BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Ear

" To Mr. Th.mas Prout.

14th June, 1847.
" Sin,—having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a hex of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
r•sony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awake in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and t'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from tem. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
"I em, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief. •
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

in One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself wider the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
conaprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. Tho dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice densand that health should form au item

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbllngs of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this oh-
iervanee of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
an the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
'but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this Belden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?

It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or, the results -of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been

instituted 'by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
tidiest and most satisractory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.

and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe-
