PRIEsTLeY's SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
• particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly-cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style
of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accuracy,
and although numbers of people acquainted with the business,
and others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have
invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither pos-
sessing the agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties of

the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in boxes 2s. each, containing twenty-four powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in tin cases 10s. each.
The latter are put up in a very eligible form for exportation,
or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all cli-
mates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEWiLEY No.
64, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidl' Powders in
Packets.
IMPROVED SODA POW, RS.
It has been observed, that the Soda Vhter, 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.

...11,•••..,
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience greati inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will he 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 and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
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.
Sold in bottles, at 4s. Gd., 7s. Gd., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beautiful
natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar softness of
texture, and luxuriant appearance.—Sold in bottles at Is. 3d.

CHEMICAL MARKING INK.

Permanent Inks. It gives a most brilliant black, which cannot
be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the same
time destroying the linen. Families may be accommodated
with the improved Permanent Ink and Preparation separately
if required.—Sold in Cases, is 6d, and 3s.

FURNITURE OIL,
For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture.
DIRECTIONS.—First clean the Furniture from wax or other
composition that may have been previously used, then take a
little of this Oil, and with a soft piece of Flannel apply it all
over ; and for the first time let it remain on twelve hours.
After wiping it off with another piece of soft Flannel, continue
rubbing it till a beautiful polish is produced. A little used
twice a week is sufficient to ensure the brightness and durab-
ility of the Furniture.—Half-pint Bottles Is, pints is 9d,

ing Brass mounted Carriage, Gig, or Coach Harness.—Sold

SCOURING DROPS.
The purpose of this useful article is for taking Grease Spots
out of Silks, Stuffs, fine Woollen Cloths, &c., without in-
juring the finest fabric or most delicate colour. The best
method of using the Scouring Drops is, to spread the Silk,
&c., on a table, with a clean napkin under it, and put a few
drops on a bit of new or very clean Flannel, and rub the spot
until it disappears; then with a clean napkin rub it till quite
dry. It leaves no more stain than a drop of water, which
hanging a few hours in the air, or a few days' wear, will take
away.—Price ls.
