TT is notorious that although London and a new large
.11- Cities and Towns are already lighted with Gu, many popt:lous
Places in the Country, though anxious to enjoy the same Advan-
tage, are either unable, from the want of the requisite Capital or
Information, or unwilling from the Apprehension of Failure, alone
to incur the trouble and expense attendant ou the origination of
New Establishments.
The Object of tile GENERAL Gas LIGHT COMPANY is to obviate
these difficulties, and to afford facilities, in the shape of Capital and
I Co-operation, to those Places which may be desirous of being sup-
plied with Gas, and may wish for the assistance of a Public lody,
in possession of whatever the combination of Capital, Skill, Science,
and Experience can contribute towards the attainment of that object.
The Capital of the Company is £600,000, divided into Shares of
£5O each. Of this sum '200,000 only will he raised in the first
instance, which has been subscribed; and the Directors have the
power to raise £lOO,OOO further,
.in Shares, which may be distri-
buted among-the Intabitants of such Places as may be lighted by,
or in conjunction with the Company. The remaining Capital of
.£500,000, to be raised hereafter, when it may be required.
It will appear from the Plan of this Institution, that it is not in-
tended to interfere with any of the Gas Companies now existing.
The Directors are ready to receive Propos..is from any Place for '1
the formation of a Gas Establishment, either jointly with the Inha-
bitants, or at the Company's sole risk and expense ; and it will be
their endeavour, in either case, to place the arrangements for that
purpose on such a basis of fairness and likerality, as shall make the
success of the different Establishments the common interest of all
Parties concerned.
Communications in writing, post-paid, may be addressed to the
Directors, at the Office of the Company, No. 4, King's Arms-yard,

MADAME GIRAUD'S WEANING LINIMENT,
for reducing the Milk when Children are taken from the
breast, for Milk Abscesses, and all kind of Inflammations, Bruises,
and Tumours to which the Breast is subject. This is a practice too
well known to Mothers and Nurses to need any comment. It is
also well known that it frequently proves very tedious and trouble-
some to reduce its natural secretions ; a variety of applications have
been resorted to for that purpose ; most of these Compositions are
in their operation very slow, and frequently very unpleasant. Ma-
dame GIKAI'D'S LINIMENT will be found to be a speedy. safe, and ef-
fectual application for the above purposes. Let the breast contain
what quantity of milk it may, in the space of three or four days it
will entirely disappear, and the breast become soft and supple.
Sold, by the Proprietor's appointment, at Mr. EDWA KIM'S Medi-
cine Warehouse, 67, on the footway, St. Paul's Church-yard, Lon.
