PHYSICIANS' AND SURGEONS' PRESCRIPTIONS
ACCURATELY PREPARED.
FAMILY AND SEA MEDICINE CHESTS FITTED UP.

PRIESTLEY'S CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR FLUID
EXTRACT OF THE FINEST JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that well-
known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is
Prepared by a peculiar and scientific method, by which the
whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are preserved ;
and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir-
tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial
effects have been particularly striking in the following coin-
Plaints :—Nocturnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlarge-
ment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheuma-
tism, &c., &c, •, in freeing the system after a course of Mer-
cury, its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the
blood,
and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and
regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous In-
flammation, from which so many persons periodically suffer;
and when taken in the Spring and Fan of the Year as an Altera-
tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the
constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appe-
tite, and freshness of the complexion.
Prepared and sold only by John Priestley, 52, Lord-street,
Liverpool, in bottles at 115., 225., and 335. per bottle.
N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes
are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shilling bottles for
2, and cases equal to Five for £5, upon receipt of a Post-
office order.
This Preparation will keep in any climate.
SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the
Eholybeate Wafers of Cermany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and
combine scientific skill with great accuracy; and though num-
bers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have
of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been
found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agree-
able flavour nor the. eamecdhicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
u
Sold in- foxes, each, containing fi
twenty-four Powders, to
make one dozen tumblerl in Tin Cases.
CITRATED EFFERVESCENT SIAGNESIAN APERIENT.
" This delightful compound is recommended in Tsai
tions, Indigestion, Gout, Costiveness, and for the ;ruevseAfntrl""- n
of all disorders that have their seat in the digestive organs.o
The citrated flavour and the carbonic acid gas evolved render
it peculiarly grateful to the Stomach, and an admirable correc-
tive when a too free indulgence has impaired its energies.
Prepared and sold only at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in bottles
at 2s. 9d. and 48. fid. each.
