TESTIMONIALS.

(From Anthony White, Esq., Parliament-street. one of the
Council, and late President of the Ro}al College of

Surgeons.)
I can with much satisfaction recommend to the public the
boot or shoe which is deno►ainated " Impilia." Its peculiar
advantages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is ►mper-
viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and
onstant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably
adapted to tender and crippled feet from gout or other maladies.
April 6, 1842. ANTHONY WHITE.
(From Dr. Paris, of Dover-street, London.)
I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction
shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you
have bestowed the name " Impala." They undoubtedly pos.
secs an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the
foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare
merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry,
and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the
score of health. J. A. PARIS, M.D.

(From J. G. Andrews, Esq. St. Helen's-place,one ofthe Coun-
cil, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.)
1 have worn for some time the new patent boots, called " Im.•
pilia," with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots
possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am
enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience.
April 20, 1842. J. G. ANDRENVS.
(From Dr. Roots, Russell-square, London. )
Dear Sir,—l have now worn for some time a pair of boots
with intermediate soles, which you term " Impilia." They are
admirably adapted for the ease and comfort of tender feet, and
the elasticity of their tread is very pleasant. I can with con-
fidence recommend them for general use, while for medical
men they possess the very rare advantage of not creaking, and
consequently are so desirable in a sick room.
W. Baker, Esq.. April 25, 1842. H. S. ROOTS M.D.
( From Dr. Hodgkin, Lower Brook-street, London.)
Having not only examined, but put to the proof of experience,
the patent soles invented by my friend William Baker,
111.11. C. S., and termed " Impilia," I have no hesitation in say-
ing hat they are a very decided improvement on the common
method of construction. They are not only much more
agreeable to the sole of the foot, but promote a warm and uni-
form temperature as well as freedom from damp, whether en-
tering from without or derived from the feet. It may not be
amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve-
ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot, so
generally inflicted by the shoemaker, should be'earefully avoided.
30-4, 1842- THOMAS HODGKIN, M.D.
(From John C. Taunton, Esq., M. R. C. S., 48, Platton-garden. )
I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the intermediate
soles of " Impilia." They appear to me to possess advantages
over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with
more comfort, adapt themselves better to the form of the foot,
and are impervious to wet. jOTIN C. T4UNTON.

IMPORTANT TO-ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
jtht reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitix ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe'sLemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
I rapidly getting into extensive leputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable savour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men

Andre Husson, the deaf and dumb man, who was
one of the prisoners arraigned as a participator in the
seditious riot of the 4th and sth May, and who has al-
ready been no fewer than fourteen times in the hands of
justice, under accusations of robbery; vagabondage, and
other offences, made his appearance again on Saturday
before the Court of Assizes, on a charge of outrageous
acts of violence towards his own father. Whatever pity
might be excited by his natural infirmity, was soon
turned into horror and disgust by the ferocious character
revealed by his features, and established by his manners
and actions. M. Paulmer, Professor at the Royal In-
stitution for the Deaf and Dumb, attended to convey to
the prisoner the questions put to him by the President,
and interpret his answers. The prisoner did not deny
the truth of the accusation, and confined himself entirely
to affirming that lie was drunk at the time, and did not
know what he was about. The father of Husson, evi-
dently in terror of his son, although in Court, gave his
testimony with great reserve and forbearance, relating
that Andre, having demanded Money from him, which
he was unable to afford, beat and kicked him in the most
brutal manner. M. Hely d'Oissel, Substitute of the Pro-
cureur du Roi, maintained the chary, and notwith-
standing the prisoner was defended by T. Alton, a young
advocate, appointed ex-officio, with great ability and
urlgimint, which drew from the President a marked
eulogium, Andre Husson' was found guilty. and sen-
tenced to julprisonment for tree yegs.
