IMPSON'S ROYAL ELIXIR OF LlFE.—This
Medicine, from its ba:samic and restorative qualities. fully
merits the above name.. It wa. originally prepared by a Physician
o:*the French Court for a late King of France, and the recipe having
I bean purchased by the present Proprietor, is most faithfully adhered
to. For Flatulence, Spasms, or Gout in the Stomach, its beneficial
etil•cta are unrivalled, as it gives immediate relief in such cases ;
and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought to be
without it. It peemotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion
in cases of nervous' debility, whether occasioned by a long resi-
dence in tropical &mates, natural deficiency of energy in the
system, or from a tooeluxurious mode of life; this Elixir will he
found (on a sufficient trial) a never-failing restorative to tone and
vigour. Gentlemen who occasionally exceed the strict bounds of
temperance will, by taking a dose of this Elixir on retiring to rest,
exempt themselves from the usual uhpleasant effects of such extols
the following day. Thu medicine is also used by distinguished
orators of the Senate, the Pulpit, and the liar, as it revives the
frame and restores the voice when painful exhaustion is produced
by long declamation ; and at the same time is so perfectly innocuss,
that the most delicate telltales anti children may take it without fear
or alteration of their accustomed habits.
It is sold in Bottles at I Is. each. including stamp, by J. V.
Simpson (acting proprietor). No. 28, Henrietta-street. tovant-
garden, London; at the Libraries at most fashionable watering-
places and towns of public resort; and by the principal Medicine
Venders throughout the United Kingdom.
