Monmouthshire Merlin

IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS THE Counties of SOUTH WALES, bor- dering on England, offer the most valuable and profitable fields for ADVERTISERS that can be found within the same extent in the empire-if we exclude the great Metropolis, and the rich teeming districts of the ever-productive, the ever-absorbing NORTH. MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGANSHIRE BRECONSHIRE, with their large population, commercial enterprise, and rapidily-increasing wealth, are, unquestionably, COUNTIES to which Advertisers may look with confidence for an tmple return for any outlay they may incur, in pushing their several interests, with a view to large and produc- tive sales, &c. THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, GLAMORGANSHIRE AND BRECON SILURIAN, AND SOUTH ALES ADVERTISER, has been for more than a quarter of a century, the GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE DISTRICT. Advertisers desirous of availing themselves of the pub- licity of its columns, are requested to address the Publisher, Mr. CHRISTOPHERS, NEWPORT, MON- MOUTHSHIRE. '•Advertisements inserted on a Moderate Scale; and when Contracted for by the Year, Half-year, or Quarter, the terms are proportionately reduced. NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.

[2278 BROCKSOPP, SONS, & CO., LONDON, HAVE much satisfaction in reviewing the t t rise and progress of their business as connected with Country Agents. In 1836, they commenced appointing Agents for the Sale of their HOWQUA'S MIXTURE,' and MOWQUA'S SHALL LEAF GUNPOWDER the fame of which justly CELEBRATED TEAS spread rapidly, numerous Agents were appointed, and large sales effected. The flattering reception and patronage accorded by the Public to these Teas, led to the idea of packing all the various kinds in general use. At first the sale in packages was novel, and B. S. and Co., for some years had almost the exclusive Trade at length a host of competi- tors sprung up, which had only the effect of bringing them into greater notoriety, from the tact of their adopting the plan, to which they strictly adhere, of Selling NONE BUT TEAS OF GENUINE AND STERLING QUALITY. In these days of pretension, when the art of puffery is exhausted to palm off upon the public mere rubbish, under a decorated disguise, it would seem almost hopeless o advertise a good article, without bestowing a few su- per atives upon it; but, as good wine needs no bush,' so good -leas require no adventitious aids to recommend them. The HOWQUA'S and MOWQUA'S TEAS, im- ported by BROCKSOPP, SONS, and Co., have been appre- ciated for many years. RETAIL PRICES. Howqua's Mixture, pound Catty Package 4s. 8d.

PULVERMACHER'S PATENT MEDICAL ELEC- TRO-GALVANIC CHAINS, For personal use—a safe, certain, and speedy remedy for Rheumatic, Nervous, and Functional Diseases. They weigh but 2 ozs., and are intended to be worn on the affected parts of the body. On the first appiication (in fact, in an instant the system becomes light and in- vigorated, and Head, Ear, and Tooth-ache, and all acute Pains, vanish in an extraordinary manner also, in a few hours, and at most in a few days, the worst cases of Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago. Sciatica, Neuralgia, Ner- vous Deafness, Indigesiion, Liver and Female Com- plaints, Constipation, Spasms, Epilepsy, Paralysis, and many other Chronic Diseases, are totally eradicated. Thousands of testimonials of cures, both from private persons and medical practitioners in every part of the world, confirm these facts. In the" Lile" of that re- markable Divine, Dr. Kitto, it says .—" The instfnt I applied a small Pulvermacher's Chain I felt a pleasant electric current pass through my system, and imme- diately my pains left me." He was the greatest sufferer ever known, especially from Deafness, Paralysis and Rheumatism.
