INSPECTOR.GENRRAL OF CUSTOMS.—It affords us
much pleasure to :state that G. Amott, Esq., of Westow
Lodge, Norwood, Inspector-General of Customs, whose severe
and protracted illness has, for some months past, caused to
his family anel numerous friends the utmost anxiety and fear,
is rapidly regaining his health and strength. Mr. Amott,
while engaged some years back, making a survey of the ont-
ports, was suddenly attacked with accute disease of the heart
attended with such violent palpitation, as at the time to threaten
suddkn death. This alarming disease has, within the last
few months been accompanied with so much suffering from
difficulty of breathing, that he could scarcely walk across his
room. Having consulted several eminent members of the
profession without any relief, Mr. Amott was advised some
live or six weeks since, by a gentleman who was cured by
Dr. Cronin, of Leicester-place, to consult that gentleman
and try' the new mode of treatment so successfully introduced
by him at the Dispensary for the cure of diseases of the Heart
and Lungs. The improvement in Mr. Amott's health is such,
since he began to adopt the mode of treatment recommended
by Dr. Cronin, that he can now take daily two or three
hours' active exercise, and is rapidly recovering his wonted
health and strength.--Globe.
