REAL and SEVERE AFFLICTION—A GEN-
TLEMAN, considerably advanced in Years, who hitherto,
by his literary qualifications (though deteriorated by accumulated
infirmity), has supported himself with 'decency and comfort, is
latterly reduced, by a considerable increase of those afflicting dis-
pensations, to an extreme state of physical debility and pecuniary
indigence. He was regularly engaged for many years in a par-
ticular department of POLITICAL Literature, but which, from long
continued and severely diseased eyes, he was, some time since,
constrained to decline. After long struggling against the twgfold
calamity, destitution of employment and increased expense,
through his physical afflictions, the latter were most seriously ag-
gravated by an Apoplectic attack in December last, which though
the fit was providentially surmounted, still injuriously affects him.
His pecuniary resources being thus completely exhausted, he is
tncler the necessity of appealing (which he does with humble con-
fidence) to the liberal and compassionate sympathies, and to that
discriminating benevolence, which laudably characterise so many in-
dividuals of the Hamm Punic, submissively intreating those under
such benign influences, to contribute to his assistance and relief.
Benefactions will be received by Thomas Copeland, Esq. No. 4,
Golden-square; by Robert George Clarke, Esq. No. 5, Craven,-
street, Strand; and by Mr. Mitchell, No. 138, St. Martin's-lane;
to which Gentlemen, among others, the circumstances of the Ad-
vertiser's case are well known ; and who has to return his sincere
Thanks and grateful Acknowledgments as follow :—To

.FAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for 1
-A-4 curing, in all its stages, the VENEREAL DISEASE
One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
ease, will soon convince the patient of the certainty of leis speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it
vrili eff.xt a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods
avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronica !Disorders,
this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons
of both sexes have been radically cured of the above cruel disor-
ders, within the last eight years. Prepared and sold by the sole
Proprietors, T. TAYLOR :Ind SON, Members of the Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons, at their Housu, No. 9, New Bridge-street, in
Boxes of only 9s. 9d. each, duty included.— N. B. Two back
doors, and Lights in the Passages at night.—They are also sold,
