SIR,--I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from

move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he bad applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days. my troublesome companion began to dis-

appear; in a week I was capable of walling abiantmy room
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi,

"Stu,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was

compelled to be-confined by ii strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from-the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,

Mr. Lov.?, the first ventriloquist of the day, gave the
second of his entertainments yesterday evening, at the
Assembly-rooms, Grt at George's-street. The attendance
was numerous and highly respectable, and the perform-
ance went off admirably.

THEATRE ROYAL —The visitors of this theatre during
the past week have been by no means scanty, and if we
may judge the satisfaction they hare felt from' the ap-
plause they have bestowed on Mr. Jacobs' performances,
it has been great inched. This wizard of wizards has

nightly given an entertainment that defies description, for
the feats be accomplishes in necromancy are so adroitly

rsecuted, that, to say the least, they leave the most acute
in wonder and astonishment—impossibilities appearing re-
alities. In ventriloquism, Mr. Jacobs is also excellent ;
and lir. Bateman, a talented delineator of the Neero

character, has added greatly to the amusements of

LAM OF RZSISTANCH WO LocomorroN.—At the re-
cent meeting of the British Association, a paper was read
on this subject by Mr. Scott Russell, which to those tvho
have not siudied the subject, must be curiously interest-
ing. Itis a natural supposition, that the greater the .ve-
locity of a body in rapid motion (such as a railway train),
the greater the proportionate atmospheric and tractic re-
sistance it has to encounter ; but the experiments of Mr.
Russell and,caters—which have eitended over six years,
and have been made upon various lines—completely over-
turn such a notion. It is shown, that while the resistance
in pounds per ton to a train travelling at the rate of 31
miles per hour is as 23'30, the resistance at 32 miles per
hour is only as 18'201bs per ton ; and, what is even more
surprising, the resistance at a speed of 45 miles per hour
is as 21'70, or above 2lbs per ton hss than that opposed
to a train going at 31 miles per hour. The amount of re-
sistance at 41 is nearly the same as that at 51 miles per
hour, or about ^" Although these figures

are ascertained to be correct by a formula of calculation
