AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the moat simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!

Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound. known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
fnr its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R.S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with ethers of
the first respectability.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea_thy, viz.:-
Ist. InsuriEg their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weex,y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Parnents ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Publie h particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.

Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

MR. GROOM'S TULIP SHOW.

The private exhibition of this beautiful collection of tulips
took place on Wednesday, in the gardens at Walworth. We have
for bears had the pleasure of witnessing the annual show, acid
on no occasion have we seen the plants in such a healthy state,
or the flowers exhibiting such endless tints of shade a id brit-
bailey of colour. The great favourite this season is our old
friend Nourri Effendi, who took the lead of every species some
two or three years ago, and seems determined to keep his
ground. The Pomp Funebre sod the King of the Nether-
lands, of the same colours, are also good, but greatly it:fei ior.
Louis-Seize, white and purple, is extremely beautiful, and is
classed as the second best in the collection, and after these
come the Duchess of Sutherland, Prince of the Netherlands,
and Marcellus. Owing to the warm and genial weather the
plants are approaching rapidly to maturity, and will be in per-
fection in the course of ;this week. We would therefore ad-
vise all who have a fancy for this beautiful branch of floricul-
ture to take an opportunity of seeing them while in the best
cond,tion, especially as a season so tavourab!e t,,r the growth
of the plant acid the beauty of the colours rarely occurs.

for his own de hronement. A i Sn.b, it is saij, continues
his preparations with v.g 'lir, and has even fixed a periud
for the outbreak.

DOST MAHOMED.—The Dost arrived at Loodianah on
the 15th February, and intimation was immediately given
by the political agent that the troops composing his escitrt
would b required for the service, as British intervention
in the affairs of the Punjaub was considered Utinvyilable.
KNTBER.—There has been a sharp conflict at Khyber
between a tribe called the &Ingot) Khail tribe, and a strong
force from Jellelabad, under the command of Capt. Macke-
son. Tb• defeat of the enemy was signal, but it was not
sfc'eted without consilerable loss on the side of the victors,
Captain Douglas, as.,i,tant political agent, Lieutenant
Pigou, of the Engineers, and 20 native Sepoys, having
been killed. There were also 40 Sepoys wounded.

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA-
TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c.
Public attention is reque:ted to the following Letter addressed
by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning
Chronicle":—

Sm.—As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any-
thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send
you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a
violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout. which I
have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give
it publicity in your widely'-circulated paper.
I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night,
the 31st of May last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the
following Wednesday, when I war recommended to apply to a
Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-street,Cheapside, for
a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by
his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At
that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply
anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation,
for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to
my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain
ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of ono week
the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this
remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as I
had in former attacks.

I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the
thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for
which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they
may know where to obtain the same relief.
Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen
him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he
had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had
never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved
at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through
you to my fellow-sufferers.
It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme-
diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large
degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con-
ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren.
However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own
case in every possible way ; and I consider, by insertin,, this
in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than
usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some
of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, ike.

only at the twelfth hour, when they cannot do better, and
too late to do them any good with the people, whose con-

RE-ANIMATION.

THE MEDICINAL LFFECTS of STEEL,
as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for
ages to excel those of all other articles of the Alateria Mediaa,
and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions
of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be
wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S
genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have
attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe.
When the most important functions of life are suspended, and
those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced
to the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in
despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be-
yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge-
neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex; and it
is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best,
if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de-
bility. , When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse
themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects
at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark
of life begins to grow dim, the cif culation, languid, and the
faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to
the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body,
and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise,
loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate
approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved
and restored to health and society by the benign influence of
thi< medicine.

GOSSIP OF THE HERALD.-r-LORD EBRING-
TON'S MARRIAGF.—The happy day of the Viceroy's nuptials'
s not yet publicly known. According to some rumours, they
will not take place till the fate of the Ministry is decided, but
it is more generally thought that his Excellency will not suffer
any Ministerial division to create a matrimonial one, or the
destiny of her Majesty's advisers to control his own. As it is
not every day that a chief Governor falls in love, it may be in-
teresting to some readers to know the manner in which the
arrows of Cupid pierced the heart of Lord Ebrington.
He
was partaking of the hospitalities of Mrs. Putland, at Bray,
enjoying the delights of a fete champetre, some short time
ago, when a thunder-storm arose. The illustrious guest fled for
shelter to a tree--an oak of the forest. It so happened that Lady
Somerville retreated tothe same place of shelter. The storm
tinned for for an hour—the fair lady became alarmed—his Excel-
lency consoled her, and appeased her fears. An rgreeable
tete-a-tete ensued despite the rain and thunder, and in that
hour, tempestuous in weather but felicitous in love, the vene-
rable and sedate Lord Ebrington became enamoured of the
beautiful enchantress. It is also not a little singular, that:.
Sir W. Somervi le offered the lady his hand before his father,
Sir Marcus, proposed to make her the partner of his life ;
hut she declined the honour, and took Sir Marcus " for
better for worse." Some years after the death of Sir Marcus,
the Hon. Hugh Fortescue, son of Lord Ebrington, sought
the honour of relieving her ladyship from the weeds of widow-
hood, but she politely rejected his amatory offer. Lord
Ebrington addressed her, and she consented to become his
wife. This rejection of two sons, and acceptence of two
fathers, has given rise to much amusing chat-chat in the
fashionable circle, here.
