Belfast has . already profited by the Union ;
though it must be admitted that some of their ex--
ports were not very beautiful to the view. Of
this a Tape Worm of the length of 40 feet, expell-
ed by a small quantity of Dr. Gardner's Pills, from
Mrs. C , of that flourishing town, is an extra-
ordinary instance. This, with many other Tape
Worms of uncommon description, may be seen at
the Donor's, No. 75, and 76, 'Long-acre, whither
Several of the curious daily come to see them.
The Pills are sold by.most venders in the united
Kingdoms, in boxes, at 2IS. xos. 6d. or ss. for, the
poor, at 25. 3d. Each box is signed; " f. Gardner."-''
The 'celebrity of Steel's fragriknt Lavender and
Honey Waters, are so well estab‘Uted. among the
Fashionable Circles, Sm. as leave us little to offe► in
recommendation ; but interested individuals some-
times render public caution requisite ; hence in or-
der to procure those articles of fine quality and re-
ducedyrice, it necessary to lie particular in di-
rening to J. C. Steel, Lavender W4ter Merchant to
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, No. r s,
Catherine-street, Strand, where the Nobility, &c.
.wishing to avail themselves of the certainty of
having those esteemed and elegant Waters of his
genuine preparation; are requested, to forward, their
favours. But we must add, that Letters from the
Country must contain a .Note or Order for payment
in London, as from the extreme low prices, they
are entirely ready money articles.
