CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE
VENTILATING STOVE.
(Testimonial after one Winter's trial.)
" St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1848.
"My dear Sir,—l have very 'great pleasure in giving my public
testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double
advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any
large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to he in
theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have
not yet discovered the point in which the practice f 4.115 short of the
theory.
" The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical
feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already
erected has thily answered my highest expectations, and realised all
that you have given me to expect. If confirmation were needed for
evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar
difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made,
and that every attempt had pr, ved a signal failure—that I was ex-
posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled
others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort
communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice,
and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent.
" I night add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect-
rig your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un-
favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter,
where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach
to approval must carry with it great weight.
"I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully,

TO THE LADIES.
This lady bad the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
"Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. S'wan-street, Borough, takes this oppor
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grirnstone, of the ilerbary, High-
gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months.
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
t ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies world gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure In answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts. —3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The'iii9stdelicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most

THE DEATH IN THE t;*A3I.I3RIDGE

tiry returned the follawing verdict;--` We find that
Ei,zebeth Hewe died of rheumatic fever, caused by a

in a cold and damp cell, from the effects of which she
died. The jury cannot separate without expressing
their abhorrence of a system which sanctions the ap-
prehension of females when not offending against the
reneral law of the land, and confining them in a gaol
-'ll:lfit for the worst of felons. The jury also request the

—Cambridge Independent Ptess.
The following letter on the subject appears in the
Cambridge Independent Press :
" To toe E iter.—Sir,—ln reference to the recent in-
quest upon the body of the unfortunate girl Howe, re
1,,,rt0d in your paper, may I, in justice to the keeper of
the Spinning-house, be allowed through your favour to
publish the following facts : At the commencement of
L as the medical officer, called to see that the
wards and cells were prepared e'er inmates. I found the
whele of the interim- had beim recently whitewash, d,
fires were li_hted in the day-rooms, and the beds airing
fore them.
The bed occupied by the unfortunate deceased had
been c.eeo antly need for s.,me time, with the exception
of one night pre.!eding her admission. I have visited
the inmates ever) other day, sometimes daily, since
commenc,-ruent of term, a,,d in no one instance have I
observeti, or heard complained of, (lamp beds.
" The deceased left the house on the morning of the
711; she came under medical treatment for rheumatic
fever on the 18th. How was the interval of eleven
days occupied? If the fever commenced the day after
she left the house, and was permitted to take its course
for ten days, driving her to a fatal termination, without
anpeal the skill of her medical attendant, it matters
little how or when she caught it. She died in conse-
quence of her own neglect or the neglect of those about
her. If, on the other hand, the urgent symptoms
showed themselves when she sent for medical relief, the
probability is that the fever was contracted at a period
subsequent to her leaving the Spinning-house.
"‘ Medical men will duly appreciate this observation,
though it has escaped the notice of a non-medical
coroner and the jury. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" R. M. FAWCETT.
