EDWARD GILBERT & CO, PROPRIETORS, WARRHOUSE 87, LATE 44, GREAT GEORGE-STREET, Near St. James's Maiket, Liverpool. TO THE LIVERPOOL PUBLIC. BY an almost simultaneous movement , the S ho p kee p ers in London, and the leading provincial towns, have re cently associated themselves for the purpose of bringing about a curtailment of the hitherto unreasonable hours of business; and their efforts, for the attainment of that object, have been attended with unexampled success. Some of the leading tradesmen of this town, being also fully aware orlhe comfort which not only their assistants, but themselvet, would derive from following so good an example, (atditimulated by the successful efforts of the Drapers,) couvrted a general meet ing of their body to take into consideration the propriety of establishing an earlier and uniform hour of closing. At that meeting, which was very numerously and respectably at tended, resolutions to the effect that it would be advisable to close their places of business at eight o'clock, (luring the winter six 11 - inths, and at nine o'clock, during the summer portion of the year, were unanimously adopted. A committee was at the same time appointed, for the purpose of ascertain• ing, by personal canvass, the opinion of each individual; by great attention and labour, that Committee have waited upon upwards of eighteen hundred Shopkeepers, and it is to them a matter of warm congratulation that a very large majority cheerfully and promptly acceded to the time proposed. The greater portion of persons objecting did so with regret, the nature of their business unavoidably requiring their attend ance till a later hour than that named in the resolution ; the others are a class of small shopkeepers, who, being supported by the lower portion of the community, are unfortunately hostile to a regulation based on that system and order which is always found to be the characteristic of the truly respect. able tradesman. It is to be much regretted that a few of the Shopkeepers in the leading streets have refused to com ply with this beneficial regulation ; it is, however, confidently expected, that, on seeing the all hut unanimous feeling of the public upon the question, deference to the wishes of their neighbours, and a desire fo avoid the affectation of singu larity, will induce them very shortly to follow the general example. It has hitherto been a serious evil, prejudicial to the health, as well as to the mental and social condition of the middle classes of our large towns, that the whole of their time is allowed to be engrossed by their attention to business, to the total neglect of the blessings of do mestic quiet, and the advantages arising from the ra tional employment of periods of leisure. That such a course is prejudicial to the health, undermining the constitution, and bringing on premature decay, has been noticed by all writers who have directed their attention to the causes of disease existing in large communities. It becomes, then, an imperative duty on all to curtail as much as practicable (hut still with due regard to the objects of trade) the present pro tracted hours to which tradesmen have hitherto been the voluntary slaves. Of how many hours' enjoyment, in the society of his children, is the father of a family deprived ? How many engagements of social and happy intercourse with esteemed friends, must the industrious Shopkeeper forego? How much knowledge is being acquired by other portions of the people, who, availing themselves of more rational hours of occupation, are rapidly outstepping those who have hitherto made no effort to free themselves from those injurious systems which tend to keep them in ignorance, and to prevent those relaxations which are required both fur the health of the body and the energy of the mind ? To recapitulate all the evils attendant upon late hours of business, would extend this address to an unnecessary length ; it may be permitted, however, here to call the attention of parents to an obligation imposed upon them with regard to the health and morals of their children, and exhort them to give their best support to the new regulation, and thus the dangers to which their constitutions have been exposed, would be averted, and the choice of companions, from the moral part of the community, brought within their reach. The Committee, therefore, earnestly call upon those who have conformed to the resolutions of the Public Meeting, steadily to adhere to the regulation, and to exert their friendly influence in inducing others to comply with the arrangement, . that it may be generally encouraged and permanently esta blished—en arrangement which, if strictly persevered in, must, without injury to the interests of any, add to the health and happiness of all. By order of the Committee of the Shopkeepers' Association. JAMES WILLACY, Jun, Secretary. 20th December. 1838. by auction. SALE OF BOOKS. By Messrs. THOS.

PERRY and Co., SURGEONS, may he personally consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Two, at No. 22, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL, (private entrance first door up the passage ;) No. 2, Bale-street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's Church, Manchester, and No. 4, Great Charles-street, Bir mingham; of wham may be had (gratis) with each hox of pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, Gleets, and Stricture, including Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising from early abuses, so tliat all persons can obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Venereal Disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and lls. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days , by one sm a l l pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a cum plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health.

WEST OF ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. Empowered by Act of Parliament. Capital, £600,000. President—The Right Honourable the Earl of DEVON. FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED. IDERSONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and 4 upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas, 18.37, and who had then been insured Two Years at least, are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the Company's Officein Exeter, and by the Agents with whom the Insutances are effected, or renewed FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, front which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. This Company's business is still increasing, and the estitna tion in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it tanks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and as a Life office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. The Company does not pride itself on account of the large amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the Bonus attached thereto, iu the Liverpool de partment, will prove : Policy, No. 72,567 £57 15 6 106.104.. 29 19 2 • , 101,562 28 19 9 108 , 806 . 28 10 1 104,888 .. 26 12 6 109,135. 26 6 1 AGENTS IN LIVERPOOL : W.

The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. Arti ticial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed front one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Forty Guineas Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

" H. LEY, M.D. " Lecturer on Midwifery at Bartholomew's Hospital." " Dr. Clarke has prescribed Yoland's Specific Solution to many patients labouring under urethral discharges, and in variably found they were cured in much less time than he had previously observed when using preparations of copaiba, and is of opinion it is a remedy unequalled, and one that he intends in future to prescribe for his patients." London, Dec. 270837. " Dr. Green hereby certifies Yoland's Specific Solution is a most efficacious remedy, and one that removes urethral dis eases sooner than any preparation of copaiba he has ever prescribed."

RADCLIFF, Secretary. is Plt.)FES:nOlt SW EDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every specie! and svmptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. Od. anti 4s. Gd. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. *** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &C. Sze., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr.'DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old acre. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of t he soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction? The Hvgeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain p r eventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. T he deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered.
