Just published, new Editions of

THE MORNING and EVENING SACRIFICE;
or Prayers for private Persons 'and Families, beautifully
printed in post Bvo. 10s. 6d. and demy 12mo. ss. 6d. boards.
—" The language of these Prayers is pure, and much more
simple and becoming than that of any similar work which has
yet fallen under our eye."—Scottish Episcopal Review and
Magazine.
—" We conclude with strongly recommending the Morning
and Evening Sacrifice as a book eminently calculated to pro.
mute either private or family devotion, and which cannot fail to
elevate the minds of all who peruse it with sincerity and atten-
tion."—Monthly Literary Register.
" As to the volume before us, it is a highly respectable per-
formance in every point of view. The forms of devotion are
preceded by two discourses on the Lord's Prayer, written with
great neatness, and ably illustrating the different petitions in that
compendium. And, indeed, the whole book must form a power-
ful rival to the Prayers of Smith and Jay, lately published."—

" Mr. Hobbes, of Malmesbury, thought the accumulation of
details a hindrance of learning ; and used to wish that all the
books in the world were embarked in one ship, and that he
might be permitted to bore a hole in its bottom. He was right
in one sense ; for the disquisitions and treatises with which our
libraries are filled, are often merely the husks and shells of know-
ledge; but it would be to be wished, that, before he were per-
mitted to bore his hole, some literary analyins should select all
the facts, recipes, and prescriptions useful to man, and condense
them into a portable volume."—Locis.

AN INFALLIBLE MEDICINE FOR THE REMOVAL
OF ALL INTESTINAL WORMS.
IT has been too fatally observed that the drastic
operation of the usual Antlielminctics not unoften leaves
the constitution of a Worm-Patient more debilitated and irri-
table than before their exhibition; thus exemplifying the homely
truth, that" the remedy is worse than the disease;"—but the
cure is seldom effected—and in the list of the " epprobria medico-
runt," diszascs arising from worms display an awful predominance.
In early infancy, convulsions, fever, watery-head, and other
fearful maladies are often only the effects of wornu, the re-
moval of which would so mitigate the symptoms as to ensure a
mild treatment of at; otherwise doubtful ease. To a Mother's
anxiety this assurance will impart no small consolation—and to
the adult patient, whose hopes have been long mocked and at
length desolated by delay' and disappointment, this prospect of
certain relief will cheer him to the ttlal of an inestimable remedy.
Mr. Cnamanntrisis's Preparations of CO WHA OE are mild and
innocuous, have art operation purely mechanical, are sanctioned
by the most eminent of the Faculty, and his Tteatise de the
subject contains testimonials highly honourable to his practice.
It is published at 20, Paternoster-row. The Medicine mat be
procured at No. 5, Wellington-street, Strand, London; in Pots,
at 4s. 6d. and 9s. each—the latter for the Tape-worm.
j Country Patients, by enclosing a ask-cote,, will receive the
balance in the parcel containing the Medicine.

TO A GREAT MANUFACTURER, •
IN ST. GEORGE'S-FIELDS.
T SING not of heroic ire,
1 A humbler willing theme I choose;
I sing of what you all admire,
I sing—and help me every Muse—
Of Turner's Dye for blacking shoes.
Its qualities unequall'd shine,
Both high and low this Blacking use,
He ranks the first in all his line.
Many indulge the fond conceit,
That rich attire will credit bring;
But far more polish'd they, and.neat,
Who use the Blacking that I sing.
Gay as the lark in blooming spring,
The youth and maid will then appear,
Because from Turner's polishing,
Their boots and shoes shine bright and clear.
Most highly favour'd sure is he,
Who by the shining of his boot,
Charms the fair damsel, so that she
Coyly accepts his modest suit.
And happy the man beyond dispute
Who found this potent way to Charm,
And whilst he glosses shoe or boot, •
Can keep the leather free from harm.
• Turner, the lustre of your art
Gives real brilliance to your name,
Though aiming not at head or heart,
Yet your's is sure a polish'd fame.
Well may the master vet'd complain,
If on his shoes the lustre slacking,
Turner—have you forgot the name ?
You know I order'd Turner's Blacking.
What wretched mixture have you brought?
Will this keep out the rain or snow?
You know it is not worth a groat,
And common sense must tell you so.
Give me the Blacking that will shine,
Though water fall and snow comes down ;
But as for this, it may be thine,
'Twill suit a rusticated clown.
He walks in brightness who steps forth
. With Turner. Blacking on his shoes;
• Nay, stranger shall he be to mirth,
And love and beauty's smiles profuse,
Fit only for the mire or stews,
Who in fine weather plods his way,
And takes no thought or makes no use
Of Turner's splendid bright display. •
In London-road the Factory stands,
'The Exportation Warehouse seek,
But agencies are all at hand, '
In every town and every creek.
Then sing of Turner all the week,
And sport his Blacking every day,
'l'is cheap and good, and truth to speak,
Turnefs as grateful as you're gay !
Take notice, this Blacking may be had Wholesale and Retail,
at the Exportation Warehouse, 114, London•toad, Southwark;
and by all the Grocers, Perfumers, Oilmen, and Boot-makers
in the Metropolis, and every Town in England.
-USE TURNER'S •
BLACKING.
