London, STAY AND CORSET MAKER to her
most Gracious Majesty the Queen, her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, her Majesty the Queen of Holland, and Royal
Family, has the honour to announce that she has arrived at
MRS. RILEY'S, 76, SEEL-STREET, seven doors from
Berry-street, where she will remain till Monday, the Ist
March, to suit Ladies with her celebrated newly.invented
ANATOMICAL, DRESS, &c., &c., STAYS, which by
the total rejection of all uneven pressure, may be worn by
the most delicate invalid, at the same time yielding a most
salutary support, snd producing a figure of such exquisite
symmetry, that, attempted by any other stay, would almost
amount to suffocation. To young ladies, and growing chil-
dren, this invention may be termed of vital importance, as it
is during the first thirty years of female existence that the
ordinary stay produces its fatal consequences, and engenders
in the system a variety of frightful diseases, ninety:seven of
which are quoted at length, with their authorities, in "De.
fortuities of the Chest and Spine," by W. Coulson, Esq,;
second edition.

LIVERPOOL.
A/r BAXTER, having been nearly six months in Liver-
IR. pool, and completed some remarkable cures, testimo-

of taking up his permanent residence in Liverpool. He,
therefore, begs to make the following proposal to those who
have the means and the wish of assisting their fellow crea-

so, in the hope that the strictest inquiry will be made into
every case.
