ROCHE'S HERBAL EMBROCATION, an
Effectual Cure for the Hooping Cough, without Internal

Medicine.
This is the only discovery affording a perfect cure, without admi-
nistering an internal Medicine, the difficulty and inconvenience of
which, in all disorders particularly incidental to Children, are too
well known to need any comment. The Inventor and Proprietor of
this Embrocation can with pleasure and satisfaction declare, that its
salutary effects hare been so universally experienced, and so gene-
rally acknowledged, that many of the most eminent of the Faculty
now constantly recommend it as the only known safe and perfect
cure, without restriction of dict or use of medicine.
Many thousands of chil inn are cured annually by this remedy;
on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCATION
will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a
few times using often completely cures. IR most cases, one bottle
will produce the desired effect. The Proprietor, therefore, earnestly
and conscientiously recommends it to Parents, Guardians, and all
those who have the care of children.

For the protection of the Public, and to prevent imposition, "J.
ROCHE" is signed on the Label accompanying each bottle, and the
name of the sole Wholesale Agent, Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's,
-ngraved on the Government Stamp. Price 4s. per bottle. Sold by
Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Churchyard, London ; Sanger, 150, Oxford-
divot ; White, 44, eoraldil ; and by most respectable Chemists.

to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkingliam and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton.
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Rrilway, will form the most direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of LancaShire, Yorkshire, sad Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom. - . _

The Southern parts of ancolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of. Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Kot tin gh am.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Lino from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.

The Repo'rt of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amount to very near Bs.. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 1M d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication." - _ .

The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.
