THE PARISIAN SILVER
WILL BE FOUND TO BE THE BEST SUBSTITUTE FOR
STERLING SILVER.

THIS BEAUTIFUL METAL, so nearly resembling
REAL SILVER as to deceive the BEST JUDGES,

has been discovered, after years spent in experiments, by
MONSIEUR BERTHOULD, THE CELEBRATED
CHEMIST OF PARIS. In the composition of this USE-
FUL METAL every ingredient is carefully excluded that is
injurious to HEALTH or disagreeable to the TASTE.
B. L. JOSEPH,

OF THE FURNISHING sr FANCY REPOSITORY,

has been fortunate enough. on his late visit to PARIS, to
purchase the SOLE RIGHT of using this SPLENDID
INVENTION for THIS COUNTRY and DEPENDEN-
CIES. He having just finished and ready for Sale a variety
of USEFUL ARTICEES, equal in FINISH and at about
ONE-TENTH the COST OF SILVER, begs to recommend
the use of them to Owners of STEAM-VESSELS, HO-
TELS, and PRIVATE FAMILIES.

SPECIFIC CURE FOR SPASMS

DR. BAYFIELD, R.N., Physician-Accoucheur, Mem-
ber of the University of Edinburgh, Member of the
College of Surgeons, &c. has the pleasure to announce to the
public and aged invalids especially, that he has discovered a
most invaluable Specific for the immediate relief and ultimate
cure of Spasms in the stomach and bowels, as well as of the
constitution generally, by which many valuable lives have
been preserved during an extensive practice for the last 16
years. He respectfully calls the reader's attention to the
following letter from a lady of rank, which he has selected
out of numbers he is able to produce.
" Cheltenham, Plough Hotel.

" Lady R- presents her Compliments to Dr. Bayfield,
and will thank him to send her another packet of his excel-
lent SPASMODIC TINCTURE. Lady R- has much
pleasure in thus bearing testimony to the benefit she has de-
rived from taking it, according to the directions, since which
she has had no return of her former distressing malady ; for
previous to a friend informing her of Dr. Bayfield's remedy,
she had been for years a martyr to the most excruciating
spasms. She therefore wishes to know whether Dr. B.
wishes her to continue taking the Tincture, it is now nearly
three months since she had an attack, but as she is about to
have Cheltenham for the north, she wishes to have a packet
to carry with her.
"March, 1839." _ _

The Spasmodic Tincture can only be purchased of Dr.
Bayfield at his residence, No. 18, NORTHAMPTON-SQUARE,
GOSWELL-ROAD, LONDON, in stopped bottles, price 2s. 2d.,
4s. 6d., and 95., duty included, which shall be forwarded im•
mediately on the receipt of a post-office order for the quan.
tity required, to any part of the three kingdoms.

--------BRANDY AND SALT.
THE ONLY AUTHENTIC EDITIONS ARE LEE'S
AND VALLANCE'S.
Just Published, by J. H. VALLANCE, Lowgate, Hull, (by
permission in writing of the discoverer, William Lee, Esq.)
a new Edition, revised and corrected, of a Pamphlet of 36
pages, price 6d., and a smaller Edition of 16 pages, price
3d, entitled
BRANDY and SALT, a Remedy for various external and
internal complaints, containing ample directions for
making and applying it in all cases of Gout, Rheumatism,
Inflammation, Consumption, Paralytic Attacks, Sore Legs,
&c, and containing a long list of astonishing cases of cure in
the town of Hull and neighbourhood, with the names and
addresses of the different parties, which may be all inquired
into.

To be had of Mr. Valiance, the Author, and of Mr.
STRANGE, 21, Paternoster-row, London.

Any person can have a Sixpenny or Threepenny Pamphlet
forwarded to any part of the kingdom by enclosing, in a
post paid letter, to Mr. Valiance, for the former a Sixpence
and a Twopenny Post Label, and for the latter a Fourpenny
piece. As J. H. V. receives a great many letters requesting
advice on particular cases, he begs to state that he cannot
undertake to answer any except a remittance of One Shilling
be made to him, and a penny post label to return the answer

free.
Mi. Valiance thinks it necessary to caution the Public
against certain spurious publications on Brandy and Salt
printed in London and elsewhere, the contents of which have
been pirated from his work or that of Mr. Lee, or both, and
in the attempt to disguise the original, the concoctors have
seriously and injuriously misadvised the use of the remedy.
The Public cannot, therefore, be too cautious in asking for
Vallance's or Lee's Edition, as none other are authentic
or to be depended upon. Steps will be immediately taken to
suppress the piracies.

RATHBONE-STREET WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
WINE AND SPIRIT VAULTS,
JAMES'S THE MIDDLEE GATE OF ST. JAMES'S MARKET.
IGHT Years ago, when the Proprietor first opened the
above Establishment, he bad no connexions to whom he
could appeal for support. He, consequently, felt the neces-
sity of adopting some principle of Trade, from which the
Public would derive a direct advantage, as well as himself ;
otherwise he could not reasonably anticipate a transfer of
patronage to his favour. To effect this, he directed his at-
tention to the following points, viz.,—To make quality the
leading consideration hi the purchase of every article for sale.
To sell for the most limited profit, to insure a heavy and
quick return. To buy for cash, so as to command the very
choicest goods in the market, on the best terms. To per-
sonally superintend his business with competent assistants.
By adhering steadily to these rules,
EDGAR ESTLIN has fully succeeded. The Public soon
perceived and embraced the advantages of such a system ;
and now the RATHBONE-STREET WINE and SPIRIT
ESTABLISHMENT stands unrivalled in Liverpool, not
only for the increase and extent of its business, but for the
cheapness and quality
of its goods.
E. ESTLIN contemplates making still further improve-
ments in his extensive Premise and for the purpose of
reducing his extensive and splendid STO!.:K, by the most
prompt and certain means, to carry this object into effect, he
has reduced it to the subjoined prices.
The WINES on sale are of full and delicious flavour; the
BRANDIES imported direct from Cognac; the WH I SKI ES
from the Islay and CanipbeltonDistilleries; the RUMS of
the choicest import, (Jamaica,) and Bonded in 1834.
