' EMIGIaTION AND COLONIZATION.
IMMIGRATION* being much 'required in
.
AUSTRALIA. NEW ZEALAND, &e.; and as the supposed
'expense of an OUTFIT often prevents Individuals Emigrating, S.
W. SILVER hnd Co.. CLOTHIERS, OUTFITTERS and CON-
TRACTERS (having a large interest to maintain in those Co!caaies),
have been advised to make-known that they can supply OUTFITS
for Male er Female. Emigrants from Four Pounds (net) upwards,
or leas when needful ; and for hildren in proportion at No. 4,
BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN, opposite the London Tavern.
M. W. S. and Co., being the makers of nearly every article in all
the Outfits they supply, and as one of their objects is to promote
Erni,ration. they neither receive from Agents, or pay the too usual
commission to any person introducing passengers to be fitted out,
me that the Passage and Outfit may be procured at the least possible
expense ; but they will, on application, advise Passengers how to
obtain the moat economic passage to the Colonies. They have a
Representative' in every Australian Colony, to whom they ship
Clethisrinouthly; thus they would forward small parcels free of
expense.
Naval and Military Miters, Midshipmen, Cadets, Civilians,
Ladies, &c., are outfitted as heretofore, at the Cab'n-Passenger Out-
fitting Warehouse, Nos. 66 and 67, CORNIIILL (the Emigration
Outfitting being exclusively at No. 4, Ilishopsgate-street Within),

Reproaching to a premature grave, in consequence of' some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
Se astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, gcc., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
