TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE DISPENSARIES.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
UHE Election of Mr. Stubbs to the Northern Hospital
causing a Vacancy in your Institutions, I now beg leave
to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the Office of HO-
NORARY SURGEON. Should I be elected, every at-
tention in my power shall be given to the interests of the

TO THE SUBSRIBERS TO THE LIVERPOOL
DISPENSARIES.
_

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
FINDING, at the commencement of my Personal Can-
vass, that, in the absence of an early knowledge of my
intention to become a Candidate, the greater part of my
numerous friends had either almost pledged themselves to
neutrality or promised their votes, 1 consider it more gracious
to the remaining Candidates, more respectful to you, and
certainly more in accordance with my own feelings, to at
once announce that, under the circumstances named, I
RETIRE from the contest.

To those friends, therefore, who have favoured me with
ieir proxies, or promises, and, indeed, to all whom I have had
le pleasure of meeting during my canvass, I return my best
❑anks for their kindness towards me, and remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
H. J. CATTY, Surgeon.

MILK PUNCH ROYAL

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

AIAJESTY

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
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,

)3, presenting to him the freedom of the toWn; but with that
be present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
;hat this ELIXIR

s now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
on vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.

It would be 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 of 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 transcendent 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._
