ESTORATION OF THE HAIR
111.3 Li " To Messrs. A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London
"Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847.

" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas-
sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice.
The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock, of Ashdon,
near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect.
ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle
of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me
the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair.
You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the Heads •f Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in iamilitt, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder
is the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :
" To ➢lr. Thomas rrout, 229, Strand, London.

" No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.
" Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in geclaring that they supply to me a means long
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or en the road, a mast
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l ant,
Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression
after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Less of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.

Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.
Sold by T. Pront, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. 13¢?I. and 2s. 9d.

QPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be inoontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s.

AN APPEAL to the
WIDOW of WILLIAM
coxmr

The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the
Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted bat unfor-
tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to
the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, is behalf of the
trust which has been confided to them.
The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac-
knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse
have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form,
but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the
ablest judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de-
voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of
praise to which they considered his merits entitled.
The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of
a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis-
appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and
distress.
Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill
of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on
his mind ; for thither, to use kis own emphatic language, he wished
to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend
his latter days in comparative peace and quiet.
His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return
from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his
last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three
infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided
for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fluid, in order, if
possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has
been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al-
ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded
to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey,
Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others,
have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly
hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un-
obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which
the Committee have in view.

Dundee, March 10, 1848.
Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Commit-
tee; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton,
Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, Dundee.
DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET.
(To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.")

Dandee,.Februal7 29, 1848.

Sir,—The painful task has been deputed tome of announcing to
the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For
some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and
his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer-
tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of •his
honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, In our city, at half-
past eleven a.m., ho departed this life. He has left behind him
something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains.
which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not
Willingly suffer, like the inscription en the coffin, to be buried in
the tomb. He has left behind him, alas something of yet ten-
derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children,
th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few
months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind-
ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere
this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of
the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has
found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at
last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will
I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment
which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly
poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could stip
on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for
years ! But I would bespeak general, sympathy in behalf of his
destitute family. I would implore- every lover of literature—
every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's
lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure
and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex-
clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw
him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath
given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how
far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by
generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was
the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time.
No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima-
tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be,
dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and
others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death-
bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant,
active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless
bairns.

Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr
Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations.

The smallest sums will be welcomed

I am, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE GILFILLAN.
The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before
his death :

SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE.
Tune—" Miller o' Dee."
While we laugh mid sing, in this happy ring,
With a bright and a brotherly glee,
May we never forget that the sun hath set
On the homes of misery.
For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind
Sweeps round some fireless hearth,
Freezing the heart of the homeless ono,
With never a friend en earth.

Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling,
In our bright arid brotherly glee ;
Yet never forget that the sun may set
On the homes of misery.

Man was not made for this world alone,
The world was lent to man ;
'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know,
Then pay it as well as you can.

Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow,
With his pelting rain and his hail ;
May it never be said that hanger and woe
Held abiding in bonny Dean Yale.

Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling,
In our bright and brotherly glee,
And never forget that the sun may set
On the homes of injury.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
Marriage requires the fitifilment of several conditions. In order
that it may, be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
