MEDICAL ADVICE.
DR. FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and
Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, and
author of several medical works, may be consulted daily on all
Diseases, Nervous Debility, &c. &c., at his residence, No. 4,
FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE, LONDON.
Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi-
cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long
practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele-
brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had,
perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various- pecu-
liarities relating to the disorders ; and having for a number of
years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com-
plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as
short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish
himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as
iabove, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of
vgnorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the
_aeons seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life,
pc., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver-
Pool sent on application.
Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases; ,
and no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they con-
tain by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medi-
cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident.
Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH BELL
FRANKLIN, M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis. on receipt of two
stamps for postage.

OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN
SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary
and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other
preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from
the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and
working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when
brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its
virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes
mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for
use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY.

'e give a few of the many communications we have received
since we bare been in England, from those who have experienced
the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must
have some weight in convincing the public of its great value.
49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1. 1851.
Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume-
rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken
Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be
happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am
doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen
myself' produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that,
although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its
virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not
seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
