CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
_D EFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tette six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use,
they have been adopted by the oftt ial authorities of the Houses of
parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many'
other large establishitients. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it Is necessary at all times to order Defriee'n Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.
Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be fc rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory,Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order theta through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however,
that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than Si. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that
may be directed; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 11. Post-office order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and: a
gallon of the Oil. They fix the price of the sample box so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the Country Dealers.
The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; Palmer
and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell ; and W. Merchant, 253, Regent-
circus, Oxford-street ; in Manchester, from Richardson and Roebuck,
Market-place; in Bath, from T. and G. Butcher, No. 4, Saw-close;
and in Cheltenham, from Mathews and Co., 400, High-street.

Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Department
October 9, 1844.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a
nervous deafness, so much se at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.--I am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W ADMS.
