REMAARABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from It arlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-

sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an
nes* of several months' duration, during -width period his hair WU.-
..Wiled to come off, till be became; to use MA own terns, " at pettedly
bald as if his head had b&n shared ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACA.SSA it OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the groWth recommenced, and he has now to hoist of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.

for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Pills,
but it was not until 9, friend pressed them up
s eedy relief. This is
on me that I was in-
duced to take them, and,from which I found
several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack
comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business.

LONDON ASSOCIATION OF EAT-
ING-lIOUSE AND COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS.
The members of this excellent association, which pays
particular respect to the aged and the decayed of their
Lmber, assembled last night in the Freemasons' Tavern,
and sat down, together with their friends, to dinner; Sir
Benjamin Hall in the chair. Every arrangement fur
the delight or convenience of the guests seemed to be
appreciated to their full extent by all present. After
dinner the A'on nobis was sung. and the usual toasts in
honour of her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal
Family, and the Army and Navy, were given with all
the honours.

The Chairman then rose to propose the toast of the
evening. It was 't Success to the Association of the
Eating-house and Coffee:lionze Association." The
Chairman, in introducing the toast, referred to the com-
paratively late increase of the class out of whoin rose the
members of the society, who had been in the ratio of
2,000 to 10 during-the years since when it first appeared
in society. The Hon. Baronet in the course of his speech
pronounced a high eulogium on the efforts of the coffee-
house keepers to advance the intellectual character of
the people.
Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, who sat on the right of the
Chairman, proposed the Chairman's health, and paid him
a high compliment.
M. COCHRANE, who sat on the left of' the chair, gave
the " Press," and spoke at length upon the reciproca
advantages, which the press and the people equally
received.

Mr. HUMPHREYS then read a report of the finances
of the Society for the year, in which Sir B. Hall ap-
peared for 101 10s. ; Juhn Masterton, 51. ss. ; Mr.
Con)feers, 5/. ss. ; and a nunit)er of others equally
worthy of notice.

After the other usual toasts, the assembly broke up,
entirely satisfied with the entertainments of the evening.
Sorry always to find ourselves lonely, we were sorry es-
pecially to find that we were obliged to disapprove of the
arrangement, which prevented us by the distance at
which we were compelled to occupy our place, from
hearing either the Chairman or any of his worthy com-
peers round him. It was with a far different wish no
went to join the celebration of the anniversary of a
noble institution, but if the friends of the Secretary ex-
luded him and the press from the neighbourhood of the
Chairman, they entailed an evil on the public and the
institution which they were met to support.
Only one fact more we stay to mention in justice both
'to the chairman and to the guests. Sir Benjamin Hall
having consented to do himself and the company the
honour to take the chair at the anniversary dinner of
this Association, agreed to preside over the assembly at
five P.M.

On the afternoon of the assembly, when the guests
were already met at five o'clock, the hour of dinner, a
letter was received from this indefatigable statesman,
informing the guests present that he could not preside
till half an hour past six o'clock. But this hour was
again ushered in by_a note, intimating that the Hon.
Baronet would le present in ten minutes thereafter.
We are glad to be able to say that the Hon. Baronet did
come; the guests, moreover, waited his arrival, and sat
down somewhat on the yonder side of seven, instead of
five, o'clock, to what could scarcely be other than a cold
collation.

PHYSICAL VERSUS MonAL.—Whether the Physi-
cal wants should be remedied through the Moral, or the
Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has
occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists
for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question,
there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is
impaired it demands the first attention. For instance; a
person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would
be unable to appreciste the sublimest lessons of philoSophy,
even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much
more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this
distressing malady.

imitating them will be proceeded against.
