MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.

AT a MEETING of the Board of Baptist
Ministers, residing in and near the cities of London and West-
minster, held in the Baptist Mission House, M oorgate-street, Feb.
12, 1850, the following resolutions were passed unanimously :
1. That in the judgment of this Board, the marriage of a widower
witk the sister of his deceased wife is scripturally lawful, and ought
not to be prohibited by human legbilation.
2. That in the judgment of this Board, the Act of sth and 6th
William IV cap. 54, is improperly restrictive of the rights of indivi-
duals, and in many cases productive of Immorality.
3. That this Board has learnt with pleasure that the Committee
of the haptist -Union has issued a circular, recommending the
churches to petition for the passing of an Act legalizing the class of
marriages thus prohibited, and hopes that they will generally comply
with the suggestion.
4. That a petition in conformity with the preceding resolutions be
presented to both Houses of Parliament, signed on behalf of the
Board by the Chairman and Secretary; and that Mr. Hinton, with
the Chairman and Secretary, be requested to prepare it.

:;ern ations on the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment
of Obstructions of the Urinary Canal ; showing how it is that Stric-
tares, in most cases, not only resist, but are aggravated by the ordi-
nary means adopted for their cure, and at length become seriously
complicated by the so-called " consequences of Stricture." The
whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace
every possible form of Stricture and its consequences, together with
appropriate means of cure.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all
its accompanying nth:eries, will find detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst those who
are suffering under the less severe forms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskiltal and
rolent treatment—the mainspring of severe and complicated ob-
structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introducing a
catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, crud de-
mands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art
can only ha acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice,"—

GR IM STONE'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
If you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11e.
bottle of Grimstene's Aromatic Regenerator. This ls an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatie herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Irerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs, Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet Is forwarded through the pest, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post en
receiving a post-office order for 4s. Gd., 7s. Bd., or 128., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The Ils. size contains four of the 4s.
A few cf its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and Wpm are 48 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grhnstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gotta Serena, Cater.: et, Nervous ileadach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to he denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the in!ormers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of tho Lords of
the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed ky Berries, FA., to
Mr. William Grimstene, bearing date 18tk February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time is canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But ender this order of
Government It is obliged to be stamped.
