is from lib. v. 301. of the Alexandreis of Philip Gualtier: and not Tempora, but

is from a poem by Matthew Borbonius in the Delitiæ Poetarum Germanorum, vol. i. p. 683.

H. C. C. Will this Correspondent favour us with his address in exchange for that of Newbury, which we have, and who wishes to correspond with him?

J. O. May we insert the interesting Reply sent by this Correspondent, or is it his wish that we should forward it?

W. S. F. will find an interesting article on the loss of Gray's original MS. from La Grande Chartreuse, in our First Volume, p. 416.

J. M. G. Is not the translation of The Ode, spoken of in the article alluded to as being by James Hay Beattie, the one respecting which our Querist inquires?

F. M. (A Maltese). 1. We should recommend our Correspondent to make his gun cotton with the nitrate of potash and sulphuric acid, as originally recommended in "N. & Q.," taking care that they are both thoroughly incorporated before the addition of the cotton. Much vexation often occurs in consequence of the various strengths of nitric acid. But the gun cotton can now be procured at some of the photographic houses quite as reasonably as it can be prepared. 2. Acetic acid is added to the pyrogallic acid to prevent its too rapid decomposition, and to facilitate the more easy flowing of the fluid over the plate. But the more acetic acid is used, the more slow will be the development. 3. Is not the cracking of the albumen the result of the climate of Malta?

F. (Manchester). We do not think that you can do better than adopt strictly the mode of obtaining positives recommended by Mr. Pollock, and which we printed some time since; or that pursued by Dr. Diamond, which we have in type, but have been compelled to postpone until next week.

A. B. C. Having ourselves practised the Paper Process, according to the directions given in our first Number for the present year (with the correction of using the gallic acid, which, as stated in a subsequent Number, was by accident omitted), we would advise our Correspondent to adhere strictly to those rules rather than any other with which we have since become acquainted. We are of opinion that sufficient care is very rarely used in the preparation of the iodized paper, and upon which all future success must depend.

A few complete sets of "Notes and Queries," Vols. i. to vii., price Three Guineas and a Half, may now be had; for which early application is desirable.

INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION, NERVOUSNESS, &c.—BARRY, DU BARRY & CO.'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD for INVALIDS and INFANTS.

THE REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, the only natural, pleasant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies) for nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver and bilious complaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipation, diarrhœa, acidity, heartburn, flatulency, oppression, distension, palpitation, eruption of the skin, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, sickness at the stomach during pregnancy, at sea, and under all other circumstances, debility in the aged as well as infants, fits, spasms, cramps, paralysis, &c.

A few out of 50,000 Cures:—

Cure, No. 71, of dyspepsia; from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies:—"I have derived considerable benefits from your Revalenta Arabica Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the public to authorise the publication of these lines.—Stuart de Decies."

Cure, No. 49,832:—"Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach, and vomitings have been removed by Du Barry's excellent food.—Maria Jolly, Wortham Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

Cure, No. 180:—"Twenty-five years' nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility, from which I had suffered great misery, and which no medicine could remove or relieve, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's food in a very short time.—W. R. Reeves, Pool Anthony, Tiverton."

Cure, No. 4,208:—"Eight years' dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice of many, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries.—Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial.

"Bonn, July 19. 1852.

"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

"Dr. Rud Wurzer.
"Counsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. in Bonn."
