S 1 PSON'S ROYAL ELIXIR OF LlFE.—This
Medicine, from its balsamic and restorative qualities, fully
menu the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician
of the French Court (or a late King of France, and the recipe hsving
been purchased by the present Proprietor, is most faithfully adhered
to. For flatulence, Spasms, or Gout in the Stomach, its beneficial
effiTts are unrivalled, as it gives ityintediate relief in such cases;
and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought to be
without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion
in cases of nervous debility, whether occasioned by a long residence
in tropical climates, natural deficiency of energy in the system, or
from a too luxurious mode of life. This Elixir will be found, on a
sufficient trial, a never-failing restorative to tone and vigour. Gen-
tlemen 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 unpleasant effects of such excess the following day.
This Medicine is also used by distinguished orators of the henate,
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 innocent, that the maid delicate
females and children may take it without fear or alteration of their
accustomed habits.

It is sold in Bottles at 111. each. including stamp, by J. V.
Simpson (acting Proprietor), No. 28, Henrietta street, Covent.
garden, London ; at the Libraries at most fashionable watering.
places and tiorns of public resort ; and by the principal Medicine
Venders throughout the United Kingdom.
