RUPTURES.
MR. DAVID TODD, SURGEON, Author of " A
Treatise on the Organ of Hearing," and of a brief
Essay upon Hernia or Rupture, 5, UPPER FITZROY- STREET,
FITZROY-SQUARE, LONDON, the Inventor of an IMPROVED
TRUSS, may be consulted every Morning from Nine till
Twelve, and every Evening from Six till Ten o'clock. Country
applicants who cannot without inconvenience visit London, are
required to send him the following particulars :--The exact
measure around the body above the hip bones, and the magni-
tude, duration, and side of the Rupture. Price 2s. to be paid
by postoffice order, at the office, Tottenham-court-road, London,
when the order is given, and the Truss will be forwarded in
two days.
"We have seen this Truss in use. It is an exceedingly sim-
ple clever instrument, and may be worn with extreme ease, and
the best possible effect."—Lancet, July 4th, 1846.
" Mr. Todd's Truss, we think, will supersede those now in
ordinary use. It is extremely simple, requiring no straps or
other auxiliaries to adjust it, and does not weigh more than
three ounces ; and, we understand, it is approved and recom-
mended by the faculty."--Weekly Dispatch. • -
N.B. Mr. T. has no Agent for the sale of the Truss,-every
one being made to order, and warranted to fit the wearer.
*** Mr. Todd's Essay upon Hernia, may be obtained by
ans remitting three penny post stamps, o Mr. T. Smith, 4
Baufort-buildings, Strand, London, who will forward the Essay
by return of post.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronized by the British stud other Go-
vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the principal Dock
Companies, most public bodies, and by the Nobility, Gentry,
and Clergy,
.for out-door work at their country seats. The
Anti-Corrosion is particularly recommended as the most dura-
ble out-door Paint ever invented, for the preservation of every
description of Iron, Wood, Stolle, Brick, Compo, Cement, &c.
work, as has been proved by the practical test of upwards of 60
years, and by the numerous testimonials (between 300 arid 400)
in its favour, and which, from the rank and station in society
of those who have given them, have perhaps never yet been
equalled by any thing of the kind hitherto brought before the
public notice.
Lists of Prices, Colours, and other particulars, will be for-
warded on application to WALTER CARSON, 15, Tokenhouse-
yard, back of the Bank of England, London.—No Agents.

PURE CASTOR OIL
Administered by means of the Patent Capsules.
THIS valuable Medicine can now be taken by persons
of delicate habits, without their experiencing that nausea
which is so often an obstacle to its being administered at all.
A small quantity of the Castor Oil is inclosed in a flexible Cap-
sule or Envelope, formed of thin Membrane. Two, three, or
more of these Capsules constitute a dose, according to age and
other circumstances. They are swallowed without any diffi-
culty, and are wholly tasteless. Turpentine and other Medicines
of a nauseous kind are equally capable of being thus pleasantly
taken when enveloped in the membraneous Capsule.
These Capsules may now be had of Evans and Lescher, Pa-
tentees, London • also of Evans, Son, and Co., Liverpool,
Wholesale and Shipping Agents • and retail of Priestley, Lord
street ; Fisher, Bold-street ; Rawle, Church-street,- LathburY,
Castle-street ; Aspinall, St. James's-street ; Jones, Berry-
street ;
Williams, St. Anne-street ; Bark, Great Howard-street;

BINYON'S ELASTIC CHEST EXPANDER.
STOOPING of the SHOULDERS and CONTRAC-
TION of the CHEST are entirely prevented, and gently
and effectually removed in Youth, and Ladies and Gentlemen,
by the occasional use of the IMPROVED ELASTIC CHEST
EXPANDER, which is light, simple, easily applied, either
above or beneath the dress, and worn without any uncomforta-
ble constraint or impediment to exercise. To Young Persons
especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an
evident IMPROVEMENT in the FIGURE, and tending greatly
to prevent the incursion of PULMONARY DISEASES; whilst
to the Invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pursuits,
such as Reading or Studying,-Working, Drawing, or Music, it
is found to be invaluable, as it expands the Chest and affords a
great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be for-
warded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BiNYONe Sole Manufacturer
and 'Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock-street, ovent-garden, Lou-
do ii ; or full particulars, with Prices and Mode of Measurement,
&c., on receipt of a Postage Stamp.
