PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY

THE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of this Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that it is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, and is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now in use, while its
price, the carriage from London included, is considerably
less.

The Directors, before mentioning the various uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have great pleasure in calling 'the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all the resources of which such a material
was capable.
The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feeling
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudices
against its use which carelessness of application has alone
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to the
following purposes, viz. :
To the Covering of Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges,

Catacombs: Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c.
To the Paving of Pathways, Court Yards, Garden Walks,
Stables, Coach-houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses,
Granaries, Warehouses, Wharfs, Esplanades, Cause-
ways, &c.
To be delivered in Liverpool or Manchester, at £3 per Ton,

FREEMAN'S CONCENTRATED SYRUP, OR,
SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
Patronised by her Majesty the Queen Dowager. many of
the Nobility, and most of the eminent Physicians and
Medical Men in London.
SENNA is known by all to be the best and safest aperient
medicine which mankind possesses.
Question.—Why, then, is it not used in preference and to
the exclusion of all other purgatives ?
Answer.—Because of its nauseating taste and griping pro-
perties.
THE man who could dispossess so invaluable a medicine
of these two disagreeable qualities, it has long been re-
marked, would confer a blessing on mankind, to accomplish
which was considered impossible ' • but it has at length been
effected by the proprietor of the above preparation, in which
is contained all the active principle of senna entirely deprived
of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste that no child will refuse to
take it, and which, while it is so peculiarly adapted to infancy
and youth, is at the same time a most desirable medicine for
persons of all ages, particularly ladies and those of delicate
constitution. Let every fond mother provide herself with
this valuable Domestic 'Aperient, and she will have reason to
bless the day on which she became acquainted with this ME-
DICINAL NOVELTY, which is not only the best, the most
efficacious, and most agreeable purgative on earth, but is also
the cheapest medicine ever Made known, there being from
20 to 30 doses for an infant in one shilling bottle.—Prepared
only by the inventor, JOHN FREEMAN, Pharmaceutical Che-
mist, 13, Blackfriars-road, London, and sold by special ap-
pointment by Mr. LATIIBURY, Chemist, Castle-street, Li-
verpool, and may be had of all respectable Druggists, in
bottles at ls., 2s. Gd., and ss. each, bearing the proprietor's
signature. It will keep good in any climate, and is particu-
larly adapted to persons travelling abroad.
The following testimonial of a most eminent physician,
late a lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and
Children, is by his permission submitted to the public.
" 7, Upper Kennington-lane, Vauxhall,
Sept. 17, 1810.
" Dear Sir,—l am happy in again bearing testimony to
the value of your excellent Concentrated Syrup of Senna,
with respect to which my experience has assured me of its
absence of griping and nauseating properties, its pure and
unadulterated preparation, containing within a comparatively
small bulk the whole of the essential principle of that valuable
medicine, together with the fact of its being so efficacious as
in my opinion to supersede in a majority of cases the use of
those violent and drastic purgatives, calomel, aloes, and jalap.
These qualities, combined with the additional advantage of
its very agreeable taste, render it a most valuable aperient,
calculated not only for general domestic purposes, but which
,is more particularly adapted fur the lying-in room and the
nursery, inasmuch as it may be administered to children of
the tenderest age with pleasure and great advantage.
" I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
"JOHN POWER, M.D.
„To John Freeman, Esq., Blackfriars-road."
