IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.

It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ' • that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. .To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at Is. 6d. each.

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portf_bility and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.
Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use avid high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name o
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and:it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
