THE ANTI-GOUT SYRUP of BOUBEE.—
Twenty years of success have proved this to be the only
medicine which can be employed without danger ; It stops instan-
taneously th•• approach of the most violent gout ; it delays the
return of the paroxysms, gives strength and elasticity to parts that
have been affected and afflicted for a length of time with concre-
tion. This medicine succeeds equally in cases of rheumatism, acute
and chrome, Aged persons, who for years have used the Anti-pout
Syrup, are in the enjoyment of an unlooked -tor agility and good
health. Imported for the first time in Enpland by A. Bouchet,
agent, 52, Geo, ge•street, Portman-square ; sold also by Sanger, 150,
Oxford-street ; J. Miles, 72, Oracechurch-street ; and T. Brown, 1,
Lornhard-terrace, Chelsea. A treatise on the gout and rheamatism,
acute and chronic, enclosed with the bottle, and directions for taking
the Syrup.

FR LIPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
Price Is. 1 d. per box.
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common
symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of
Appetite, Sick head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals,
Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a
consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of
every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation,
by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses
will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will
speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels,
and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat,
pain, aril jaundiced appesirance, strength, activity, and renewed
health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to
the directions accompanying each box.
These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds,
Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary
Passages; aud, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they
quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness,
Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of
Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dan-
gerous symptoms will be entirely carried ott by their immediate use.
For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all
obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the
sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight. Nervous Affections,
nigfLeilt,Sl, ....vrness ,ne alai give a liefutny
and juvenile bloom to the complexion.
To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medi-
cine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all
ages they are unequalled.
As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom-
mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and
require no restraint of diet, sr confinement during their use. By re-
gulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient,
they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be re-
quired ; and for Elderly People they will be found to be the most
comfortable medicine hitherto prepared.
Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price is. 114 d. and 2s. 9d.
per box ; and also by the Vendors of Medicine generally throughout
the kingdom.

IRELAND.-COUNTY OF ANTRIM.

One or roe most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES-

TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the
greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county.
W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an-
nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro.
prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at the
Royal Hotel, in Belfast,
The GALGORM or OLENAHOERTY, the BRAID, and
KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of
these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys
of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm
Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a
considerable turn has been recently expended in valuable improve.
ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of
superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great
volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens,
beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect-
able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or
connected with, the various branches of the linen trade; the ma-
jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of
Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The
bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten-
sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands,
abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate
neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a
mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20
miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a
surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail-
way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro-
perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation.
Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob.
tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 4, Beresford-place,
Dublin, and Fermoy ; of George Joy, Esq , Galgorm Castle, Bally-
mena; of Mr. W. Wilson, C.E., 14, Richmond-place, Limerick;
at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklers..
bury.

Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a third edition of
his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news-
paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the
well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator,
has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land-
lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord
and Tenant.' The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work,
gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we
scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex.
perienee in matters relating to the improvement and value of land
in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com-
prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong,
and a stuck of practical knowledge and sterling:sense which falls to
the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life.
With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac-
quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much,
perhaps, as any man in his time to improve
i her resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British capital n every department of
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be
beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or
partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is
unquestionably uniropeacbable.!
