Parton of the Parini :—but instead of fpelling and
pointing it properly, viz.—

NEXT MONDAY TEN THOUSAND POUNDS FIRST-
DRAWN.—HoRwsaY and Co. I:zg leave to remind
their Friends, and the public, that the prefent grand
State Lottery commences drawing on Monday next.
Tickets and Shares are on title in great variety of
numbers, and at the Lowell prices. N. B. Prizes
paid on demand, whether a zol. or a 30,0001. at their
office, No. z 6. Cornbill.
flit be confidered, how inadequate 25 or 3o thou
land tickets in a Lottery Scheme mull necetiai ily be
for fupplying the demand of Britilh, frith, and con-
tinental adventurer,, the piir:ipal reafun will be
manifeit, why a conliderable advance in their price
has, of late years, fo uniformly taken place, previ.
ous to the commencement of the Drawing. But
how moth more likely is fuck an advance to be ex-
perienced in a Lottery of fo very fupetior a defcrip-
tion as the prcfent ; wherein nearly two hundred
thoufand pounds are devoted to capital prizes, and
even its firft drawn number entitled to to,oool. To
thefe confide' ations, that of its very near commence-
ment, is of no (mall importance.
The general antipathy we feel from childhood to
medicine, induces us to delay remedies when we really
want diem. If difeafe does not alarm our. watchful

friends; the neceflary quantity, confinement, and
dread of naufeous medicines, add to our repugnance.
When affikted with Gout, Rheumatifm, Scorbutic
Eruptions, weak Digestion, or Nervous Affe4:l ens,
they are removed by SPILSBURY'S PATENT ANTI-
SCORUUTIC DROPS, the dole of which is a few drops,
and no rearaint of diet or exercife. To avoid coun-
terfeits, afic for Spilfb y's Patent Antifcorbutic Drops,
with tl:e Stiimp (the King's dut y ) printed in black ink:
fold at the Ditpenfary, N 0.15, Solos.fiinare, in bottle;
