PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS

JJ.
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 Jous 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 Is. 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
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation

'THE EPITAPH of MARGERY SCOTT, in the Parish
1. Churchyard of Dunkehl, in Scotland :
Stop, reader, here, until my life you've read,
The living may gain knowledge from the dead :
Four times five years I lived.a virgin's life,
Ten times five years I was a =riled wife,
Ten times five years a widow, grave and chaste ;
Now, weary'd of this mortaClife, I rest.
I, from my cradle to my grave, have seen
Eight mighty Kings of Scotlandend a Queen ;
Four times five years the Comthonwealth I saw,
Ten times the subjects rise against the law;
Twice did I see old Prelacy pulled down,
And twice the cloak did sink beneath the gown ;
An end of Stuart's race I saw, nay, more,
I saw my country sold for English ore ;
Such desolation in my time has been,
That I've an end of all perfection seen.
