact,
Whil t others talk, L. HYAM fearless acts.
To all his friends does HYAM tender new,'
The deepest gratitude that e'er could flow ;
Success has marked the fading year immense,
And now, regardless of the word expense,
Shall '49 bring wonders to the sight,'
Such as shall fill his patrons with delight.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar,
York,

" To Mt Thomas Prout,

" 14th Jane, 1847.

" SlR,—Having suffered most dreadfhlly for the last six years from
repeated attacks of tke gout, and receiving ne benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. Whea I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ti-ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or otker
oitai part.
