" Secondly, that we may be fully certified that we have the
pure doctrine cr the Gospel; of which, certainly, the Pope
cannot glory; in whose kingdom, though al pings else were

p. 18.

" ' Blind and Naked' writes forcibly, but we would rather he
would let the dead rest, and talk about the living. The Bishop
of London, in his recent charge to the clergy, has furnished
such a writer with ample materials. If the Right Reverend
Father in God had wanted to uproot the Church of England,
and establish the Church of Rome upon its ruins, he could not
have set about the matter in a better way," &c. &c.—Gospel
Magazine, November, 1842.

tically the Magazine for a FAMILY. Its pages present some-
thing for all ; there is no member of the domestic circle for-
gotten, and no class of Society overlooked. It is ITSELF a
Gentleman's Magazine, a Lady's Magazine, a Servant's Maga-
zine, and a Working Man's Friend. It is a Mother's Magazine,.
a Youth's Magazine, and a Child's Companion. It is, as its
title correctly declares, a Magazine of Domestic Economy,,
Entertainment, Instruction, and Practical Science.' We have
received it into our home circle with great pleasure, for it is
not only a Family Visitor, but really a Family FRIEND. We
cannot describe its contents, they are an omnium gatherumr
a repertory of things pleasant and profitable, of things gay and
grave; selected with remarkably good taste, and edited with
much tact and judgment. It is a work capitally adapted ter
cheer the happy fireside of home, and to aid the development
of social affection."--=Bradford Observer.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The followincn testimonials is another proof of the great
efficacy of this Medicine :

157, New Bond-street, London, October 12th, 1850.
Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have
experienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC
PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion
of the public who may be similarly afflicted.
About twenty years since I was first attacked by Rheumatic
Gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected
to every variety of climate having served in Canada in the 19th
Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th
Hussars. 1 always procured the best medica 11, but without
obtaining any essential relief, and my su ngs can be appre-
ciated only by those who know sometif of this disease.
It was during one of those paroxy s, between twelve and
thirteen years ago, that I was rec Amended to try BLAIR'S
PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had
taken that quantity the painyad entirely ceased, and in a few
days I was in perfect health:
From that moment w enever I feel any symptoms of the
disease approaching, I ve instant recourse to this Medicine,
which to me is so v able that were it not that the days of
magic have ceas , I should certainly attribute the relief I
obtain to that c se. Aloreover,l rejoice to say that my health
has not in any egree suffered, but on the contrary I believe
the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement.
I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.—l am, sir,
yours respectfully, GARRET FOSTER GILL.

To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
For Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic-Doloreux,
pains in the head and face, and all analagous complaints, it is a
sovereign remedy; and the speedy relief afforded in this in-
stance is parallel with the testimonials of The late Rev. Dr.
Blomberg, of Misperton Hall, Rector of Cripplegate, London,
and Chaplain to his Majesty William the Fourth; John Molard
Wheeler, Esq., of Jamaica, transmitted by his brother at Swin-
don; John James 'Giles, Esq., Frimley, Surrey; R. Mandell,
Esq., Coroner, Doncaster ; Mr. Courtney, Barton Stacey,
Hants; Mr. Cosher, Beaconsfield; Mr. Yates, traveller to
Messrs. Day and Martin, London; Mr. Nasmyth, 208, Picca-
dilly, London ; Mr. Dixon and Mr. Blake, Kingscliffe, North-
amptonshire; and that extraordinary case of Lieut. Masters,
of the Veteran Battalion, Newfoundland ; and many others
whose particular cases have been already published, and were
given unsolicited to assure sufferers by Gout, Rheumatism, &c.,
that speedy relief may be obtained by taking this Medicine.
The respectability of BLAIR'S PILLS rests in a great degree
upon the truth of its testimonials, and the strictest inquiry is
solicited into all that has been published.
Sold by THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London ; and all re-
spectable Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
