The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle sti-
mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and

have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons
the appetite Is generally defective, and the relish of life is al-
most subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind
and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and partly
from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehen-
sions, areliable to sink despondently into a premature grave.
It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti-
cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM.
Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws
off viscid humours; whatever strengthens the general habit,
and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy
tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable
degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under certain mo-
difications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species
of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum
makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one
quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collate-
rally, to almost every other ; in short, the debility of nature
can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for
its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine
rich stimulating balsamic stomach qualities—its purification
of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the
nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become re-
stored to their proper power and functions. and the fallen
fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and dura-
tion, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to
sound and pristine health.
As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss
of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or
shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness of
breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful effi-
cacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually rernot ed
by its use.

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas,
and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs will, ere
long meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with
flesh, firm and healthy. _ _

Sold in Bottles, price u s, each, or the quantity of four in

Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual
fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be

"TAKING CARE OF THE MINUTES."—A recent American
paper narrates the following instance of the " improvement
of time : "—" A train of cars ran of the truck at Norwich,
Conn., a few days ago, which occasioned some delay. Dur-
ing the interim a lady and gentleman jumped out of the cars,
went to the nearest justice, and were married. They re-
turned in time for the cars, and resumed their journey."
Old Mr. Lefevre, the father of the present Speaker of the
House of Commons, and the principal founder of Currie and
Co.'s house on Cornhill, illustrated this theory of banking
one day to a customer in a significant manner. The customer
in question was one of those men who find it very convenient
to have bad memories. His account was almost always
over-drawn, and whenever spoken to upon the subject, his
answer was the same—he really had forgotten how it stood.
At last Mr. Lefevre, who had watched his opportunity,
caught him one day at the counter, and said to him, " Mr.
you and I must understand one another something.
better than we seem to do. I am afraid you don't know
what banking is : give me leave to tell you—it's my business
to take care of your money; but I find you are always taking
care of mine. Now, that is not banking, Mr.
must be the other way ; I'm the banker, not you ;—you uo.
; I'm sure you do !"—Banks

Tnt BALL THAT KILLED NELSON.—The musket-ball
which robbed England of ber great naval commander, the im-
mortal Nelson (says the Bath Herald), is now in possession
of the Rev. F. W. Baker, of Bathwick. It was fired it seems
(contrary to the received account), at random from the top
of the Redoubtable, by a French soldier named Robert Guil-
lemarde, who escaped unwounded, and when his ship struck
was taken on board the Victory..' The fatal bullet was not
discovered till the Victory arrived at Spithead. It bad struck
the fore part of the hero's epaulette, and entered his left
shoulder. It then descended obliquely into the thorax,
fracturing the second and third ribs, and after penetrating
the left lobe of the lungs and dividing a large branch of the
pulmonary artery, it entered the left side of the spines Pa_!!':
