GENUINE BEAR'S GREASE ! ! at M. KELLY'S,
Pr 11.FUUER, 63, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. A fine
young Bear was lately slaughtered. The Grease, of the
finest quality, may be had in Pots, at is. 6d., 2s. 6d.,. and
Ss. 6d., and the Marrow in Bottles, at 10s. 6d.
The imposition practised on the Public by persons vending
a composition called " Bears Grease," without a particle of
the genuine fat therein, having brought this inestimable arti-
cle into disrepute, has induced M. K. to have the Animals
fed and slaughtered on the premises. On Tuesday next, the
Bth instant, at Twelve o'clock, another fine young Bear
(which may now be seen alive) will be slaughtered. The
Carcase will afterwards be exhibited in the Window of the
Shop in Bold-street. The genuine Grease, either prepared
or as cut from the animals, may be had at per ounce. Any
Gentleman wishing to have a shot, may be gratified on appli-
cation to Mr. Kelly.
M. K. has the satisfaction of acquainting the Gentry of
Liverpool that E. Fox is engaged as PRINCIPAL ASSISTANT,
and the talents he possesses as Hair Dresser and Wig Maker
is a sufficient guarantee that all orders sent to 63, BOLD-
STREET, will be executed in first-rate style.

known excellence, may be had :
FOX'S TOOTH POWDER. .

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS

- -
JT PRIESTLEY, 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 pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have 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 Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz
Powders in Packets.

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.
It has been observed that the Soda Water, 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 con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. 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, &41. 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.
PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.
A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of
that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid
and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can-
not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will
take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of
Citron it forms an effervescing draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le-
monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can
be more agreeable.
PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.
These pills are purely Vegetable, and to those troubled with
Indigestion or sensation of fulness at the stomach after meals
they are invaluable.—ln Boxes at is. and 2s. 6d. each.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL
Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at Is. 3d. and 38. each.

CHEMICAL MARKING INK,
For Writing on Linen with a Common Pen.
This is very suporior to the generality of what are called
Permanent inks. I( gives a most brilliant black, which can-
not be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the
same time destroying the linen. Families may be accommo-
dated with the Improved Permanent Ink and Preparation
separately, if required.--6old in Cates, ls. 6cl. and 3s.

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 vet 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,

verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. the
square yard each, inclusive of all expenses.

And the Directors will guarantee the Durability of Works
executed by the Company.

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. LATHBURY, Chemist, Castle-street, Li-
verpool, and may be had of all respectable Druggists, in
bottles at Is., 2s. 6d., 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, 1840.
" 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 for 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., Black friars-road."

MILK PUNCH ROYAL !
MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER
MAJESTY.

;THIS unique and neciWrioiiSLiqueur has, for nearly
1 century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon vivant. of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.

It would he quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
-flavour, possesses the combined sweetness cif the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
. .

has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA. SICKNESS.
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine , excellence,
improves by age.

- LE GRAND GOURMAND
-will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
.Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur. . . _

:is an old saying al: dridaoognmo'etodolike—don't buy,"
and try,
and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
.assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
Sold, at 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen
in quarts, by B. HARAM, Wine, Spirit, Ale, and Porter
Merchant, 42, Chapel-street, who is appointed SOLE AGENT

Punch to the Queen, by appointment.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF,
Under the patronage of his late 21fajesty, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury,)
TS universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy
in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is
completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with
the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to
remove whatever secretion may have been produced during
the night.
Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.)
He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system,
and recommends its universal adoption. Dated Nov. 10,1831.
G. J. GUTHRIE, Esq., F.R.S.—This eminent surgeon

From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re-
ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware,
Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un-
questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the
sight even to extreme old age.—Editor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Soc ety's Works, page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by
the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the
aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as

a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been
fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of
Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar-
ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye,
ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain
care."—Editor.

" There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the
devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—
which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten-
tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful
and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly

its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential

and important service to persons of studious habits, and of
weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous
medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits,
and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng-
land, 11th January, 1840.
" We should be glad to see this snuff in general use.
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle.
" GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys-
tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we
rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being
a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra-
tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity,
having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speecEly removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.

s Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already
posseised by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals

SlR,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time,
a friend who had received benefit from using your eye snuff
recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of your
2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im-

proved; the weakness and dimness is removed; and, sir, it
is my wish wish that you make this known for the good of
the public.

March 31, 1838.
SIRS I have been afflicted for many years with a severe
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical
advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine,
without receiving any relief ; but I am now &lighted to say,
with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
1 have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I
am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the
smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age.
This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give
it to you or to ansr respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
E. ROBSON.

_ 7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, Jan. 2G, 1839

Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-
ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye
snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head
and dimness of sight. 'I naturally concluded (being in my
69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised
by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary
virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it
a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit
I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena
bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief
in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign
virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom-
mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those
afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,
To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLE.
To W. Grimstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-rt.
Whitehall, March 8, 1838.

Mr. Griinstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should
offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have
derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com-
pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong,
and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have
not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr.
Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my
undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug-
gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be
necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known
in any manner you think best.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. B. LACHFIELD.
P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav-
ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and a3s 4d canister. You

reign. J. B. L.
