" GENTLEMEN,—By your request I have, for several
weeks past, experimented your Bricks in my Works : I have
used them in the Cupelas, and find them wear longer than
any we have used before. In the Reverberatory Furnace I
find them still better, as they possess a property I have
never noticed in any other make : that of not shrinking
when exposed to intense heat. This quality will be highly
valuable where elliptic arches, of long span, are required.
I have used the Stourbridge make, and also several others
alongside of them, on the bridge, and found them to main-
tain their shape much setter than any I have yet tried.-1
remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" W. EDWARDS.

1H E above, and 208 other Medical Gentlemen, have given
the most flattering certificates of the great value and
superiority of WOODHOUSE'S /ETHEREAL ES-
SENCE of JAMAICA GINGER, which is particularly
recommended to all cold phlegmatic, weak, and nervous
constitutions. It is certain in affording instant relief in
Cholera Morbus, Spasms, Cramps, Flatulence, Hysterics,
Heartburn, Hiccup, Loss of Appetite, sensation of Ful-
ness, Pain and Oppression after Meals ; also those Pains of
the Stomach and Bowels which arise from Gouty Flatulen-
cies ; Digestion, however much impaired, is restored to its
prestine state, by the use of this Essence for a short time.—

soreness, tightness and oppression of the Chest ; and
most affections of the Chest and Lungs, relieved in ten
minutes, by taking one dose of WOODHOUSE'S BALSAM OF
SPERMACETI, or PECTORAL COUGH DROPS. Persons
doubting the efficacy of this Medicine, may take a dose in the
Proprietor's shop before they purchase. The Proprietor
earnestly recommends a trial of these Drops to persons af-
flicted with the above complaints, but he does not introduce
them as being an infallible cure, (as many do) but is warranted
in asserting their efficacy from the extensive relief afforded
in numerous cases of the above description. Constitutional
Coughs of three, four, and more years standing, have been
cured in the course of a week by the use of these Drops. In
the Hooping and Chin Coughs it will be found equally valu-
able ; it will at all times relieve the most violent Consumptive
Cough.—ln Bottles ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. Gd., and 10s. Gd.

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY

riCHE 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 yet 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,

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

MAJESTY.
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century been duly appreciated at

CHICHESTER: AND TRYIIIETROPOLIS.
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
bon vivants 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 of the Grape, the
fragrance Of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while _ _ _

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.

Don't like—don't buy,"
nd a good one ; 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.
