must return Tou my most grateful thanks for your
t Pills, which have given me entire retie( from Rheuma-
tism, with which I had been afflicted a considerable time in my
body, and latterly with great severity in my head, but after
taking one box, the disease is altogether eradicated. Previous
to taking the Pills, the pain in my head was excruciating,
but in three days I bad great relief,: and in nine days was
completely cured, and have bad no return since.

*** This patient had been under the treatment of one of
the most respectable practitioners in town for three weeks,
and had used Colchicum, &c. without the slightest benefit.
Greenock, 27th November, 1833.
Sir,—lt is six years in September last since I wasattacked
with severe Rheumatism, and I may safely say that. I have
tried every medicine I could hear of to get relief. Wilson's
Gout Tincture and Colchicum, I have taken in abundance,
but with title relief. I sent to the Apothecaries' Hall, and
got a box of your Pills, and in two weeks I got great relief ;
and in three weeks, I was able to get out of' bed and walk
about the room, without the aid of a stick, although pre-
viously I could not walk without the use of crutches. When
I commenced your medicine, I was reduced to skin and bone,
my legs not being much thicker than the crutcbes which sup-
ported me. lam recovering rapidly, and ant confident your
invaluable medicine will completely restore me.

LIVERPOOL DOMESTIC MISSION SOCIETY.
A T the SECOND GENERAL ANNUAL MEET-
ING of the LIVERPOOL DOMESTIC MISSION
SOCIETY, held in Renshaw-street Chapel, on TuesDAY,
the Ist of January, 1839.
J. P. HEYWOOD, Esq., in the Chair;
The report of the Committee and the Treasurer's Accounts
having been read, the following resolutions were unanimously
passed.
Moved by WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq.; seconded by Rev.
J. H. THOM,
I.—That the Report of Rev. J. Johns, detailing the oper-
ations of the Mission during its second year, fully justifies
the rational expectations of the founders; and by its modest
statement-of results, increases our confidence, both in the
great principles of the institution, and in the patient devoted-
ness of its Minister.
Moved by Rev. J. Ma ezlNEsti; seconded by Dr.
REYNOLDS,
2.—That this Society gratefully acknowledges the gene-
rosity of a friend and coadjutor, who has procured a house in
the Minister's District to be devoted to the service of the
Mission; and rejoices that thus a new stability is given to
the Institution, and a place assigned for Instruction and
Worship, where Christian importunity may hope to copel'
even the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind to cmome
in' from the 'highways' of toil and misery.
Moved by THOMAS TticieNELY, Esq. M.P.; seconded by
W. S. RoscoE. Esq.
a—That we discern a peculiar call to exertion in the pre-
sent season of scarcity, which, by adding to the physical
sufferings, must inevitably increase the social uneasiness and
moral evil prevalent among the most neglected classes; and
we would renew our resolution to persevere in behalf of an
Institution, which declares the brotherhood of all mankind.
Moved by THOMAS BOLTON, Esq, seconded by the Rev.
HENRY GILES.
4.—That the Report of the Comniittee of the past year be
approved, and it proceedings confirmed ; thatthe Ti easurer's
Accounts, as now read, having been audited, be passed; and

AND PILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL MA I:I4IORATUM.
MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, S EEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the:least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the
primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can
effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap-
plication without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla-
ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me-
tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged Forty Guineas
Loose teeth fastened, arising either, from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Ar-
tificial teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and
restared equal in beauty and durability to their original state.
Attendance from nine till seven, and on Sundays from nine
till two.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.
Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any

deleterious ingredient.
**l' With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal
and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak-
ness &c. containing hints worth knowing l,v those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.
Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause t►v
which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor-
ous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, be conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure.of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation. it was sought after with
avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most
minue and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the
cure of which they have been so long celebrate.d. The fame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the Lune continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which. has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action 1
the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the most sceptical of their aston►shing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of discovery—they require no restra►nt of diet, loss of t►me,
or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse
to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive. by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persona have been when vis►t►ng
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests,
by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person
going a long voyage or journey. their properties are such
that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.
Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eiylit
in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A PEE.
