THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by
gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, dzziness, pains in the chest, &c., are
highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve lancour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and si"ging in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail 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:—

feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony' to the excellence of your ` Frampton's Pill of Health,'
which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge-
neral medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in
which she induced a person to adopt them, 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 medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a ` friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions
to give them my indiv,dual recommendation; and am, Sir,

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which cavers 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 gill, which when
ased in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused . the nrolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of which 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 au accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions hi health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
bedf more importance than the preservation of the health
of the physical capabilities of which every man should

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 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. 6d., 65., and 10s.

THE EGYPTIAN HALL.
THE ANGEL DELIVERING DANIEL FROM

THE LIONS.
It may be said of this surprising work, that it is no.
only the largest, but the greatest picture in water
colours that has ever been produced. The efforts which
have been of late years obtained with this medium by
the artists of the British Society had greatly raised the
character of the art, and convinced the world that it was
capable of more than modern opinions had given it credit
for ; indeed, we have sometimes seen in Pall-mall a
noble landscape which has tempted the connisseur to
venture on the admission that water colours might con-
vey, in some hands, a depth and richness approaching
nearly the effects of oil ; and that possibly, in the times
of high perfection, Zeuxis and Apelles might have pro-
duced, s ithout oil, those miraculous illusions of art
which the devotion of ancient dilettanti attri-
butes to them. But still there have been al-
ways misgivings on this subject. The wonders
recorded of ancient art, were still held to be above the
reach of the more feeble branch, and the feeling has been
still maintained that the history of painting has gone
wrong, that the ancients were fully acquainted with oil,
and that Sir Joshua Reynolds is right in his interpreta-
tion of Pliny, that they were masters of the supposed
modern device of glazing, or painting with transparent
colour. This picture by Mr. Burbank has much in it
that may give a new turn to the controversy. He has
here presented a grand example of the vast powers that
are comprehended within the scope of water-colour
painting. " Tbe Angel delivering Daniel from the
Lions" is a picture equalling in magnitude of dimensions,
in importance of effect, in grandeur, breadth, and
force of character, the most ambitious works of
high art, in the hitherto exclusive school of oil.
The general subject of " Daniel in the Lions' Den,"
has been variously treated by many of the first masters,
and has become common •place. In Mr. Burbark's hands
it has become a new subject. His conception is as
original as if he had started a new theme, and his com-
position is marked by a greatness of thought and origi-
nality equal to the conception. The grouping is poetic,
simple, and highly effective. The management of the
light is masterly in the highest degree, and produces an
incomparable effect of brilliancy and softness over all
the details of the impressive scene; and it will have been
inferred from what precedes. that the colouring pos-
sesses all the fulness, depth, and force, which have been
supposed the especial properties of oil. A minute

LAUNCH AT NEATH ABBEY.—'
Last evening a
splendid iron barque, upwards of 500 tons burden, built
tor the Messrs. Bath, of Swansea, and intended for the
Chili trade, was launched at Neath Abbey. At the hour
appointed, several hundreds of the inhabitants of Neath,
the Abbey, and the neighbourhood, assembled to wit-
ness the event, which passed off in a most satisfactory
manner, the noble barque gliding, after some time spent
in extricating her, into the water with ease and with
much grace. The barque was named by Miss Lambert,
La Serena, and was built by the Neath Abbey Ciimpany,
after the drawings of Mr. Alfred Sturge, and is consi-
dered a beautiful model.—Cambrian.

PREFERMENT.—The Hen. and Rev. Douglas
Gordon has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of Lon-
don to the rectory of Great Stanmore, rendered vacant
by the promotion of the Rev. T. R. White to the rectory
of Finchley, on the nomination of the Marquis of Aber-
corn.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties. They cannot trust to, their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on
whom, in their state of helplessness, They are almost entirely dei,en-
, dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt-
ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral-
ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they
receive while in the hospital.
It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found
in obtaining, well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering* to their bodily wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
'I he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as
in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman
Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found
useful in Prussia; a recent attempt to improve the respectability ef
professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to act, boih directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the charaeter of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall qualify them far their professional work, and be at the
same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who
are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional
position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of
labour: these are the means which, as they have seen successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing,
In raising, that of a body which is at present so much in want of
Improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the
immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master.
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three
classes :-
1. Those under training as probationers.
2. Those who, after paving through the period of probation sa-
tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging
to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In-
stitution.
At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi-
cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be
likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.
3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in-
tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are
willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and
poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like
that which w ill be here provided for them.
The management of the Institution will be confided to a council
of twenty-four members, (exclusive f the master, who will be
ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England
and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their
own body
