QIMPSON'S ROYAL ELIXIR' OF LlFE.—This
1J Medicine, from its balsamic and restorative qualities, fully
merits the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician
of the French Court for a late King of k ranee, and the recipe hay-
ing been purchased by the present Proprietor, is most faithfully
adhered to. For Flatulence, Spasms, or Gout in the Stomach, it■
beneficial effects are unrivalled, as It gives immediate relief in such
cases ; and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought
to be without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores di-
gestion 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) • never-failing restorative to tone anti
vigour. Gentlemen who occasionally exceed the strict bounds of
temperance will, by taking a dose of this Elixir on retiring to rest.
exempt themselves front the usual unpleasant effects of such excess
the following day. This medicine a also used by distinguished
orators of the Senate, the Pulpit, and the Bar, 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 most delicate females and children may take it without fear
or alteration of their accustomed habits.
It is sold in Bottles at Ils. each, including stamp, by J. V.
Simpson (acting pro?rietor), No. 211, Henrietta-street, Covent-gar-
den, London ; at the Libraries at most fashionable Watering-
places and towns of public resort ; and by the principal Medicine
Vendors throughout the United Kingdom.

NATURE' AND ART, or THE ESQUIMAUX
INDIANS.
Last Rotterdam Fair, like a Carnival gay,
Where Nature and Art form a splendid display,
Two Esquimaux Indians, to whom were unknown
The produce of aught says their own frigid zone,
Sojourn'd on the Hotter, In secluded care,
No sight yet obtain'd of the city or fair ;
When over their bowls, in hilarity met,
An Amateur laid with another a bet,
That man in an unpolish'd state will desert
Fair Nature's high charms for attractions of Art ;
The Esquimaux Indians the bet to decide,
Each party agreed by their choice to abide.
Their Guardian's consent then obtaiu'd ;—to afford
Fair scope, a large room was abundantly stor'd
With multiform produce of Nature and Art,
Attraction to draw and new pleasure impart;
Excluding, however, all mirrors, that serve
So often untutor'd attention to swerve.
The parties now met, and the two Esquimau:
Were brought from the store in full freedom to chute.
The room they rang'd o'er with apparent delight,
One charm, then another, perplexing the sight;
Unsteady, and giVing the pref'rence to none,
Till full in their view their reflected forms shone
By two then presum'd polish'd mirrors Train,
Aught else if they were from observance cola-card ;
Here fix'd was the choice of the Indians. " Alas !
Illy friend, you have lost; for a bright looking.glaA
Is out of the question."—" Then yield your pursuits,"
The other replied, and two mirror-like boots_'
I rnambush'd—amazement the triumph while backing,
Of Art ores Nature through Warren's Jet Blacking.
