TROFESSOR SWEDOU R'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. _ _ • • Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 54,.SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. Od. and Lis. 6d. . Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, C EBS, or any deleterirms.ingredient. ** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness, &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sitiforers to this dreadful and devastating malady. __ ..„ „.., Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to thoie dis orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a . .numerons train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of oil age. In that distressing state of de bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, nr any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley den University, he-conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this denlorible complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the 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 introduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by. many thousands. In fact, during the long conti nental war.they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hyge ian Herb Pills root oat every particle of insidious poison, puri fying 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 groser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and one quailed powers. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slighfest 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 preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.

It is a , melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, 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 nuts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S'PURIFY ING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ile. per box. a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, 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 small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. • The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. The Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in tbeir progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of- the body, expelling the grosser humnnrs. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mos sceptical of their astonishing and 'unequalled • powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no. rest raint 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 he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. . Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful . debilities arising front the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion' a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating itnhecilities of old 'age, but weaken• and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of iinqiination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer it firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. - PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, veneteal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, local and general debility, noctornal pains in the head anti limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising ' ,from an impure state of the blood. These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and captains of ships, the more so, as they will keep good in all climates any length of time.

AT the Half Ye arl y General Meet i n g of the Pro le tors of the BirminghAm and Derby Junction Rai ay Coin panv, held at Dee's Royal Hotel, in Birmingh on the Sib day of February, 1838, pursuant to public ad tiseinent duly inserted : HENRY SMITH, Esq., Chairman of t oard of Directors, In the Chair. The Common Seal of the Company was affixed to the Re gister of Proprietors. The following Report, and Statements of Account annexed, were read, and the succeeding Resolutions were unanimously agreed to. • REPORT. Birmingham February Bth, 1838. Since the last General Meeting of the Proprietors of the Bir mingham and Derby Junction Railway, the object of the Di rectors has been to make such arrangements as should ensure the completion of the works at the earliest possible period, and they have the satisfaction of stating that this may be effected by Midsummer next year. 'The Contracts, already let, include the whole of the line from the Junction with the London and Birmingham Railway at Hampton-in-Arden, to Burton-upon-Trent, (with the exception of about five miles in the neighbourhood of that town); and the Contractors are all under engagements to complete the .works by June, 1839. The works on the whole of these Contracts are now in opera tion, and their progress is such as to leave no doubt in the minds of the Directors that they may be finished, and the Rail way opened, in the time specified. With respect to the remainder of the line up to Derby, the works on the Contract near that town, which has been already let, are being satisfactorily proceeded uith ;—for the next two and a half miles, tenders have been made to the Company, which are now under consideration. The works in the neighbourhood of Burton-upon-Trent are advertised to be let on the 7th day of March next, and the ne cessary steps will be immediately taken for the commencement of the whole remaining part of the line, the works on which are of so easy construction, as to offer no difficulty to the simul taneous completion of the whole. Before the completion of the works of this line, the whole of the London and Birmingham Railway will be open, and it does not appear probable that any other line from the North of Englaird to London can be completed by that time. The result, there fore, will be, that for a certain time, at least, the whole of the traffic from London to the North of England, in addition to that from Birmingham and the West, must pass along the line of this Railway,—a consideration which has strongly impressed the Directors with the expediency of finishing the works at the earliest possibl e 'p er i o d ; a nd they are able also to state their conviction that from the peculiar advantages of this Railway, no future co m p e ti ng line can aeprive it of a large and profita ble portion of the direct London trade to the North. In order t o ' realise the important advantages here offered to the Propiiet ors, it will of course he necessary that the requi site funds be placed at the disposal of the Directors, as the state of the works may require. A Statement of Accounts to the 31st of December last, as required by the Art of Parliament, is annexed, and subjoined is a Memorandum, showing the Payments on the respective Calls at the present time. It will appear that the Receipts to the 31st of December, 1837, were £95,611 10s. 6d.—the Dis bursements £51,341) ss. 2d.—and the Balance in hand was £44,271 ss. 4d. It will also be seen that on two hundred and sixty-three Shares, the Second Call has not yet been . paid : this default of payment on a large portion of these has arisen from disputes as to the Proprietorship, and the Directors have thought it their duty to declare the whole forfeited. RESOLUTIONS Ist. That the Common" - Se;lt;tt7be Company is now affixed to the Register of Proprietors. 2d. That the Report and Statements of Account now read be approved and adopted, and that the proceedings of the Di rectors be approved and confirmed. 3d.
