1/FENTAL or NERVOUS COMPLAINTS
-.AUL are the chief cause of human misery. All troubles are
light to men of strong nerves. But disinclination from and
incapacity for study, business, &c., palpitation of heart, low
spirits, determination of bloni to the head, vertigo, blushing,
groundless fear, restlessness, wretchedness, sleeplessness, delu-
sions, thoughts of self-destruction, insanity, &c., originate in
weak nerves. A Clergyman having cured himself of a deep-
rooted nervous complaint, of fourteen years' duration, and of
8,000 patients in eight years knows not twenty uncured, from
benevolence rather than gain, offers to cure all who apply to
him. Clergymen, Members of Parliament, Barristers, Officers
of the Army and Navy, Merchants, Tradesmen, &c., have
been cured, and all may be.

EARLY SANITARY REGULA-
TIONS FOR LONDON.
From the "Report on the Sanitary Condition of the
Labouring Population of Great Britain.)
The following illustrations are from a collection of
records upon the sub;ect made by Mr. T. D. Hardy,
of the Record-office, in the Tower :
The first extract shows that sea-coal was in use in
London much earlier than is commonly supposed :
. " Patent Roll, 16 Edw. I.—The King to his be-
loved and faithful Thomas de Weylaund, John de
Luvetot, John de Cobeham, and Ralph de Sandwico,
Custos of his city of London, greeting : From the
complaint of many persons, we understand that many
people are dangerously aggrieved by the furnaces of
line which are built in the said city and its suburb;
and in Southwark ; because the lime which formerly
used to be burnt with wood, is now burnt with sea
coal, by which the air there is affected and corrupted,
to the great danger of persons frequenting those parts
and dwelling around them : we, therefore, being wil-
ling to afford a fitting remedy for this, have appointed
you to see those furnaces, and remove the danger and
nuisances which threaten from them in these days,
and to order further concerning them according to
your discretion, as you shall see most expedient for
the common use and safety ; and therefore we com-
mand you, that taking with you our sherifrg of Lon-
don and our bailiffs of Southwark, you perform the pre-
mists with diligence. We have also commanded the
same sheriffs and bailiffs that at a certain day, which
you shall make known to them, they attend to this
with you, in form aforesaid.—Witness, Edmund Earl
of Cornwall, at Westminster, on the 23th day of May."
" A.D. 1290, 18 Edw. I.—The Carmelite Friars of
London, the Friars-preachers, the Bishop of Salis-
bury, and others, petition Parliament to abate a nui-
sance (viz., a great stench) near them which they
cannot endure, and which prevents them from per-
forming their religious duties, and from which seve-
ral of the monks had died.—(Petit. in Parl.lB Edw. I.)
" 35 Edw, L—The Mayor of London is com-
manded to prevent persons from lightiv, furnaces near
the Tower of London during the stay of the Queen
and the nobles at the Tower, because the air is. cor-
rupted and infection generated by the insalubrity of
the air on account of the said furnaties,—(Rot. clans.
35 Edw. I.)
" A.D. 1320, 14 Edw. IL—The inhabitants of the
neighbourhood of Smithfield complain to Parliament
that wells and ditches are dug there without the
King's license, to the annoyance of the inhabitants
and passengers. The Mayor and Corporation of Lon-
don are thereupon ordered to see that such nuisances
are abated.—(Petit. in Purl. 14 Edw. II.)
" A.D. 1330, 4 Edw. lll.—The Chanatitlior and
University of Cambridge petition Parliament that the
Mayor and Corporation of Cambridge may be con-
strained to iioonr the ditch of the town, which is in-
jurious to the health of the inhabitants of the town.—
(Petit. in Parl. 4 Edw. III.)
" 44 Edw. lll.—The butchers of London are for-
bidden to slaughter cattle within that city, or throw
entrails into the river Thames, on forfeiture of the
carcase and imprisonment,----4Rot.claus. 44 Edw.III.)
" A.D. 1370, 3 Rich. IL—the inhabitants of Smith-
field and Holborn complain of the infection of the air
from butchers slaughtering cattle, &c., and casting en-
trails into the ditches.—(Petit. in Parl. 3 Rich. II.)
" By stat, 12th Rich. 11., c. 13.—None shall cast
any garbage or dung or filth into ditches, waters, or
other plaCes within or near any city or town) on pain
of punishment by the Lord Chancellor at his discretion.
fs Butchers of London shall erect a slaughter-house
on the bat ts of the Thames, and thither carry off
their offals, when cut into pieces, shall be car-
ried in boats, and at the con-irr,gncetnerit of the ebb cast
into the river.—(Rot. Purl. 16 Rich. II.)
" A,D. 1392, 16 Rich. IL—lt is enacted that the
butchers of London shall not slaughter therein any
swine or other bongs for sale. (Rot. Parl. 16
Rich. II.)
" Same date.—All filth, &c., ordered by Parliament
to be removed from both banks of the Thames be-
tween the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of

" Parliament forbids all persons from throwing
dung, garbage, or entrails of slaughtered beasts into
rivers or waters near cities or towns to corrupt the
air and cause infection.—(Rot. Claus, 4 Hen. IV.)
" The Chancellor is authorised to treat touching
the non-rebuilding of two forges in Fleet-street, Lon-
don, demolished in a riot, as straitening the said street."
—(Rot. Par), 18 Hen. VI.)"
The Courts, however,
have always had regard to
the convenience of trade: thus it was held—
" Si liornme fait candells deins un vill, per qui it
cause un noysona sent al inhabitants, uncore ceo nest
ascun nusans car le needfulness de eux dispensera ove
le noisomness del smell."—(2 Roll's Abr. 139.)
But this decision has been doubted, " Because,"
