AT HENRY RODRIGUES', 42, PICCADILLY, LONDON.

The Right Hon. EARL RUSSELL has graciously favoured J. T. Davenport with the
following: :-

"Extract of a dispatch from Mr. Webb, H.B. M.'s Consul at Manilla, dated September 17,
1864-

"The remedy most efficacious in its effects (in Epidemic Cholera) has been found to be
"Chlorodyne, and with a small quantity given to me by Dr. Burke I have saved 'several
""lives."

CAUTION. CHLORODYNE.

Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood stated that Dr. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the inventor
of Chlorodyne: that the story of the defendant, Freeman, was deliberately untrue, which, he
regretted to say, had been sworn to. Eminent Hospital Physicians of London stated that Dr.
J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of Chlorodyne; that they prescribe it largely; and mean
no other than Dr. Browne's.-See "Times," July 13, 1864. The public are therefore cautioned
against using any other than

DR J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.

This Invaluable Remedy produces quiet refreshing sleep, relieves pain, calms the system,
restores the deranged functions, and stimulates healthy action of the secretions of the body,
without creating any of those unpleasant results attending the use of opium. Old and young
may take it at all hours and times, when requisite. Thousands of persons testify to its mar-
vellous good effects and wonderful cures, while medical men extol its virtues most extensively,
nsing it in great quantities in the following diseases :-

CONSUMPTION, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING COUGH, NEURALGIA,
DIARRHOEA, RHEUMATISM, SPASMS, &c.

Important Testimonials from numerous Medical Men accompany each Bottle.
Caution.-Always ask for "Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne," and see that his name is on
the Government Stamp. Sold only in Bottles, at 18. 14d., 28. 9d., and 48. 6d.,
by all Chemists.

PERMANENT MARKING INK.

(THE ORIGINAL INVENTION ESTABLISHED 1821.)

BY FAR THE BEST AND BLACKEST FOR THIS PURPOSE,
SECURING IT FROM LOSS OR MISTAKE.

"I have carefully examined BOND'S PERMANENT MARKING INK, and find that it contains nothing whatever which would destroy or injure the texture of any fabric on which it might be used. The writing produced by it is permanent, and cannot be removed, except by such processes as would destroy the substance of the article marked with it." HENRY MATTHEWS, F.C.S.

"Having proved the excellence of this Ink, we have no hesitation in saying that it is one by itself, and not to be surpassed for durability and depth of colour."-Blackwood's Lady's Magazine.

DEBENTURES.

This Company issues Debentures, which constitute the first charge on the Company's capital and entire assets, bearing 6 per cent. interest, for terms varying from three to ten years; these securities are issued under special restrictions imposed by the articles of association.

DEPOSITS.

The Company receives sums of £20 and upwards on deposit of not less than a year at £6 per cent. Moneys of this nature accumulated with the Company can be applied to a debenture on reaching £100, if desired.

AGENCY.

The Company also receives money as agents, for investment on mortgage in Australia, under the following regulations :

Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum is allowed for a period of six months from the date of deposit, the time occupied in transmission and investment.

During the remaining term of the advance, which varies in duration from three to ten years, at the choice of the lender, the Company guarantees the payment of interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, half-yearly, at the Company's office in London.

ANNUITIES.

CONSULTING ACTUARY-CHARLES JELLICOE, Esq. President of the Institute of Actuaries.

Annuities on one or more lives are granted by the Company. These, in common with the debentures, are secured by the entire assets and capital. The annuities are issued at rates much more favourable to the purchaser than those granted by the Government, whose calculations are based on a rate of interest very much below that procurable on the highest class of securities in the colonies.

The Company undertakes general ag ncy business, whether financial or otherwise. Further particulars and forms of application may be had the offices of the Company, 72, Cornhill, E.C. London,
