For STRANGURY, DROPSY7GRAVEL OBSTRUCTIONS
in the URINARY PASSAGE, DIABETES, and GENE-
IL WEAKNESS. -
JOSEPH WESSEL's JESUIT's DROPS. .
IN his Majesty's Navy these Drops have for
near too years past maintained their character as a spe-
cific for the Scurvy, Gravel, Dropsy, Straugury, Wealiness,
and Obstructions in the Urinary Passage, and General Debi-
lity;—but particularly for their absolute and speedy cure.of
the Venereal Disease, WESSEL's JESUIT's DROPS and
SPECIFIC REMEDY are the only safe and expeditious Cure,
and are so innocent in their nature, astb require little or no
restraint.

As a restorative for General Debility, \Vessel's Jesuit's
Drops hat'e been long known and esteemed; whether the
Debilikverises from the too copious use of Mercury, from
excess of Venery, or intense. heat of Climate, they are equally
serviceable:—such as have - the misfortune to be troubled
with old stubborn Gleets, Seminal Effusions, or any Weak-
ness of the Kidneys, Ureters or Bladder, Diabetes, or-Ditii-
culty of making Water, will experience a complettt Cure by
due perseverance.

Tlie great object to be attended to is, that Purchasers,
should be careful in having the true and genuine Prepara-
tion, as the unsafe and dangerous counterfeits attempted to.
be foisted on the Public, by absiduto falsehoods, are so nu-
merous, that the Proprietors request every purchaser to ask
for Joseph Wessel's Jesuit's Drops.
CAUTION.—The genuine WeSsel's Jesuit's Drops are in-
closed in a black stamp, not an itnitatißn of a stamp, with
the, folltiwing engraved thereon: " Joseph Wessel, St. Paul's
Church-yard." _

Price 2a. 9d. per Bottle, and in large Bottles, containing
:en small, 11. 2s.

Sold by Sanger, 150, Oxfnrd•street; Tull, Exchange;

rr HE Royal and. Noble Patrons of the above
.1" INSTITUTION, for the exclusive. Treatment of VE-
NER.EAL COMPLAINTS, and their dangerous consequences,
in order tb ins.ure the benefits that have resulted from it, se-
lected Mr. KIERNAN as its Surgeon, (stkuding high on the
list of the Royal College) from haring directed his chief at-.
tention to those dileases. It is the misfortune of .Patients
noel. PonipiaiLlES, to be teo often the Mit., at
rate Prete/niers, who practise on the credulity by imposing
titles and specious proud : Against this class (of late so
numerous and daring), AI?: Kiernan conceives it a part of his
official duty to caution the Public, by pointing to the List of
the Royal College,spublishea in February MG, as the only
sure guide, and that no assertion of Persons assuming such
titles, and publicly advertising them, without being sanc-
tioned by this List, are to he credited. The annual reports
o 1 the Lock Dispensary will prove, that smile of the most
dangerous cases of Strictuies; Debility, and other supposed
incurable affections of thiGenetative Organs, have beers here
radically and successfully treated ; facts which require no
hackneyed testimony of affilavits to prove, but the west re-
spectable Medical evidence.
Mr. KIERNAN May be consulted as usual, by both Sener,
at his house, 21, Lower Charlotte-street, Bedford-square,
where Letters from Town and Country are to be addressed,
and tile necessary Advice and -Medicine will be. given,. or
sent, to any part of the United Kingdom.
