MILK PUNCH ROYAL
MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER
MAJESTY.
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at

CHICHESTER AID THE IiIETROPOLIS.
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,

)y presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
:he present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
:hat 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 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 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 he constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.

" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and 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.
Sold, at 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen
in quarts, by B. HARAM, Wine, Spirit, Ale, and Porter
Merchant, 42, Chapel-street, who is appointed SOLE AGENT
or the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Staffordshire,
by Mr. Hudson. of Chichester. the Manufacturer of Milk
Punch to the Queen, by appointment.

FREEMAN'S CONCENTRATED SYRUP, OR,
SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
Patronised by her Majesty the Queen Dowager. many of
the Nobility, and most of the eminent Physicians and
Medical Men in London.

SENNA. is known by all to be the best and safest aperient
medicine which mankind possesses.
Question.—Why, then, is it not used in preference and to
the exclusion of all other purgatives?
.Answer.—Because of its nauseating ?ist‘and griping pro-
perties.

THE man who could dispossess so invaluable a medicine
of these two disagreeable qualities, it has long been re-
marked, would confer a blessing on mankind, to accomplish
which was considered impossible ; but it has at length been
effected by the proprietor of the above preparation, in which
is contained all the active principle of senna entirely deprived
of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste that no child will rifilsv to
take it, and which, while it is so peculiarly adapted to infancy
and youth, is at the same time a most desirable medicine for
persons of all ages, particularly ladies and those of delicate
constitution. Let every fond mother provide herself with
this valuable Domestic Aperient, and she will have reason to
bliss the day on which she became acquainted with this ME-
DICINAL NOVELTY, which is not only the best, the most
efficacious, and most agreeable purgative on earth, but is also
the cheapest medicine ever Made known, there being from
20 to 30 doses for an infant in one shilling bottle.—Prepared
only by the inventor, JOHN FREEMAN, Pharmaceutical Che-
mist, 13, Blackfriars-road, London, and sold by special ap-
pointment by Mr. LATIIDURY, Chemist, Castle-street, Li-
verpool, and may be had of all respectable Druggists, in
bottles at Is., 2s. 6d., and ss. each, bearing the proprietor's
signature. It will keep good in any climate, and is particu-
larly adapted to persons travelling abroad.

late a lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Iyo
Children, is by his permission submitted to the public.
