dicine, will be presented gratis with a most comprehensive Alma-
neck for the ensuing year, printed by Whiting, containing an ac-

THE POOR MAN'S PILL
's an unrivalled antibilious medicine, introduced in 1761, recom-
mended by Abernethy and the Faculty. Its efficacy is remarkable
in those maladies which depend upon the purity of the blood and a
disordered condition of the stomach and bowels, inducing, as inevi-
table consequences, indigestion, head-ache, acidity upon the sto-
mach, heartburn, flatulency, nausea, lowness of spirits, and cuta-
neous eruptions. The most delicate female, when an aperient is
required, may at all times have recourse to them. To individuals
travelling, more particularly seafaring persons, when, from change
of habit and climate, the liver and bowels become inactive, they
will prove of invaluable service. The Medical Editor of the
" Weekly Chronicle," in speaking of this medicine, which has now
become the National Alediuna of Health, observes-" We have
ascertained, as far as chemical analysis can extend, the ingredients
constituting the preparation called the Poor Man's Pill, and find
that they contain all that is required for a safe and active aperient.
In such a character we believe it stands unrivalled, and there is no
doubt that in a short time it must become the most popular of
Family Medicines."
In the following maladies, they have in innumerable instances
been found to give immediate and extraordinary benefit : -Ab-
'
scesses ague, asthinas, bilious complaints, blotches on the skin,
boils, bowel complaints, constipation of bowels, consumptions.
convulsions, cramps, debility, dysentery, erysipelas, faintings, gid-

ESSRS. S. and E. SOLOMONS, Opticians
and Aurists, late of Solomon's Terrace, during a profes-
sional experience of thirty years, have had ample opportunities
of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Bearing are sympa-
thetically related to eich other in such a peculiar manner, that
when the former becomes imperfect, than sense of hearing be-
eomes rapidly dull ; this fact is admitted by Scientific Authori-
ties, and must be observable by many thousands of individuals
thus circumstanced, which is deserving the Public's most serious
attention. The Messrs. Solomon., with a view to remedy such an
affection, and after they have devoted their whole lives to this inte-
resting branch • fscience, have succeeded in effecting for imperfect
vision a most scientific improvement in the manufacture of a Trans-
parency for SPECTACLES, anda Preventive and Cure in certain
eases eldeefness, and where skill and art has no avail they have in-
vented an OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR upon a very
small construction, scarcely perceptible, it requires no holding, sass
the individual immediately becomes one of the party in the general
conversation. By this important discovery, net only is defective
vision brought to nature, but the sense of hearing is restored to its
original acuteness; those lenses are so constructed and adapted to
weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific principles, com-
bined with the long extensive experience of the Messrs. Solomon',
which will be found to effect such an extent •f relief to those af-
flicted with defective vision and dulness of hearing that will far ex-
ceed their utmost and meat sanguine expectations. On placing those
lenses before imperfect vision either by day or candle light every
object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle seen
with exact distinctness. The Messrs. Solomons have in their pos-
session, WITHOUT coma xxcirrion, Spectacles, and Ear instra-
!tiente of every kind which are offered to the public by other indivi-
duals, to point out the superiority of their improvements over all
others. The patronage of Nobility and Gentry, and recommenda-
tions of the principal Oculist Physicians and Surgeons in London,
and through Great Britain as well as on the Cbutinont, would be
Me expensive and numerous for insertion.
The Messrs. Solomons au • anxious that the public should not
eonfound them with persons of the same name, it being admitted
by professional gentlemen of the highest character, and may be seen
by any individual, that their newly invented Spectacles and Opera-
tivp Voles Conductors for deafness, surpass any thing of the kind

Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imner

to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. M have
been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO-

square,

Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock;
the family of Mrs. Smith, residing at No. 9, King street,
St. James's-square, were thrown into, excitement by the dis.
covery of their servant, named Ellen NS yles, lying dead in her
bed. The deceased retired to bed at her usual hour the night
previous in apparently perfect health and spirits.
Yesterday a man of the name of Edwards, a labourer,
residing in a wretched court near Old-street-road, while in a
state of beastly intoxication, in Aldersgate-street, fell violently
on the back of his head, from which the blood flowed copiously,
and immediately afterwards attempted to cut his own throat,
which he partly effected, but was seized by the police, who,
after:a violent resistance, succeeded in strapping his arms
down, and in that state conveyed him to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, literally covered with blood.
INCREASE OF BELFAST.—There are, at present,
in course of erection, or ready for occupancy, in Belfast and
its suburbs, upwards of 120 dwelling-houses, many of them of
the first class, exclusive of several large stores, for the provi-
sion and other trades, and two extensive weaving factories.
Belfast within, the last twenty years, has not only doubled its
population but its extent —a rapidity of increase not surpassed,
if equalled, by any other town in the United Kingdom.—

An unfortunate woman named Mary Daly, who had
been taken up on a charge of stealing a gold watch from a Miss
O'Reilly, in Messrs. Harvey's shop on Wellington-quay, put an
end to her life on Saturday evening last in Chancery-lane sta-
tion-house ; she suspended herself by a handkerchief from one
of the bars belonging to the window of the cell in which she
was confined; she must have been very resolutely determined
on self-destruction, for her knees could nearly have reached
a seat under the window.—Dublin Peper.
