NEW AND SPLENDID DAHLIAS.

GEORGE RAWLINGS will send out in May:

:

“DR. FRAMPTON," white with purple edge, of exquisite form and outline, beautiful centre, and altogether a gem; 3 feet high. 10s. 6d. This beautiful flower, although small in size, was awarded the Premier Prize at the two principal Shows in London, namely, the Surrey and Shacklewell, as the best Seedling Dahlia.

Mr. Glenny says, in the Garden Almanack, of Dr. Frampton,-“ A beautiful model of a flower, white ground, but edged deeply with rosy purple. One of the very best forms we possess; as good as the Dahlia King, and without its fault of reflexing. Under medium size, as grown near London." See also the Cottage Gardener, August 21. The Chronicle of September 6 speaks in praise of it. The Florist for October says, “A small but meritorious flower, having the colours of Princess Radzville. In class showing seedlings (at the Surrey), the best Dahlia was Dr. Frampton." The Chronicle of October 4 notices this variety as one of the most successful flowers of the year.' The Journal, September 20, says of Dr. Frampton,-" Outline good, centre first rate, shape and substance of petals good, colour white and rosy purple, brighter than Princess Radzville." The Floricultural Cabinet for October says,-Dr. Frampton in the way of Princess Radzville, with superior properties. It is a medium-sized flower, light ground, edged and mottled with lilac purple, well up in the centre, good petals

and outline."

First-class certificates at the Surrey Gardens, August 13, North Kent, South London, National, Shacklewell, Sydenham and Stoke Newington.

"SIR FREDERICK THESIGER," a splendid Rose, petals of unusual substance, good form and outline, and fine centre; 3 feet high. 10s. 6d.

Mr. Glenny says, in the Garden Almanack, of Sir F. Thesiger,-" A lovely rose, of fine form, beautiful outline, and good face. Shown variously, and sometimes indifferent, but on some occasions unexceptionable. It is not the colour of our other roses, but richer, and a medium size." See also the Floricultural Cabinet, and the Cottage Gardener of September 25. The Chronicle of September 13 describes it as 66 a lilac of medium size and good form." The Chronicle of October 4 describes it as a lilac of great promise." The Journal of September 20 says, " Sir F. Thesiger, outline good, centre fair, shape and substance of petals good, medium size, colour rosy lilac." Florist for October says,- "A lilac of medium size and good form." The Midland Florist calls this "a finely formed lilac."

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

ود

PULVERMACHER'S PATENT PORTABLE

HYDRO-ELECTRIC CHAIN,

FOR PERSONAL USE;

It

Constructed to be worn on the body under the garments, is the most wonderful discovery in Medicine and Electricity of the present day. relieves without shock or any disagreeable sensation instantaneously— the moment it is applied-acute nervous pains such as head, ear, and tooth-ache, rheumatic pains, tic-douloroux, &c.; and by its mild but continuous and perceptable action on the body, diseases of years standing, such as gout, local paralysis, nervous complaints, liver diseases, &c. vanish as if by a miracle. It precipitates metals from their solutions, decomposes water, deflects the magnetic needle, in short, shows all phenomena of a powerful voltaic pile. The instrument producing these effects weighs about two ounces, can be folded up in a pocket book, is always ready for instantaneous use, and will last a man his life-time, guarding himself, his family, friends, &c., against that immense number of complaints and diseases in which mild streaming Electricity is a perfectly safe, certain and wonderfully speedy remedy. The price of a complete chain is from 4s. 6d. to 26s. 6d.

Marvellous and incredible as may seem the above facts, any person can freely and very easily convince himself of their truth at any of the Depôts beforehand. The invention has been exhibited with the greatest success before the Royal College of Physicians, the Royal College of

Surgeons, the Royal British Association, the Academie Nationale de Medicine at Paris, and other Institutions of the highest order; the proprietors are in possession of the most flattering testimonials in writing from many of the first men in the profession, and the chains are already taken into use in most of the Hospitals in London.- Full description of this wonderful discovery, with the highest references, numbers of cases cured, &c., may be had through any respectable Chemist, or on application (by letter for two stamps), from the Head Depôts, 103, Leadenhall Street, and 71, Regent Street, London. CHARLES MEINIG, Resident Manager.

From that eminent Physician of Guy's Hospital, Dr. GOLDING BIRD, M.D., F.R.S, &c.-" I can scarcely recommend Dr. PULVERMACHER'S ingenious invention too strongly to the notice of my medical brethren."
