DR. WARBURG'S VEGETABLE FEVER
DROPS.

This medicine has been proved in :many thousand eases to be far
more efficacious than any febrifuge hitherto known, while its use
entails none of the unpleasant consequences to. frequently pro-
duced by quinine and other preparations of bark.
It is purely vegetable; its operation is uniform—its effects 'mine-
diate ; and it may be safely administered to infants at the breast.
The action of the medicine is slightly narcotic and highly sudorific ;
pains in the head, back, and limbs are immediately relieved, and
fever is eradicated in from six to twenty-four hours. It is exhibited
in the form of a tincture, a phial containing two doses of three
drachms each being sufficient in any case. It has been extensively
used in the East and West Indies, France, Germany and Italy, with
unqualified suceess, in cases of the most malignant nature, and with
equal efficacy in fevers of every type.
When the universal prevalence of fevers, and their contingent, as
well as direct effects arc considered, it will scarcely be deemed ne-
cessary to enlarge upon the value of any addition to the resources of
Medical Science, whereby the protracted sickness and mortality arising
from this source, may be averted. But even the value of such a medicine
may be enhanced by circumstances ; as in the case of travellers,
military and naval officers, emigrants, and others making long voy-
ages, and residents in the colonies.
From its portability it is available at all times, and will be found
invaluable when other medical aid cannot be obtained. It may be
safely taken under any circumstances, with a certainty of immediate
relief. Those, therefore, who, either on business or pleasure,
visit the South of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and
the neighbouring countries, and, above all, residents in the East
and West Indies, the Mediterranean, African, and South American
colonies, will do well to avail themselves of a remedy, the perfect
safety and extraordinary efficacy of which have been proved in
many thousand instances, and in every climate.
By providing themselves with a supply of this medicine, owners
or masters of vessels trading to the coast of Africa, the southern
States of America, and other parts where fever is prevalent, will
prevent its ravages from carrying off or disabling their crews, at a
cost which is utterly insignificant when compared with the value of
the lives and time lost, and the expense incurred for hired labour,
necessarily employed in foreign ports whenever the ship's company is
unequal to the duty.
Testimonials of the most convincing nature from Sir Andrew Hal-
liday, Dep. Insp. General of Army Hospitals (in his official report,
dated British Guiana, Oct. 5, 1834, and in his letter to the Secretary
at War on Sickness and Mortality in the West Indies, March 8,
1839), and numerous other distinguished members of the profession,

Dr. Warburg's Febrifuge is prepared only under his own imme-
diate direction, and is issued exclusively from his Laboratory, No. 27,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London ; but it may be obtained
of Agents in any part of Great Britain, and also In most of the Bri-
tish Colonies, price Bs. per phial. In localities, however, where it can-
not be readily procured of a chemist or medicine-vendor, orders sent
direct to the Laboratory, accompanied by a reference to a house in
London for payment, or for small sums, by a Post-office order, will
be immediately attended to.

DEATH FROM PRUSSIC Acts.—ln Tracey-street,
Stepney, on Saturday last, the sudden and mysterious
death of a lady of great personal charms, the wife of
a medical gentleman, took place from the effects of
prussic acid. The circumstances, as elicited at the
inquest, held by Mr. Baker, at the Fountain, Tracey-
street, Stepney, are as follows :—The deceased,
Rachael Bellamy, the wife of J. Bellamy, Esq.,
surgeon, came to London, from Sussex, on her way
to Arlington, in Essex, on Tuesday last, and took
lodgings at the house of Mrs. Epstantell, in Tracey-
street, Stepney, where she remained in company
with her husband. It appeared that the lady was
enciente, and about half-past ten o'clock on the above
morning, her husband sent for a black draught, which
she took. Mr. Bellamy has himself, for a length of time
past, been in the habit of taking small quantities of
prussic acid for a complaint he laboured under. On
Saturday morning he broke one of the phials containing
the prussic acid, when he poured the contents into a
tumbler, and went into the next Loom and commenced
writing. Mr. Bellamy shortly after heard a scream
in his wife's bed-room, who called out, " Oh, I have
taken some of that stuff in the tumbler ; do give me
some water," and she expired shortly after. It further
appeared that immediately after the death of his wife,
Mr. Bellamy left the lodgings end went to reside a few
doors off. Neither did he send for medical assistance or
the stomach-pump. Mr. Charnock, who attended for
Mr. Bellamy, requested that the inquest might be ad-
journed, for the purpose of proving that Mr. Bellamy
was in the habit Of treating his wife with great kindness
and was most ardently attached to her, and that the
poison must have been taken by mistake. The inquest
was accordingly adjourned".
