IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
KEARSLEVS ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every Lady, having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually moving obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconve ences to which the
female frame is liable, especially it se which, at an early
period of life, frequently arise farm want of exercise and
general debility of the system : they create an appetite, cor-
rect indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache,
and are eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the
stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart :
being perfectly innocent, may be used with safety in all sea-
sons and climates. Sold by SANGER, 150, Oxford-street,
and by most respectable Medicine vendors in town and
country, at 2s. 9d. per box. The following is one of the
numerous cases recently received by the proprietor :
To Mrs. Kearslev.—Madam--I think it my duty to state
the very great benefit I have derived from taking your inva-
luable Pills, they having restored me, I consider, from the
brink of the grave. I lived servant in the house of an emi-
nent physician, where of course I had the very best advice
and every attention, but at last, in consequence of extreme
debility and confirmed dropsical symptoms, I was obliged to
leave my place, and was considered in a deep decline. I
then, through the recommendation of a friend, purchased a
box of your Widow Welch's Pills, which, with the addition
of two other boxes, have at length restored me to perfect
health.—l beg to subscribe myself, Madam, your much
obliged and humble servant,

BQROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
SHOPKEEPERS' ASSISTANTS.,
AT A PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitards to inquire
into the complaints of the Assistants Clerks in the
employment of Retail Traders : and in cao6 su
chu complaints
appear reasonable, to consider andAetermine on any
RECOMMENDATION to the PUBLIC, and the
EMPLOYERS, for a CURTAILMENT of the HOURS
of LABOUR, called by the Mayor, in compliance with a
REQUISITION numerously and respectably signed :
THOMAS BOLTON Esq., Mayor, in the Chair.
_

On the motion of ADAM HODGSON, Esq., seconded by the

Rev. HUGH MiNEILi,

It was Resolved,

That this Meeting has learned with deep regret that the
}Tours of Business among Shopkeepers constitute an unna-
tural amount of labour—that the system without bringing
advantage to the Employers, has the most debasing and in-
jurious effect upon their Servants, interfering seriously with
their health, and in a great degree precluding all opporturay
for intellectual, moral and religious improvement.
On the motion of JAMES MOLYNEUX, Esq., seconded by
the Rev. F. BARKER,

It was Resolved,

That the Petition of the Shopkeepers' Assistants, that their
labours may be abridged to Ten Hours a-day, appears to
this Meeting to be quite reasonable ; that such time would
amply suffice for all the purposes of business, and would
leave leisure for healthful recreations, for the performance
of the higher duties of man, and for a due preparation for a
future state.

On the motion of W. B. HODGSON, Esq., seconded by th
- Rev. F. OULD,

It was Resolved,

That such an amendment of the system can be effected
only by the co-operation of the Public with the Employers ;
and this Meeting earnestly recommends to every class of
persons so to accommodate their domestic arrangements as
ake their purchases by day, and not in the evening,—so
those Shopkeepers who abridge the hours of business
may not be losers by their just and liberal concession.
On the motion of Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY, seconded by Mr.
CHESNEY,
It was Resolved,

That in the opinion of this meeting ten hours each day
(Sundays excepted) are amply sufficient for transacting the
necessary business of the Shopkeeper, and the release from
further labour would greatly promote the moral, religious,
and social improvement of the assistants ; that the persons
now present pledge themselves cheerfully to submit to any
trifling inconvenience that may arise from the proposed re-
laxation, and to support and encourage those tradesmen who
conform to the wishes of the Inhabitants, expressed through
the present meeting, publicly convened for the purpose.
That these Resolutions be signed by the Mayor, on behalf
of the meeting, and be advertised in each of the public
journals_ THOS. BOLTON, Mayor.

The Mayor having left the Chair,
On the motion of the Rev. K_BARICER, seconded by the

Rev. F. OULD,

The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Hia
Worship, for calling the meeting, and for his conduct in the
Chair.
