BATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-THE-MAINE.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
cLfferences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable a -
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant eflicalr, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.

The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in 113 po-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
:rout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.

During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private hauses afford to visitors all the comforts ne.
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.

The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are pierced
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, *visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constricted a mag-
nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lenee of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, in which are mcst of the German,*French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening on to a tine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hôte, served a la Franettise, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
_

The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of lientz performs three
times a day; in the morning, at the Springs ; In the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room. _

Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed ea h other
without interruption.

The Director; shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50.000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of i
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parres through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe.

The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne,
Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mat
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour.

NICOLL'S REGISTERED PALE.TOT, 6 arldi
7 Viet., cap. 65, made of llama cloth, is light, dark, and mixed
colours, Two Guineas, patronised by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, is, from the neatness of its form, adapted for the two pur-
poses—as an over coat, light in weight, a desirable advantage in our
ever-variable climate ' • also as a surtout, or summer frock coat, with-
out other—a perfect luxury, where heat is found oppressive. Un-
assumed plainness, the characteristic of a gentleman's attire, is fully
sustained in the Paletot, being in its fashion neither trop prononce
or trop neglige.
" It speaks well for the working of the new Act, which thus secures
the profits of a good judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to
whom it is due."—See the " Times" of 4th April.
" In the Registered Paletot there is a gentlemanly neatness and an
absence of all unsightly vulgarity. It has met with the highest ap-
probation in the Court circle."—See " Morning Post" of the 19th April.
Paletots suitable to the habits and professions of all are ready for
inspection ;at the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, twenty
paces north of Quadrant.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test* six years' trial. Among the 10,000 Is rise,
they have been adopted by the of zial 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 establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, sad 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 Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name en 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 Itrwarded by pest),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's 4anc, London.

St 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 deaftwss, so much so 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.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. H. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Grtmstone
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. cassister, with directions,
will cost 35., and so on in Ks proportion

CHIN G' S WORMDESTROYING LO-
ZENGES have for Fifty Years held a distinguished reputa-
tion, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names
in rank, respectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of
their utility in their own families.
It is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality, that one
half of the children born are cut off before attaining seven years of
ewe, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in that
foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produces the generation
of Worms.

The symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of
the face, emaciated and irregular state of the bowels, attended with
violent pain. They bring on convulsions ; they affect the growth of
the body ; s.,!d they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay.

As the certain restorer of iniantine health, in this critical state,
" Ching's Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have long been known and
esteemed : mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of
this period of life, and infallible in their effect, their excellence can be
gratefully testified to by many fond and anxious mothers who have
successfully had recourse to them.
As an Opening Medicine in spring and summer, for Malts u well
as for Children, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and
Convulsions, although Worms may not exist, It is allowed to be supe-
rior to every other.
CITING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES are peculiarly
adapted and recommended for Exportation to the EAST and WEST
INDIES, and warm climates generally, as their virtue remains un-
impaired by time.
