"A very judicious mixture of light and solid reading."-Atlas. "Particularly interesting."-British Banner. The Dispatch, in reference to its sanitary advocacy, calls it "seasonable and well-timed." "Altogether the magazine is about as good a shilling's worth as is often to be met with."-Press (London.) "This periodical will be found well worth the sober, middle-class price charged, which brings it from mere club and library use within ordinary domestic reach."-Edinburgh Weekly Herald. This magazine is cheaper (the excellence of the original matter, and quantity of close letter-press considered) than any of the penny serials or papers."-Brighton Examiner.

"There is really, in this book, a very considerable amount of reading and thought, put before the reader most quaintly and pleasantly. We learn from it almost without perceiving; and we can unhesitatingly say that, in our opinion, much more profit is to be derived from this volume than from many of far greater pretension." The Critic. "Mr. Hood has long been known as a popular lecturer and anthor. The present volume will serve to increase his usefulness and fame. It consists of twelve valuable and interesting chapters on the following topics ⚫ We cannot but desire for this book a wide circulation."-Halifax Courier. 100 Copies or more of the Cheap Edition can be had at 18. each, direct from the Publishers.

It is written somewhat after the manner of Old Humphrey,' conveying excellent instraction in the most pleasing style of anecdote and allegory."-Patriot. "Very good, indeed. Original, striking, and pleasant. Not a little prose-poetry is to be found here-and even more solid thought, clearly and suggestively communicated. The greater part of the little book will stick when the young reader's immediate pleasure from its perusal has past away.

JEFFREYS' RESPIRATOR, with all the Recent Improvements by him. The Wholesale Agent to the Manufacturers of Mr. JEFFREYS' RESPIRATORS invites attention to the following truths: 1. No prudent person could, on reflection (even as a matter of economy), trust vital organs, on the safety of which life depends, to any but the most perfect instrument producible by art. 2. Numerous and delicate combinations of metal of the quickest conducting powers are essential for constituting a real Respirator - a name itself introduced by Mr. Jeffreys, whose inquiries in physiological and experimental science are well known.-3. Any other form of matter can only keep out cold by most injuriously retarding the entry of fresh vital air in breathing, and thereby undermining the health. 4. The name Respirator" owes its very celebrity to that perfect construction which has annually brought relief and improved health to thousands of sufferers from the various ailments of the chest and throat. When watchfully employed as a preventive to attacks by the susceptible, it is especially valuable. Preventive Respirators for the Mouth, Dwarf, 9s.; Hand, 10s. to 16s.: for the Nose, the Nasal, 16s.
