"YANG,"
THE CENTRAL FIRE

WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal/headed
the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the Eifilish—Trade
resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PID ING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country-
men had been duped : and he predicted that; " though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he wou4l never pay a dollar ;
that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea;" and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S ; and they see that APTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and :that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
aloneimports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so
that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME.".

This they havenoijetforged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-
tain Pidding, 22, College-hill, London.

FOR COUGHS, COLDS, AND ASTHNIAS.
EGGLESTON'S OXYMEL OF HOREHOUND has
the extraordinary property of giving immediate relief
in all asthmatic and consumptive cases, hoarseness, difficulty
of breathing, &c., promoting gentle expectoration, giving
ease and freedom to the lungs, and is justly considered un-
rivalled as an universal family medicine. Those who are
deprived of rest at night by incessant coughing, will, by
taking one dose, find immediate ease, and a small bottle in
most cases will effect a cure.—Sold in bottles, at Is. lid. and
2s. 9d. each ; the 2s. 9d. size containing four of the smaller
ones. The Genuine Oxymel is sold only by
J. V. EGGLESTON, CHEMIST,
52, COPPERAS-HILL, corner of Rupert-st., Liverpool.

TO OTII ACHE.
When fever burns, or azue freezes,
It heutnatism gnaws, or cholic squeezes,
Our neighbour's sympathy may ease us,
Wi' pitying moan ;
But thee—thou hell o' a' diseases
Ay mocks our groan.—BuuNs.
TOOTH ACHE CURED IN A MINUTE !
EGGEESTON'S VEGETABLE PASTE, a permanent
and instant cure for the most agonising tooth-ache. This
truly valuable and innocent nerve-killer, composed entirely
of vegetables, without the admixture of anything pernicious
to the teeth, is the only remedy ever discovered to effect that
great desideratum, since the creation, viz., the cure of tooth-
ache, arising from whatever cause, without that destructive
and dangerous operation, extraction.
" We, the undersigned, passengers on board the packet-
ship Fairfield, from Liverpool to New York, being very much
troubled with tooth-ache, found immediate relief from the
use of Eggieston's Vegetable Paste, and can with confidence
recommend it.

" Sir,-1 have used your Vegetable Paste with the greatest
success amongst several hundred passengers, and in scarcely
a single instance has it failed of an instantaneous cure ; I
can, therefore, strongly recommend it to any person suffering
from tooth-ache.—Yours truly,
" R. DAWBARN,
" First officer of the Packet-ship Fairfield.
" To Mr. Eggleston."
" We can, from experience, highly recommend Mr. Eg-
gleston's Vegetable Paste, as a cure for the tooth-ache."—

J. V. EGGLESTON, Chemist, 52, Copperas-hill, Liverpool,
