AMESBURY'S PATENT BODY SUPPORTS.—These
Supports are used instead of Stays and Corsets, which are
1 injurious to the natural form and development of the Body.
When the PATENT BODY SUPPORTS are used for the ordi-
nary purposes for which Stays and Corsets are employed,
they afford effectual support to the Body, and at the same
time exert a preservative influence, tending thereby to guard
the Spine and Chest against Deformity, and to prevent un-
natural fulness of the Abdomen. They are also applied so as
to produce a curative action whenever this is required, by
which they alleviate and correct many of the defects and
weaknesses to which the human spine, chest, and abdomen
are liable. They are made in three varieties, to suit the
various conditions of the Body in the single and married
state.—lnvented by JOSEPH AMESBURY, Surgeon, London,

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the . •
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of pru• nce
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the v; ulti-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an •nf- 'led con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual ; ids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, an their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disordeis of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But
the relief the ORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his narents
the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy-
riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

THE great objects of this Institution are twofold. First—
The establishment, by the Clergy and Laity of the
Church of England, of a mode of executing Trusts and
effecting Insurances with new features, embracing sickness
and old age—not upon any pretended reduction of price
from the old and sound offices, but upon a basis of certainty
and respectability, giving confidence to the Public, and add-
ing strength to the Company.
Secondly—To provide a Fund, by appropriating one-tenth
of the profits, to relieve the Families of Deceased Clergymen
recommended by the Diocesans, and to Insure the Lives of
all Clergymen without profit, which will be at a reduction of
from 25 to 30 per cent. on the average.
The Dissenters have their Insurance Company, the Roman
Catholics have their Trust Association ; it will soon be seen
that the Church of England can have both, to an extent
vastly beyond either the one or the other.
Tables, by an eminent Mathematician, are prepared, and
will speedily be published, with the List of the Patrons, when
it is completed ; in the meantime, Shares, Agencies, and
information may be applied for, by addressing E. M. ELDER-
TON, Esq., No. 4, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, London ; or

It is the best composition for cleaning the teeth, preserving

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitantg of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an,Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, ght doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill he cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral AI oratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is p aced into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting
all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM TAKING MORISON'S PILLS.—
A lengthened inquiry took place on Saturday afternoon, at
the Rising Sun, Castle-street, Long Acre, before Mr. Gell
(assisted by Mr. Higgs,) relative to the death of James
Mallan, aged 26, son of Mr. Malian, hatter, of Charles-
court, Strand, and whose death, it was alleged, was caused
by taking Morison's pills. It appeared that for a period of
fifteen years the deceased had been occasionally indisposed,
his complaint being rheumatic gout, and that he had been in
the habit of taking the pills for the last three or four years.
Mr. James Leonard, surgeon, of St. Martin's parish, stated
that when he was called in he found the deceased in a state
of great exhaustion, with a feeble pulse ; witness was in-
formed that the deceased had been in the habit of taking
quantities of Morison's pills ; every thing was done for him,
but nothing proved of, any avail. On a post mortem exami-
nation of the body, the stomach was found in a highly-
inflamed state. The death of the young man was produced
by exhaustion, caused by excessive purging. Coroner.—
In your opinion, did the pills which the deceased took cause
the purging which ended in death ? Mr. Leonard.—Deci-
dedly so ; the introduction of an acrid matter into the
stomach would occasion the purging. Mr. Bainbridge,
another surgeon, corroborated the above medical testimony.
The jury, after strongly animadverting upon the dangerous
practice of taking the pills, returned a verdict—That the de-
ceased died from the effects of taking Morison's pills.,
MOST IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL OF LIEUT. MASTERS,
H. P. LATE OF THE ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND VETERAN
COMPANIES.
(CERTIFICATE.) St. John's, Neu:found/and,
2t
Conformably to a Garrison Orderl
dated 9th March, 1838,
for the assembly of a Medical Board, to take into considera-
tion the state of health of Lieut. Masters, R.V.C., and to
report accordingly. We, the undersigned, Staff Officer and
Civil Practitioner, forming the hoard authorised by that
order, after a strict examination of the case of Lieutenant
Masters, consider him as entirely unfit fo military duty.—
Lieutenant Masters has for several years afflicted with
Rheumatic Gout, which has produced ' ions functionary
derangements of his stomach, liver, a ' other viscera, and
johzt
finally given rise to infirmity, weakness, and enlargement of
the articulations, especially of the ancle joints ; his genefal
health and constitution is much impaired, and, therefore, in
our opinion, he is incapable of further service.

LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS TO MR. PROUT, 229,Surgeon STRAND,

• LONDON.
Hawley, near Bagshot, 1-Ith Jan., 1840.
SlR,—Considering that the public would be greatly bene-
fited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I
have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I
herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical
Certificate, by which I was invalided. 1 was first attacked
with Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I
was under the treatment of the late Drs. Rod, Horner, and
Jacobs, as well as by the present'Dr. Davis, all of Hamp_
stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at Ft. John's, Newfound-
land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com-
panies, where I suffered most severely, and was under the
care of Surgeon Hewson, R.V.C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon
Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without
being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three
or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the
Garrison Order for the Medical Order, as before named.
About the middle of last February and the whole of March
my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unable to move
without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near
Farnham, a magistrate of this county, kindlycornnfisserating
my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my affi-
i davit, that I might receive my half-pay
; and seeing. me in
so miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he knew
several who had derived benefit from them. I had previously
been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Aldershot,
to try them, but I declined until the Major recommended
them. I commenced by taking them according to the direc-
tions ; and, after taking six pills, found a cessation of all
pain, and the remainder of the box effectually settled that fit.
I have since had several attacks, but as soon as I feel the
least sensation of the disease I
take the pills, which have at
once removed all symptoms. I may also mention that the
chalk which had formed on my
ears 1
where it formed in my fingers
is
decrea'asisngd.isat eared and
disappeared,
ceased
to have those very weakening perspirations to which I was
subject before trying the pills.
Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St.
John's, Newfoundland, where my sufferings were known,
and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout,
you will vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
JOHN MASTERS,
Lieut. 14. P. Royal Newfoundland Voter= Commies,
