" No. 208, Piccadill, London, October 19, 1847.

" Sir, —lt Is now three and a half years since I was sorely afnicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
dvOtse, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in.
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
"MICHAEL NASMYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
With gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re.
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all whe have taken it ;and
contains there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the king but
grateful evidences of its benign influence.
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.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London," im-
pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine.

I A G E.
la One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
luPPogiaz 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 amt worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
sad 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 feral au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfbrtune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

relined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not Intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whoa
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (samo price Is. each,

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
Pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
Mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
lervanee of the maxima he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
