H E LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL C A.NDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicly myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public hays long enough
been psstered with such rubbish.

The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
world. The Cared Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. An other night lights will be used no
more ; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclusion cam we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Low-
ther Arcade.

The security of happiness in the Marriage state is the chief anxiety
of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union, through a
secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

despondency of the character alluded I. ; and advice will be found
calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated
health.

burns from sunset till morning without attention. No cleaning
required for years. Is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged. It
never will.be outdone. The Diamond Carcel Lamp is perfection in
light. The public will hare none ether. Designs the most chaste
and elaborate to suit every taste.—To be had only. and seen daily,

EpAmss' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy:
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered ander the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spas:nodie asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), car-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

Copy of a Letter from Colonel Hawker, the well-known Author on

Longparish House, near Whitehurch, Hants, Oct. 21,1846.
Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a
cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for
me; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
I'. HAWKER.

developed in etherized subjects ; but, upon the whole,
a more perfect illustration of the value of the new
:
agent has never been witnessed. The pulse varied
much in force, regularity, and frequency. Before the
inhalation of the vapour it counted 120, during the
height of the operation it was 160 irregular and inter-
mitting, and ufter the removal of the leg it subsided
to 100, and became soft and tranquil. After the
wound had been dressed, and previous to the removal to
bed, she rapidly recovered her consciousness, and the ex-
pression of her face became beautifully serene and calm.
She said she had not felt the slightest pain, and in a
childish, affectionate, and joyous manner, threw her
arms round the neck of the operator and kissed him.
When carried to her bed she showed surprise and de-
light, and declared to the nurse she could not believe the
leg had been amputated, for she had been so utterly un-
conscious of what had taken place; she even passed her
hand down in search of her foot, before she could be
convinced of the fact. In a few minutes afterwards she
rea fast asleep, and has not experienced a single unfa-
vourable symptom since the operation. Tte numerous
scientific and professional visitors were delighted, that a
child so much debilitated by long-continued disease,
should have borne the shock of so important a surgical
process with such entire absence of the nervous distur-
bance and agitation which have always hitherto accom-
panied amputations, and capital operations in general,
and warmly congratulated Mr. 'Thomson upon the
complete and signill success which had crowned his
efforts.
