LOCAL MILITIA.

WANTED, by a Regiment of Local Militia,
a Serjeant Major, who is fully qualified to fill the situa •
tion —Personal application, and letters (pest paid) addressed to
Captain and Adjutant Walker, Halifax Local Militia, will be at-
tended to.

IN the exclusive treatment of Venereal Complaints
and Debility, Messrs.l.eigh and Co. trust that the integrity of
their conduct, the inviolable secrecy which they always observe,
and the superiority of skill which must be attained by the concen-
tration of practice to one branch, will afford to them a continu-
ance of public confidence.

'They assume .to claim to superior merit, except that which
might be equally acquired by any other MLmbers of the Colleges
of Surgeons or Physicians confining their practice to one Class of
Disease. A Diploma from the College of Surgeons in London,
and Testimonihls, from the most eminent Physicians and Lectu-
rers of regular education and assiduous attention to the studies of
every branch of their profession, :are open to the inspection of any
inquirer, and constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented suc-
cess with which they have hitherto been so liberally honoured.
In recent cases of the Venereal Disease, the cure is almoq in-
stantly completed without pain. In the most complicated >tagea
where other Practitioners have failed, they offer a safe and a per-
manent re-establishment.

In those distressing Deficiencies which arc caused by a secret
solitary habit, or by too much indulgence in the rites of Venus or
Bacchus, even in the most deplorable stages of Debility, a ptop2r
perseverance in their plan ensures to the Patient a restoratiou to
vigorous health.

No. 29, Arundel•street, Strand, near Temple Ear.—There is
an additional entrance in Water-street, adjoining.
Patients in the country inclosing a Two pound Note, are re-
quested to specify their ar, manner of living, &c..

R. GILB ERT's VEGETABLE ANTI-
"-, SCORBUTIC DROPS, in bottles at 224. and a smaller
size at as. 64.

The variety of diseases that prevail at this season of the year,
generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitiated
stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest confi-
dence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalled
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and cure
for numerous diseases,particularly the land and sea scurvy, cancers,
king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any part of the
body, leprosy, eruptions alter the small pox or measles, inflamma-
tion in the eyes, St. Anthony's tire, rheumatism and rheumatic
lgout, slow, nervous, and intermitting levers, and all the long train
of disorders which attend the scurvy internally.
Remarkable care of a cancer in the face, whereby rreat part of
the nose was consumed, the face and eyes dreadfully inflamed, and
the head distracted with pain, which facts were verified on the
oath of Win. Croitt. The following is the copy.of the affidavit
taken at the Guildhall, Plymouth, the 91st day of December, I SW.
—Thomas Eales, Esq. Mayor.
I Wm. Croitt, late of the borough of Sakash, but now of the
borough of Plymouth, in the county of Devon, do voluntarily
make oath, that I was afflicted with a cancer in my face for up-
wards of ten months ; I had a very painful wound seated in my
nose, the greatest part of my face was dreadfully inflamed, attended
with the most acute pain that could be endured—my head was
also distracted with pain, and my eyes so severely affected that I
could not bear the light, and (Adige(' me to sit whole days tope
ther with my head on my knees or some other support. During
my affliction I tried various medicines, as well from the faculty as
others, without receiving the least relief, and the disease increased
daily; worn out with pain,, no prospect of relief, and having
exhausted the earnings of many hard years labour, I was a:most
reduced to a state of despondency, when I was advised to make
trial of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscorbutic Drops : the strong
recommendation of those who had received cures from the medi-
cine, gave me hope it would succeed, and this hope was realized ;
by the time I had taken the second bottle the pain entirely left
ene, the wound daily got better, and by the time I had taken five
bottles, I gained a perfect cure. Witness my hand,
