Shirley's NEURALGIC CRYSTAL A Certain Cure for Neuralgia in the Head, Face, and Limbs, Including Face-ache, Ear-ache, Tooth-ache, Tic-doloreux, Brow Ague, Intercostal Neuralgia, often mistaken for Pleurisy, Muscular Rheumatism, Sciatica or Hip-gout, Nervous Head-ache, and Nerve Pains of all kinds, the result of Debility, Cold, Anxiety, Anæmia, or residing in an unhealthy or malarious country, BY OUTWARD APPLICATION ONLY. IT CONTAINS NO POISON, AND IS PERFECTLY HARMLESS. MR. R. SHIRLEY, after many years of careful therapeutical research, much perseverance, and chemical experiment, has succeeded in producing his NEURALGIC CRYSTAL, in the form of a solid substance about two inches long, portable, and easy of application, so as to render it one of the most useful domestic remedies of the age. The "CRYSTAL" will neither stain nor injure the SKIN, being of a purely vegetable nature. Mr. Shirley's chief endeavour has been to prepare his NEURALGIC CRYSTAL in such a form that its application would be at the same time easy and effectual; the absorbing power of the skin being such that the endermic method of application with the CRYSTAL might be successfully employed minus the use of the Hypodermic syringe needle. Absorption by the skin is an instance in which that process is most actively accomplished. Metallic preparations rubbed into the skin have the same action as when given internally, and may produce poisonous effects. Vegetable matters also, if soluble or already in solution, give rise to their peculiar effects when rubbed into the skin, and there can be no question that the effect of rubbing the painful or neuralgic part with SHIRLEY'S CRYSTAL is to convey the particles of the Neuralgic Crystal into the orifices of the glands, whence they are more readily absorbed than they would be if merely spread or allowed to remain upon the skin. By the use of SHIRLEY'S NEURALGIC CRYSTAL the PAIN is at once lessened and very soon passes off entirely: indeed, the action of the NEURALGIC CRYSTAL is so certain, and in the majority of cases so instantaneous, that it has been described in the testimonials received from all parts of the world as " MAGICAL." One Lady writes:-"To describe its action is simply impossible: my husband, before I applied the Crystal, was absolutely mad with pain: he had not slept for nights, but in less than a quarter of an hour after I had rubbed his forehead with the Crystal he declared himself free from pain; soon after fell into a tranquil sleep, and although he had one or two slight returns, I at once stopped the paroxysm by the application of the Crystal, and he is now quite well." A gentleman, lately returned from New Zealand, called upon Mr. Shirley and told him that "at Wellington, toothache prevails there a great deal, on account of the humid nature of the climate. Bay leaves were formerly much used for the malady, but since the introduction of SHIRLEY'S NEURALGIC CRYSTAL there, no other remedy is now used for this and the other forms of NEURALGIA which prevail there. It first seems to soothe the pain, and soon after it disappears." In Canada, SHIRLEY'S NEURALGIC CRYSTAL is patronised at Government House, is used by every class of Society in the Dominion, and Agencies have been established in the various provinces of North America. In Paris, and the chief Continental cities of Europe, SHIRLEY'S NEURALGIC CRYSTAL is used, and directions in the various languages are sent with each consignment. The NEURALGIC CRYSTAL bears the signature J. G. SHIRLEY" in RED INK across the label, without which none are genuine. To be obtained from J. G. SHIRLEY, Sole Proprietor and Discoverer, 2, WESTBOURNE GROVE, BAYSWATER, LONDON, And from all respectable Chemists in the United Kingdom, the chief Continental Cities, the Colonies, and America. Price 1s. 1 d. and 2s., free by post. The "CRYSTAL" is largely used in England by Members of the Royal Family, as well as by a great number of the Nobility, Clergy, Naval and Military Officers, and others, whose letters can be seen.

Round the base of the Memorial is a series of 200 life-sized figures and portraits of the great men of all ages, sculptured by J. P. Philip and H. H. Armstead. The cost of the whole was £150,000, including a large sum from Her Majesty, and £50,000 from Parliament. The Central Institution of the City and Guilds of London Institute for the advancement of Technical Education is in the Exhibition Road. It was chiefly established at the expense of the City Companies, who have contributed to it over £100,000 since its formation. The City and Guilds Technical College will be found in Tabernacle Row, Finsbury. THE EDGWARE ROAD TO PADDINGTON, &c.

Here were hung the bodies of Oliver Cromwell, Ireton, and Bradshaw (torn from their graves in Henry VII.'s Chapel in Westminster Abbey, and still wearing their swords), from sunrise to sunset on the first anniversary of the death of Charles I. after the Restoration. The list of the noted and notorious executed at Tyburn includes the names of Perkin Warbeck, the Pretender; the Holy Maid of Kent, for prophesying the death of Henry VIII.; Robert Southwell, the poet, for high treason; Mrs. Turner, in a yellow ruff, for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury; John Felton, for the assassination of the Duke of Buckingham; Jack Sheppard; Jonathan Wild, thief and receiver of stolen goods; Catharine Hayes, for the murder of her husband-she was burnt alive by the mob, who would not wait for the hangman; Earl Ferrers (1760), for the murder of his steward: wearing his wedding clothes, he was drawn in his own coach-and-six from the Tower, hanged by a silken rope, and the 'drop' was first used for his lordship instead of a |
