THE OFINCINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS.

'THE Depot for this useful Spring and Autumn Al-
terative i‘ No. 52, teraer's-street, Oxford-street, where it
is prepared according to the recipe c.f the late Mr. SiNtlillSOU, en-
trusted to his Nephew aid Successor, Mr. Thomas Canhain, alone.
Among ail the iNiedieines of this cemunination the VEGETABLE
SYRUP of DE "VE.LNOS has obtained a distinction which its
effuse, alone cdn support. It corrects and purities the blood; and
!hose who are afflicted with scrofula, lepu.s.,y, scurvy, and many of
ihose melancholy diseases arising from impurity of the blood and
vices; those wl, o suffer by diseased liver, or f:urn the indiscretions
-,f their youth, or whose coustitutions are hrt•k.n down by 11V-fell-
: ial, antimorial, or arsenic iredicines, should su:stnit to a course of
the Veeetahle Syrup. The ef:vet of this medicine is such as not to
interrupt either business or pleasure•, and requires only the common
restraints of moderation in diet• It is conveyed by the circulating
fluids, and corrects their tendencies to all those diseases which►
originate in vitiated blood. It is .1 safe, though a posVeriul sqlssti-
Nte for mercury, and removes those evils which au unsoccutsfeil use
of that ntineial occasions.

THE LATE MR- DOWDICiL
lIE Public has recently learnt' the death of Mr.
Bo*DlcH, the AYSICAPI TRAfti:ttlt, who it afspeats has
•falled; at the'eadY'age of thirty, in the cause to whkh he had de-
voted himself, leaving a Widow and Three young Children totally
nnprovided for.
Attached to her Husband, no less by the congeniality of taste
than by the most devoted aff.ction, Mrs. llowdich was Ids almost
constant companion in Africa, the sharer of his perils; and the hide-
fatigable assistant of his literary labours.
The letter in which she annountes her bereavement, thus depicts
her situation
" I am about to try your friendship, dear Sir, in a thousand
" ways, for I am now alone in • the world,'svidowed and unpro-
" tected. Your friend expired on the 10th of January, after suffer-
" ing a fortnight in the Gambia fever ; all human aid was tried,
" but his extreme impatience to get well, his annoyance at the in-
" terruption of his pu:suits, and his want of faith in the remedies
" prescribed, proved too mighty for his strength, and he hat fallen
" a victim to the cause for which alone he I dare not
" expatiate on my oivn loss, yen can well imagine its magnitude,
" as you are aware of my forlorn situation; I feel as it were
" stunned by its Weight, but manage to keep up fcr tile sake of
"my three children; now totally dependent on me. toe time
" is corning when I shall feel it even more, for now I am sur-
" rounded by kindness only, particularly in the person of Captain-
" Findlay, the common:ant here, who has acted like a father to
" me And mine.
" my duty to adiniMster to his effect', whatever tisk I run its so
" doing. A will not arrest roe, I suppose, but I fear . and C;
" however, time will, I hope; enable me to liquidate the few debts
" behind, if that time is but allowed me. I hope, looking to
" my own support. through .`..7 and df, to get employed in different
" works in natural history, setti .g rip as an artist In that line. Gnu
" grant me success, I ant net fit fur anything else, and if I am
" supported by health and friends, I may yet know comporatisise
happiness in endeavouring to mike my children worthy of the
" noble and generous soul which is now with its Ctervrenc. I shall
" return, or at least hope to set oLi,in the brig James, Capt. Smith,
" at the end of April, which will be the :irst opportunity by which
" I can convey my family."
It will thus be seen that Mrs. Bowdich is returning to England
in a state of destitution, net only to struggle with the visissitudes
attending the precarious employment which she has yet to seek, as
the means of supporting her (artily, but also in apprehension of
personal inconvenience.
L'.sder thete circtitustances, therefore, some of the friends of the
late 3lr. Bowdich have concluded to appeal, on behalf of his Wi-
dow and Children, to the good feeling of those who can appreciate
the disinterested devotionatf life and talent to a noble object, or who,
having the interests of Science and Literature at heart, r ..ognize in
the circumstances of Mr. Bowdich's death, and the consequent si-
tuation of his family, a claim upon their liberality.
Were Mrs. Bowdich in England, it is probable that even the ex-
tremities of her care would not conquer her repugnance to the
mode of relief which is now resorted to, but as het arrival cannot
take place for some weeks, an opportunity is thus afforded of re-
conciling the effects of sympathy with a just regard to her fre:ings ;
and it is earnestly hoped that, wherever there exists the ability,
there will also he the inclination to rescue front the bitterness of
penury, the family of an individual who, in seeking the advance-
ment of Science, has sunk into an tit:timely grave.
