IMPURE WATER.-During a series of lectures at the
Polytechnic Institution, in London, by Mr. Pepper, on
this all-important subject (whose lectures have afforded
so much interest and instruction), he particularly urged
the absolute necessity of the adoption of some stringent
measures in order tolinsure, as far as possible, a wholesome
supply to the public, and particularly cautioned persons
predisposed to cholera infection against the use of water
in its naturally sophisticated state, because all water,
from whatever source received, cannot be free from other
substances, such as clay, flinty matter, chalk, sulphate of
lime, nitre, common salt, sulphate of potash, animalculfe,
&c., and urged, in conjunction with Professor Faraday,
the absolute necessity of filtration, in order to remove
such mechanical impurities. There can be no doubt,
however, that when the Liverpool water is properly
filtered, it, will be found to be among the best descriptions
of water supplied to the public. It is much to be lamented
that fraudulent venders of feeble and ineffective imitations
of valuable inventions are numerous in large towns and
cities; we would recommend our friends, therefore, to
inspect the warehouses of Messrs. Saunders and Co.,
Parker-street, Church-street. It is but justice to their
inventive genius to pronounce their filters far superior to
anything of the kind ever offered to the public, being
unique in structure, judicious in development of power
and action, and reduced to a price with the reach of all
classes.

PanDENcs.—How much regret, pain, and evil may be
avoided by timely forethought ! If, it be desirable to
economise time and money, is it not still of greater impor.
tance to look to your health ? During this inclement
season we strongly advise the use of the Aromatic Spice
Plasters on the chest. Coughs, colds, asthmas, shortness
of breath, pain or tightness of the chest, affection of the
lungs, &c., are effectually relieved, and in many cases
entirely prevented, by the timely application of these
invaluable plasters to the chest, which are .far superior to the
common warm plasters, and in many cases entirely supersede
the use of internal remedies. No person during the winter
ought to be without one ; persons about to travel by rail-
road, &c., in particular. 6J, Is, and is 61 each. To be had
only from F. G. Jones, Chemist, 5, Paradise street, and 94,
London road, one door from Seymour street ; where also
may be had the Horehound and Squills, so celebrated for
coughs, &c , in bottles, is lid, 2i 9d, and 4s 6d. Mr.
Jones can show any patty interested a number of testimo-
nials of the great benefit derived from the Aromatic Spice
Plasters and the Horehound and Squills, in affections of the
chest.—Advt. _

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—NO sooner is a medicine well
established in public favour than a host of imitators spring
up. The Essence of Horehound and Squills, Pectoral
Lozenges, and Aromatic Spice Plasters, are sold only at 5,
Paradise street, and 94, London road, and one agent in
most towns in the kingdom.—Advt,
