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-

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-

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY.
,___

THE opinion of several •eminentkniiie;;Sfraingbeen
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 Lozidon 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,

cash price ; or
The Directors will execute any of the above Works, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. the
square yard, 14 inch thick, inclusive of all expenses.
Directions for Use will be forwarded with any quantity.
And the Directors will guarantee the Durability of Works
executed by the Company!
