DOMBEY AND DAUGHTER,

UNDER this title is now being Published, in Weekly
Numbers, price One Penny, and Monthly Parts, price
Sixpence, an ORIGINAL NOVI,L, from the pen of one of the
most distinguished periodical writers of the day. This work,
although produced at so low a charge, is in literary merit in no
way infenor to Mr. Dickens's work of Dombey and Son. Those
who read Dombey and Son should most assuredly purchase
Dombey and Daughter—it will be found no mean companion in
the library of instruction—it is written in a vein of elevated
Morality—in the true spirit of the philanthropist. The purchase
of the first number with One Penny will prove the truth of this
announcement. To be had of all Booksellers and News-
vendors.

A. PAMPHLET "On the GREATEST DISCOVERY
is th of the AGE," (says ComunE,) that is, ".that,the BRAIN
seat of all Nervous or Mental Complaints. ' This was
y Dr. Willis Mosele treatmentg University,) before
„ “.1, and on his successful of these complaints, with
,a_aluses, testimonials, &c., and will frank it to every address if a
L'p is enclosed to 18, Bloomsbury-street, Bedford-square,
London.
And if 16 stamps are sent. he will return the sth edition of
his lar,e work, 12 CHAPTERS on the CURE of NERVOUS or
]FIND COM PLAINTS, with a Chapter on Self-management.
This work is declared by Professor Savage, Surgeon-, to be the
best book we have on Nervousness. At home from 11 to 3.
This GREAT ANATOMICAL DISCOVERY was followed by
his second great discovery. The means of reinoviiir, all Ner-
vous or Mental Disease. By these discoveries he cured himself
of a deep rooted Nervous Complaint of 14 years duration. And,
RS 30 years ago nobody could cure these complaints, or can
now, but himself, he has for 30 years cured them from benevo-
lence rather than gain ; and, out of .14,000 nobles, nobleses,
M.P.'s, admirals, generals, barristers, clergymen, physicians,
surgeons, tradesmen, &c. &c., he knows not 20 uncured who
have followed 'his advice. All therefore may now apply per-
sonally, or by letter, with more confidence of a cure than of
tooth ache, and especially of mental depression, debility and
,exhaustion, delusions, blood to the head, vertigo, groundless
'ear, failure of memory, incapacity for study, business, &c.,
inquietude, wretchedness, indecision, melancholy, thoughts of
self-destruction, involuntary blushing, blasphemous thoughts,
sleeplessness, &c. Insanity can be cured with almost equal
certainty. •
"THE GREATEST BENEFIT MAN CAN BESTOW ON MAN IS
TO EASE AND HEAL HIS DISTRESSED MIND."
This has been the delightful employment of the Rev. Dr.
Willis Mosely for 30 years ; and among the thousands he has
cured of Nervousness, he with pleasure names a late Member
Of Parliament, who after having 30 physicians in vain for five
Years, avowed his cure, and presented the Doctor with a check
of .0'250, and a niece of the late Lord Hill, who had been ner-
vous 30 years, Sir J. B— the wife of Capt. S---d, Sir David
