Repodof the Committee :
The Committee of Management have pleasure in assuring
the promoters of the Institution, th it its career has been
marked by progressive usefulness, in effecting to a conisdera
ble extent, the objects for which it was originated, and that al--
though little publicity has been given to it, upwards of 1,1100
patients have been entered upon the books ; and it is with pe-
culiar satisfaction that the Committee are enabled to add, that
the majority of these patients have been either cured or have
received substantial relief.

The Surgeon of the Institution, Mr. Yearsley, has prei,ared
a Report of the medical proceedings at each succeeding half
year, to which the Comm►ttee might refer, were it necessary,
as exhibiting some very remarkable and gratifying cases of
cure.

'The Committee, from their own personal observation, can
bear testimony to the great zeal and ability which have uni-
formly been displayed by Mr. Yearsley ; and they consider it
a subject of congratulation, that the indgent, suffering under
the class of diseases to which the Institution is devoted, should
continue to have the advantage of a professional adviser who
not only knows how to appreciate improvements in the depart-
ment of science to which it refers, but who can also judiciously
and skilfully apply them.
To carry out, however, to their fu'l extent the various bene-
ficial purposes for which the Institution was established, addi-
tional pecuniary aid is required; and the Committee, therefore,
put forth their claim to the benevolent consideration of the
public, in full confidence that it will not be made in vain.
The amount of good which they believe has rewarded their ef-
forts, with the small means hitherto at their command, affords
an assurance that with increased funds the benefits of the
Charity can be most advantageously extended, by not only
affording gratuitous advice to patients, but also supplying such
medicines as their cases require; whilst to those poor persons
whose maladies resist all efforts of professional skill, suitable
acoustic instruments could be furnished more extensively than
the present state of the funds admit of for their alleviation.
It should be observed, that no efforts have hitherto been
made, no urgent appeal to public sympathy attempted, with a
view to improving the condition of its finances, for a reason
which the Committee persuade themselves must be generally
approved : they consider that it was their duty to show the
necessity of such an Institution before any application was
made in its favour ; so that, in fact, every contribution which
it has heretofore been their pleasing duty to acknowledge, has
been, in the strictest sense of the word; voluntary, because un-
solicited.

Subscriptions are received by the following bankers :
Messrs. Cockburn and Co., 4, Whitehall; Messrs. Di ummond
and Co., Charing-cross; by Messrs. Nisbet and Co., 'Book -
sellers, Berners-street ; or by Mr. Yearsley, No. 29, Sackville-
street.

has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin./
ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du-
rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed
of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossibte for
the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only
kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently
get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being
poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town
and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges,
brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea-
thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and sables, of
the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any
other house in England. Families in the country can have a
list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand.

" To Messrs. Morison, British College of Health, Hamilton-
place, New-road, London.—Gentlemen : This is to inform

To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,-1 feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed en myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
beli-rtre,l should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2a. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"=-I declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,

TOP PING DECAYED TEETH.

TEETH SUPPLIED.

Mr. THOMAS, Surgeon-Dentist, 63, Berners-street, Ox-
ford-street, continues to restore DECAYED TEETH with
his MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, without pain or pros.
sure, and fastens loose teeth, whether arising from age, neg-
lect, or disease of the gums. Mr. Thomas's new method of
supplying the loss of teeth, by self-adhesion, without springs
or wises, and without extracting any teeth or stumps.—They
are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth by forming a new gum
where the gums have shruiik, from the use of calomel or other
causes. The teeth' are of an entirely new description ; they
will never decay, or become discoloured, and will always appear
as well as when first placed in the mouth, and are less expen-
sive than any teeth. Their exact resemblance to nature defies
detection even by the most intimate friend.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much impro'ed and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class

traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the Pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing,. they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, tan only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin

are from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in

&c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarjly at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigatiq and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested n proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his y•oung
charges, what the real causes of such. attack may be, and thus
ho will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
