DDITIONAL TESTIMONIAL of the valuable
./-1_ medicinal properties of FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH forwarded to Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, from
W. Smith, Esq.:—
" 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton, London,
10th May, 1852.
" Sir,—Ten years ago I was induced to give you my opinion,
founded on experience of the merits of Frampton's Pill of
Health. I am pleased at your having published that plain
statement, by which I hope others have been induced to try so
effective a medicine.

" Anxious cares and the neglect of my old tried friend during
the early part of this year had produced symptoms of uneasi-
ness which I found it prudent no longer to neglect ; and I am
delighted to say that a few doses of the pills, under the blessing
of divine providence, has removed, and I am again as well as I
ever was in my life.
"Please forward me the usual supply of half a dozen family
which I may safely term my medicine chest for self and
family; and I hold it a duty to omit no opportunity of thus
giving to you proofs of my experience of the valuable proper.
ties of this medicine. " Wm. SMITH."

These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs,
Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the
Urinary Passages; and, if taken after too free an indulgence
at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of
repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-
ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising
from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be
without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely
carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are
most truly excellent, removing all Obstructions, the distressing
Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex ; Depression of Spi-
rits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples,
and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile
bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently
recommended as the best medicine that can be taken during
pregnancy; and for children of all ages they are unequalled.
As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom-
mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect.
By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of
the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either
sex, that can he required.

THE BUDGET.

THE debate on the Income Tax, after three ad-
journments, was resumed last night, and had not
concluded when we went to press with our First
Edition. The division, it was expected, would take
place this morning. it will be observed that the
integrity of the Budget has been already destroyed,
as Mr. GLADSTONE has promised to re-consider his
new licensing scheme. Re-consideration may do
much for other parts of it.
