NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM
1., London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square
sth June, 1845.

At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed
by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness
of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern
Counties of Scotland ;
We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In-
verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
don, In aid of the proposed Asylum.
And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
to learn your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be
kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
or before 12th instant.

The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties if Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam-
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.

To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, It is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move ono of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general. meeting of the Subscribers, and win be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,
(Signed) W. 11. COLQUHOUN.

" Sic,- -I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your '' Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"_ certainly none possessed of superior claims.
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-
mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,

"The various positions of Lever, Husband, and Parent, the in-

through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. Te such, among
ethers, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.

"Long experience in the treatment of a class if diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mertality."—Wakefield

Sir,—For the last three or four years Ihave been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, ft-om 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 benett, 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.—l am, your obe-
dient servant, W. H. ADAMS.

Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions,
will cost 35., and so on in like proportion,
