It is almost impossible to enumerate the contents of his forthcoming
Number for SEPTEMBER. Ind Fed, both Editors, Artists, and Com-
positors have been thrown into such convulsions at its jokes, that a
sojourn at Clapham or Herne Bay can alone tone down their feelings
to resume their ordinary occupations. It is richer in Articles and Il-
lustrations than ever, and yet the price continues to be the imper-
ceptible Sixpence, as before.

(IMPORTANT CURE of INFLAMMATION
of the EYES, by the use of DURKEE'S GREEN MOUN-
TAIN VEGETABLE OINTMENT.
" Martha Day, of 94, High Holborn, states thas she is 14 years of
age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa-
sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable
to distingui-h objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much
pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly
the principal one of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital;
yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the
lace, producing a hard swilling or tumour just below the jaw-bone.
In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green
Mountain Vegetable Ointment ; a few days the swelling and in-
flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary
print with that eye, the sight of which was considered past restora-
tion."
The distinguishing Mature of this ointments is its power in reducing
inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism,
erysipelas, bronchitis ringwo, glandular swellings, and all scrofu-
Mus affections. The, proprietors have consigned the ointment to
Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London. It is also
sold by Barclay and Son, Farringdon- street ; Sangar, 150, Oxford-
street ; Howse, Tichbourne-street ; Taylor, Pall-mall ; Nash, Mary-
lebone-street ; Mack and Williams, 114, High Holborn ; and all re-
spectable Chemists and Medicine Venders throughout the kingdom,

It is illustrated bs Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. Treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in

of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated

which the dangers of infection are obviated. It combines with the
