CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—No. 22 of the
New Series contains an article entitled " Persecution of New
Ideas," which the Editors deliberately print as an extract " From. a
Private Pamphlet,"word for word it is taken from Dr. Dickenson's Fal-
lacies of the Faculty !—ln a subsequent Number (36) appears another
article headed "What to do in cases of accident—Bloodletting."
Every argument adduced in that article against the operation in such
cases, is borrowed without acknowledgment from the same work.
The principal object of that work is the exposition of the periodicity
of all vital phenomena, which Dr. Dickenson claims as his discovery.
It forms the basis of the cbronothernial system of medicine, of which
he is the founder. Messrs. Chambers, to whom the Fallacies of the
Faculty was sAbmitted two years ago, with a view to the publica-
tion of a People's Edition, know this—yet, in an article published in
their last Saturday's Journal (No. 38), headed " Periodicity of Vital
Phenomena," not only do they never name Dr. Dickenson, but abso-
lutely go out of their way to repeat an attempt of certain Medical
Journals to give the merit of his discovery to an obscure physician
of the name of Lay-cock, who impudently plagiarised it I How that
plagiarism was exposed, the facts and dates by which the discovery
was substantiated, Messrs. Chambers know as well as any man liv-
ing. The controversy is in the pages of the Medical Times, the edi-
tors of which emphatically declare that Dr. Dickenson long preceded
Dr. Laycock ; and they may also see it in the copy of the Fallacies of
the Faculty sent to them on the appearance of their extract
" From a Private Pamphlet."

THE POOR SHIRTMAKERS OF
LIVERPOOL.
On Monday last a poor woman, who obtains a
scanty livelihood by making shirts for the largest
retail establishments in the town, and who appeared
to be in the most abject state of poverty, summoned
her employers to the Court of Requests for the sum
of ten shillings, the amount of her bill for making
shirts. The proprietors of the establishment were
represented by a very pompous, genteelly-dressed
young man, who fills the important situation of
superintendent of the shirt department." In a
manner the most affected, he said the defendants dis-
puted the bill on the ground that the shirts were badly
made, and that they had to pay fourpence each
to another person to remake and alter them. " Con-
sidering," continued he, in the same pompous man-
ner, "the circumstances of life in which Mrs.
is placed, we would willingly hare forgiven
her the fourpence each shirt, but one of the
shirts had been completely spoiled, by the skirt being
put in wrong, and we offered to pay her the amount,
deducting the price of two yards of linen, to supply
the part spoiled." The poor woman said he had of-
fered to make the shirt good if they would allow her
to have it. The overlooker of the shirt department
said, " Oh, it involves a very serious principle, and it
will never do, as we employ so many persons."
The shirt was brought into court, and handed up
to the Learned Commissioner, who, " with spectacles
on nose," minutely examined every part, to see if he
could discover any defect. After a long inspection the
Commissioner asked the overlooker what sum the
poor woman was paid for making each shirt, seeing
that they wished to deduct fourpence for the altera
tion ? The overlooker was silent upon this subject ;
but in the course of the examination it came out,
from some of the party, that the extraordinary sum of
two shillinps and eightpence per dozen was paid for
making plain shirts, or a fraction more than twopence
halfpenny per shirt ! Whether the shirts in question
were plain or not did not transpire. The Learned
Commissioner, taking all things into consideration,
ordered that the poor half-starved creature should be
paid 7s. 6d. and her costs. The proprietors of the
extensive establishment have thus been compelled to
pay about the sum demanded, whilst the poor shri-
velled and worn-out shirtmaker was left minus 2s. 6d.
of her hard• earned wages.—Liverpool Mercury.

Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any
deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland s
Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel-
ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and
immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending
restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and
unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also
promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples,
freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its
specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and
transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the
utmost pleasure and surprise. Its universally great de-
mand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers,
who give the title of "Genuine" Kalydor to some com-
pounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious
character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous
to the complexion, and by their repellant action endanger-
ing health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to
see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the
wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !! I

THE TURN OF LIFE I—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLs.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine '
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-
ther with a general derangement and debility of the
whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, strand
(where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all
respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised
world.
SPEEDY PROMOTION.—Few officers (says the
Courrier Francais) have within the last fifty years had
so rapid a promotion as Marshal Bugeaud. In 1830 he
was a colonel of infantry ; on the 2d of April, 1831, he
was made a major-general ; on the 2d of August, 1836,
a lieutenant-general ; in 1840, Governor-General of
Algeria ; in 1843, Marshal of France ; and now, in
1844, is created Duke of Isly. He is also Grand Officer
1 of the Legion of Honour.
