Unprincipled persons, Chemists and others, prepare counter-
feits of this popular remedy. Purchasers are therefore cautioned not
to purehase any Wafers unless the words " Dr. Locock's Wafers"
appear in White letters on a red ground in the Government Stamp

sition.
Dr. LOCOCKS'S WAFERS give instant relief, and a rapid cure of
Asthma, Coughs, and all disorders of the Breath and Lungs.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable for
clearing and strengthening the voice ; they have a most pleasant
taste.

RAISING WATER disecmered by the FOUN-•
TAUT PUMPS, which sell the water upwards, without
either frictietu or faltering, therefore ea* never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the meat important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of wad priperty either at Sea er oa Laid.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already Bayed, and the captains gratefally ac-
knowledge the gleriois results. Two testimonial extract; shall
*Oleo :
" Captain (helm from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being tilted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saying the ship aid 239 souls of board, two seams is the bottom
being partly left without calking.'
" The Argus brig, fron► Cad*, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump &leaked and became ase-
less. Captain Rutherford stater all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Panap, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was ii ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in Lendoe„
with a thank God for the Fountaia ramp."

ON LAND
the New Psrtable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service ibex a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
"We are delighted with the invention—it is a great hoe* to so-
elety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion ef
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties en
Ire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks; and in the
eleven, Mews. Nortoi's dyery, and 12,0091. worth of consigned pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, aid Messrs. Buteher's
grocery warehouses, just in tine to prevent a large quantity ef gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.
" North Walshans.--It this fire the Portable Engine was ef great
service, and by having oils of them ready, there is no doubt bat half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich tire Jane 2, 1147, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove gum-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-ferce Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, aid
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and flatten, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exeeees half the power consumed, after everceming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
triad in vain for two thousand years-to abate these palpable defects
is hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victery is won, aid
wen for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new Yelling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to tweaty (er about seventy per cont.), and frequently with-
out mere outlay.
Most mos can sustain heavy rapid pump trials Dar 40 seconds, bat
sense men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man if 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,500 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Facili-
tate Pump 1,050 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained ever perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
Jehn dentin Roberts, EH., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mellott, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. Rut the Yankee out-foeled Jehn Bull
and Paddy in Ne. 1,183, and in Ne. 496, 7took-maker Millington's
remarks aro preposterous. However, en the ether hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many ether diseerniag men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
relling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain.
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the meet important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years —the greatest advaacement in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consemmatien Fountain Pumps are successfully carried cut
for private and public tees, at lifts belew and above 100 *et altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to ISO barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.

SALES BY AUCTION.

41.-
MAGNIFICENT ESTATES and NOBLE RESIDENCE IN SOUTH
LANCASHIRE within FOURTEEN MILES of LIVERPOOL,
comprising the extensive and very valuable DOMAINS and MA-
NORS of BOLD, BURTONWOOD, and SUTTON, presumed to be
one of the most important and improving Properties that has ever
been offered for sale. •
lIVIESSRS: DANIEL SMITH and SON have
been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to an-
nounce that the above truly magnificent 'and very valuable I
FREEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,e00 statute acres, em-
bracing some of the finest land in 'the' county, and almost in a ring
fence, will be submitted -to PUBLIC SALE (if not previously dis-
posed of by Private Contract). -
They embrace the important " Manor of Bold," with its splendid
mansion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all
in excellent ordet, and distinguished as " The Bold Hall Estate,"
and comprising within itself about 4,300 acres most su-
perbly timbered, and well stocked with game, also " The
Burtonwood' Estate" adjoining, which contains nearly 1,400
acres, very finely wooded, together with " The Sutton Estate "
closely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land
skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of St. Helen's,
and containing mines of superior coal, and also beds of clay of great
value for pottery purposes. The whole of these fine estates (with
the exception of the parks and demesne farm, which are in hand)
are let to responsible tenants at 'moderate rents, and produce between
11,0001. and 12,0001. per annum, exclusive of royalties and relate re-
ceivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. The
limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the
numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important
and splendid domain. The Mansion of Bold stands upon a fine ele-
vated part of the park, which contains about 600 acres, richly
studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of
the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient
hall, moated.round, and which, from a period little later than the
Conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the '
present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages ;
is intersected by the London and North-Wastem. and St. Helen's and
Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its value
must be annually increased. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing
an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a
considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines are
already in lease, and must be the source -of a vast revenue. The
Suiten Station of the London and North-Western Railway is distant
about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the
kingdom. 'Warrington is distant from Bald 15% miles; Liverpool
only 14 ; Mancheiter, 20 ; andkondon, less than 200.. The Bold.and
Burtonwood Domains and inners -may be purchased without the
Sutton Property, Which will probably be offered in lots.
For fUrtherparticulars and cards to view the property, and to treat
for the purchase, apply at their Offices in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall,
London. Particulars may also be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross,
Solicitors, Prescot, Lancashire; or Mr. Alexander Bannerman, Land
Agent, South Cottage, Chorley.
