• Connoisseurs in Cigars, their Friends, and the Public,
that they have taken the above Premises, lately in the occu-
pation of Mr. Penlington, Watchmaker, which they intend
OPENING IN A FEW DAYS.

The selection they have made of CIGARS will not be sur-
passed by any Establishment in the Kingdom, they having
formed business connexions with one of the firs aunfactur-
ers in Havana for a constant supply of the v nest descrip-
tions, and will have ready for inspection rly in the week, a
choice and well-selected Stock of th owing Cigars : viz.,

MEERSCHAUMS, SNUFF-BOXES, SCOTCH
DITTO, &c. &c. are all of the best and newest designs, and

have been personally selected in London. V
H. R. M. and Co. beg leave to intimate to those 1

who have so handsomely promised their support to this Es-
tablishment, that the above Premises are situated at the cor-
ner of Parker-street, on the left hand leading from St. Peter's
Church, and exactly opposite to Messrs. Willrner & Smith'i,
News Agents. They have been compelled to be thus parti-
cular, from the fact of many of their friends having mistaken
another establishment in the same locality, carrying on the
same business, for the one about to be opened by themselves,
which has arisen from the unavoidable delay incidental to the
opening of a New Concern.

GOUT, RHEUMATISM, AND LUMBAGO
WATT'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS

7o Mr. Watts, Coventry. --.
SIR,—Having derived the most essential benefit by taking
your Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I should be very un.
grateful were I not to make public testimony of their effects.
I have been attacked with Rheumatic Gout three times in the
last twelve months ; the first time I was under my usual
Medical Attendant, and was confined for eight weeks—the
second time I took, according t the directions, the medicine
called Blair's Gout Pills, but i of derive any benefit
lie
for
seven years—in the last attac e most severe of the three,
I was recommended by Mr. Morton, your agent for Hinckley,
to take your Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which gave me
immediate relief, and removed every symptom in the course
of a week. I have since recommended them to two persons
*,th Face Ache, the other with Rheumatism, both of
were cured by one small box.—l am, sir, yonra
ally, JOHN ORTON. '
Bey Stanton, Leicestershire, July 8, 1839:
.:eabove is another proof of the astonishing efficacy
of
these celebrated Pills, which have in a few years outrivalled by
• Lumbago, Sciatica, Paralytic Affections, other medicines in use, for the Gout, 'Rheumaticßheumatism, G.„otti,
°Tls, Face
ache, Pains in the Limbs, Diseases of the Bladder, Urethra,
the safest, and most expeditious, and c
&c. They are applauded by all classes of society, as the best,
they are, in fact, the only certain curees y for these dis_

tant ; ap
tressing complaints; their operation is almost imperceptible;
they do not require the slightest confinement or any alteration
in the usual avocations of life ; they relieve the most acute
suffering in a few hours, and invariably effect a cure in a few
days, as thousands who have been restored to health and
vigour by their use can testify, after all other remedies had
failed, and who were deemed past recovery by medical men
of the first eminence. Nearly one hundred well authenticated
testimonials are given with each box of the pills.
