THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved !
T• be had at the Patentees. 69, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.

The Patentees beg to • call publiC attention to the following facts,
flis advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of3o to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the Introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sze. ;
these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT I.Travitasat the
ItunNza." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than Is com-
monly supposed, it Is adapted for private 'dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
Immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJous TUNNlE,Prealdent, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
rhe air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
heat ed, and passed-out by two series of flre-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have bedn used. In comparing the consunaption
of these burners with that of the concentrio ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better ght, with a saving
of rather more than one-third."

CERTIFICATE.
"Ina series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta-
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saying of at least. 25 per cent., and against three fish-tall burners,
No. 4, 45 per cent.. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."

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 appliaation a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly 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. 60., Gs., and les.

THE BEST APERIENT AN ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR
GENERAL USE IS
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa-
tion, 'without griping or prostration of strength. They remove
head •ache,- sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, Sze., aro highly
grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
.anguur and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and
tree livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not

to be appreciated.
This Medicine has for many years 'received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and-, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :

" Siz,--I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
co other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instances n which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of
extraordinary efficacy., I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public, of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims
shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-
mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,

TEE HERRING FISTIERY.—It is gratifying to learn
that 'for the last four years. the take of herrings at the
Ferry-side has been gradually increasing. This useful
fish had before that period been a comparative stranger in
Carmarthen Bay, but now shoals frequent our shores, and
are easily captured by the fishermen. The size of the fish
this year has been much larger than previously.
