DR. JAMES'S POWDER,

For Fevers, Colds, Agues, Influenzas, Measles, &c.
AVender of Medicines, formerly a labourer in the
Doctor's garden, has lately advertised himself " as the orl-
" ginal and only person who ever prepared the Fever Powder foi
" the late Dr. James ;" but as it has oven proven that this Medi-
cine was sold before he was born, and therefore that he could: of
have been the" original Preparer," he now shifts his grount4 and
declares " that he assisted in the preparation two years prior to
" the Doator's decease, the person who usually prepared them
" being in a bad state of health, &C." and tints, by his own shelv-
ing, it appears that he was not "the only Preparer." It happens,
however, that Mrs. Evans, here alluded to, who lived many years
in the Doctor's family, and survived him, was, in truth, the only
person who attended the fires and assisted in the process till his
death : a man was occasionally employed to pound the ingredietns
i which is all this pretender, Mr. Perrin, can have done, and
1 whichehe calls " assisting in the preparation ;" so that after the
pass falsehoods of being " the original and the only Preparer,"
his pretensions resolve themselves into the mere quibble " of as-
"- siting in the preparation," because he pounded the ingredients.
But even if he tad been admitted to assist Mrs. Evans in her part
of the process, he could not have obtained the secret of this Me-
dicine, for, according to Dr. James's affidavit (published by his
Executors in 1777), it had only been communicated to his Son
and Mr. Newbery—a discov..ry, moreover, that has ever baffled
die skill of the most eminent Chemists.
The genuine Povujer is to be bad only from F. Newbery and
Sops, No. 45, St. Paul's Church-yard, Loudon ; or at Dr James's
late house, In Burton-street, in Packets, price 2s. tad. each ; or in
Eottles, containing ill Packets, as made up fqr the Army and
Navy., price 11.4 a. including the duty. Observe tint the words,
" F. Newbery, No. 4s; St. Paul's,' are engraved in the Stamps.

IMPORTANT DbicovatY.
rTITIE 'Advantage the Public must always derive
-I- froM regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which'has
attended the administration of their new rtor..dy,aud,the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Messrs.
CURRIE and Cu. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their investit
ration, and are happy in having discoveredgamedicinesuprrior to
totircury in the cure of that scorplaim; it is sufficient to observe
that the effects of this remedy are diainetrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in Its most confirmed stages, yet it does net in theleast
Injure the constitution; on the contrary, It enovates the system
in alf its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a struag and vigorous emu:cita-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre-
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a weak 11
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigaus. Nurniaer
leas instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess
of conjural or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidioes, though
not les, destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes
In a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broods civet his misfortune; ashamed to seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a
,new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatelpf all human blessings, a - .
strong, manly and vigorous constitution.
