PECTORAL ESSENCE OP COLTSFOOT.
THE Herb Coltsfoot has long been disti
gnislied for its excellent properties in the cure of
Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints ; and this Es..
senc• has, in the muss of a long practice, been found the
mat safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Dis-
orders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and im-
mediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger
of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic
Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes fre-
quent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the
fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels.—
Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the
Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs,
and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest.
This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES RTAk,
Surgeon in Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and
Sc. 6d seal, by F. Newbery and Sone, 45, St. Paul's

THE GOLD-HEADED CANE.

" The Gold-headed Cane, which is the hero of this
little volume, was once grasped by the palms of Radcliffe,
Mead, Askew, Pitcairn, and Baillie—but is now deposited
in a corner of tile College of Physicians. He consoles
his retirement by reviewing the transactions of which he
had been a party while sustaining the weight of his former
illustrious patrons. We are thus presented with an enter-
taining picture of several of the most celebrated Physicians
of the last 150 years, and of not a few of the political or
literary contemporaries with whom they were occasionally
placed in contact. We are introduced behind the scenes,
to glance over the actors and the audience of ether times.
The urbanity of tone which moderates the whole strain of
the composition, distinguishes it from every collection of
anecdotes with which we are acquainted.—Brande'sJour-
nal of Science. .

" We must say a few words about the Bijou, and shall
begin by admitting that its name is simply expressive of
the volume to which it belongs. This present- is its first
appearance among the Annuals, and whether we look to
the exquisite style of its etubettistrznent-s, or the high qtul-
lity of its literary matter, we can have no hesitation in
placing it far above all its competitors. We pronounce
this unqualified encomium, in the perfect confidence that it
will not be questioned by any one who has given but a
cursory inspection to the finished excellence, in all respects,
of the Bijou."--Courier, Nov. 2.
