In order to prevent a great deal of trouble to myself, and
unnecessary expense of postage to those at a distance, who
wish to come under my care, I beg to inform them what
cases I can cure. _ _ _

There is no external disease that the eye is incident to but
what I can cure, such as pearls and scums. In case of in-
flammation, I pledge myself never to fail. Cataracts I can-
not cure, but can prevent them if I have the patient in time.
Of amaurosis, I can cure seven cases out of ten ; and all, if
they would come to me when they first perceive the dimness
of the eye coming on.
I particularly request every one intending to come under
my care, if they have friends either in Hull or Bradford, to
write and get them to call on every case, to know whether
the above statement be true or false, as there are so many
impostors going about, setting forth that they have per-
formed extraordinary cures, when, on inquiry, such cures
have not been performed. The remedy is of the simplest
kind ; it requires no restriction as to diet or regimen • bleed-
ing or blistering is not necessary ; and it may be adminis-
tered, with perfect safety, to the tenderest infant.
Mr. CHILD may be consulted every day, from Ten to
Two, at Mrs. Davies's, 23, Islington-terrace, Liverpool,
where he will remah until Saturday the 23d of February ;
from thence he will proceed to Manchester, and remain there
until the 9th of March, whert‘he may be consulted at Mrs.
WHARTON'S, 22, Falkener-street.

DAILY CARRIERS, by water, to Manchester, York-
shire, &c., beg leave most respectfully to return their sincere
thanks for the extensive patronage and support they have
received since they commenced the above business, and to
assure the Public generally, and their Friends particularly,
that no exertions on their part shall be wanted to merit a
continuance of the confidence and support which have been
so liberally reposed in them.
