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 disorders 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 thah 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 previousi 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
valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents
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
alhnents, 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
swell, 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 jn-
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.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE . •

ADDRESS,FROM THE PROPIVIETOH. TO THE HUHITC.

PEN years have now elaps6cl since this Magazine was first
started ; and the Proprietor thinks that'he will not he
liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the
first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the
public. ' , . .
The Magazine which hears his name was ushered into the
world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary
announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc-
cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public
favour' accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its
unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the
literary talent which he, without vanity, may say, it has
always displayed from the !beginning. The stirring period
in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con-
tributed, to: the advancement of a Magazine
~Which never
scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing
events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and
spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating
course, could be always counted upon, wgether as ally or
enemy, in every emergency. It would, ArOwever, be unjust
to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list
comprises men of the highest talent in every department of
literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to
its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed
wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It
would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons
ever SP slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de-
served eminence and distinction will immediately occur • and
what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg-
ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any
name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which
it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of
party advocacy.

. •
The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which: alas !
in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have
invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his'original contri-
' butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many
others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes,
therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon
those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to
maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already
earned. With respect to politics, it is probable 'that the
years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than
those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume
the character of a political writer; but, in common with all
who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that
an eventful time.is at hand. In all the emergencies that may
be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten
years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the
same right onward course in the " forties" which it has main-
tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or
to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to
maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva-
tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and
our country. All who are connected with it feel that they
have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed
idle or insincere ; their conduct in years past affording a fair
guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come.
Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks forward,
with more than hope, to a still increasing, circulation. The
number of volumes, however—twenty—to which his Maga-
zine has extended, opposes, from their cost, an objection in
the minds of many to commencing subscriptions to a work,
of which, without considerable expense, they cannot obtain
a complete set. The proprietor, therefore, acting under the
advice of many friends, and yielding to several applications
made to him on the subject, has reduced the price from £l5,
the present cost of a full set, to £7 lOs ; for which he offers
twenty large volumes of carefully written articles on all the
subjects which have engrossed public attention during the
last ten years ; papers on the state, the strength, the relative
position of parties. To Conservative statesmen; of such
value as almost to be indispensable, and to their antagonists
of no small service, as showin,, the points on which we think
they can be most dangerously assailed. Essays of high
nterest in the Religious world, on the Protestant Church
Establishment Question; classical translations and disquisi-
tions of the highest order of learning and taste ; criticism
in abundance, on contemporary works and authors, on paint-
ing, sculpture, music, the drama, forming together a coni-
plete conspectus of the literature and art of the time ; poetry, I
tales, biographical sketches, antiquities, pleasantries, jeux-
d'esprit and all such other matters, grave or gay; •as can be
expected in miscellanies of, this kind, executed generally in
such a munner as to reflect credit on the genius, invention,
research, or wit of their writers, and calculated throughout
to nourish every virtuous feeling and religious sentiment,
and otherwise advance the moral welfare and happiness of
mankind.

In these twenty volumes will be found eighty-one separate
full-length Portraits of literary individuals. These alone are'
worth the price asked for the twenty volumes :
