PARKS COMMITTEE.

'THE COMMITTEE appointed by the Town Council
on the 10th instant, to inquire how far it is practicable
at the present time, to obtain Land, either within or contigu-
ous to the boundary of the Borough, for the purpose of
forming PARKS, to be for ever kept open for the benefit
and enjoyment of the increasing population of this Borough,
and to what extent, and at what probable cost such Land
may be procured, in suitable situations, and to report to
the Council the result of their inquiry, request such of the
inhabitants as may feel disposed to offer suggestions on the
site for a Public Park or Parks, Walks, Drives, &c, to favour
the Committee with the same, addressed to the Chairman of
the Parks Committee.

PRIESTLEY'S SE.IPLITZ TOWDERS.

PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
0 • 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 pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, hare of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters..
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cafes, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible for for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any lengtii of time
in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOH PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be ad Seidlitz
Powders in Packets.
IMPROVED SODA POWDE .
It has been observed that the Soda Water when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carri eofit to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and co derable expense ;
and that, from these inconveniences, its se has been con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their en rons. To obviate
these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and
efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered
to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at ls. 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 portability 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 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
miurioudto the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
