yAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
:ieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi °yokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 141., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

TUE " REFORM " PARLIAMENTS.

The last of the old Reform Parliaments has
passed away. In noting its death the Daily
News glances at the list of the Cabinet Ministers who
met the first reformed Parliament on the 29th of
January, 1833. They were the Duke of Richmond,
the Marquis of Lansdowne ; Earls Grey, Durham,
and Carlisle ; Viscounts Althorp, Goderich, and
Palmerston ; Lords Brougham, Auckland, Holland,
and Russell ; the present Earl of Derby, . Sir
James Graham, and Mr. Charles Grant. Of this list
of statesmen only two now survive, Lords Russell
and Derby; and it may be added that these noble
earls and Lord Palmerston were, with the exception
of Lord MelbOurnei the only members of the Whig
Cabinet who obtained the premiership after Earl
Grey's retirement from power.
