" There are no diseases which have;more puzzled the faculty
than nervous complaints and insanity. Doctors have both
been unable to account for them and _to prescribe any means
Of cure. • This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the
clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his
theory of cure in a.very rational manner, and we feel certain
that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his able
assistance."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846.
" We' cordially recommend all nervous persons to submit
their cases to the skill of Mr. Adams, the author of a pamphlet
on Mind or Nervous Complaints and Insanity."—Fanner's
Journal, July, 11446.

FUND FOR THE TEMPORAL RELIEF OF THE
SUFFERING POOR OF IRELAND,
THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CLERGY
OF THE ESTABLISHED' CHURCH.

APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

" Mos° hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have
need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from hitn, how
dwelleth the love of God in him 7"--1 John iii. 17.
"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."—
Gal. vi. 10.

The COMMITTEE appointed so manage the above fund, in
this their third Address to the Christians of the United Empire,
beg leave to direct especial attention to the agency which they
have, from the first. been led to adopt, and which will, they
trust, continue to commend itself, as being at once 'simple,
inexpensive and efficient—they allude to the Clergy of the
Church of Ireland, upwards of two thousand of whom are
widely scattered over this country, even in its wildest and re-
motest parts. •
Calumniated as the religion of Protestants has been to our
Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen, it is surely a matter of.the
utmost moment that we should exhibit a practical refutation of
such slanders, and demonstrate to all, now in the period of Ire-
land's dire emergency, that ours is a "faith which worketh by
'love," even to enemies. This the Committee feel persuaded
can be effectually done by continuing to use the Clergy of the
Established Church as the dispensers of the bounty entrusted
to their care by their fellow. Christians. Thus, also, a gua-
rantee is given that none of theiifunds will be expended on
improper objects, or for the pronMtion of improper ends. •
The Committee, moreover, feel that svmpathy for the suffer-
ing clergy themselves requires this at their hands. • Placed in
the midst of a fiery trial of famine and disease, their houses
are-daily surrounded by dying multitudes,of all religious per-
suasions, who look up to them as their natural and tried bene-
factors. It surely becomes their brethren of the household of
faith to lighten, as far as may Hein their power, the heavy load
of anxiety under which them labour—anxiety for the spiritual,
as well as temporal, welfare of the perishing multitudes over
whom the providence of God has placed them, and who are
now brought, through his inscrutable wisdom and goodness, to
receive, with deeper attention than ever before, the lessons of
divine truth.

The Committee have received many testimonies, from differ-
ent parts of the country, to the value of their exertions, for
the necessity for the instrumentality they are employing. One
clergyman write's as follows:
"Will you convey to the committee my sincere thanks for
their aid. Through the assistance kind friends have given me,
I have been enabled to make myself felt as the rector of the
parish. ' I have two boilers established, six miles apart, in the
poorest districts of my parish. I have now a bakery at work
in the heart of a mountain district, thus giving the poor on the
mountains bread 3d. under the usual price, besides saving them
a walk of fourteen or fifteen miles. A second bakery will be
set up in a few clays. I gave free tickets on our poor kitchen
to many—to Widows, to the sick, to families, no member of
which was earning wages. Fever rages. The money entrusted
to me has saved • Many lives. The whole of the money raised
for the soup kitchen. and for relieving the sick poor, has been
placed at my sole disposal. I have asked a most worthy pa_.
rishioner to be my treasurer. He, his wife, and 1, manage the'
money. Your committee will believe, that administering nearly
individual relief, 'in a parish of upwards of 2.5,000 acres, is a
matter of no light labour."

The Committee deem it unnecessary, in their present appeal,
to adduce further proof of a fact, now by all admitted, that
calamity, on a national scale, and of unparalleled severity, has
befallen the land. Their earnest prayer is, that national re-
pentance and humiliation may in time ensue, "teat some worse
thing come upon us." In conclusion, they desire it, to be tin;
dtirstood; that the benAts of this fund are not confined to any
district, or to professors of any particular creed, but are de-
signed to be coextensive with the misiTy that prevails. CAN
