SOLUBLE COCOA,
Manufactured and Sold til,desale by
`PRITCHARD AND CORNTHWAITE,
TLIVERPOOL.
HE various ,preparations of the COCOA NUT have ob-
tained considerable reputation as articles cf diet for in-
'all& as well as affording grateful beverages in health. The
Nut from which they are prepared is of a farinaceous nature,
combined with a peculiar kind of oil and aroma, and so well
blended naturally, that it has been thought to contain alkaline
properties also. 'lt is a bland, sweet, and nourishing food, and,
when desirable to support the constitution, without producing
excitement, it is esteemed by the faculty as one of the best
beverages for breakfast, luncheon, &c. A French physician
has asserted, that oneounce of chocolate contains more nutri-
ment than a pound of beef; and the experience of many other
physicians.. of whom may be enumerated. Hoffman, Cullen,
Quincy. and Raabe, has determined, that in hectic, scorbutic,
andmelancholic diseases, it is generally prefera'‘..-. to any other
idiet. Water is the best solvent of it, although milk is the more
agreeable, and, therefore, more generally used. As it is of a
lubricating character, advantage has often been derived front
the use of it in gout and diseases of the alimentary canal.
"Chocolate is sold in Paris for the relief of cough, arising
from a deficiency of the natural mucus of the throat, and is
given to children of a scrofulous tendency, to noutish the con- atitution.
_ [The above is an extract from a work published in London,
by a respectable Chemist, on the properties of various articles
of
In diet and
Greer
Fhilrs's Historical
at and Botanical account of Fruits known
ritaiu, are the following remarks on Cocoa:
"The Generic name is derived from two Greek words, signi-
fying the fond of the gods.
• hocolate is esteemed the most restorative of all aliments,
insonanch that one mace of it is said to nourish as much as a
,pound of beef."
The Magazine of Useful Knowledge for 1833, page 120, re-
The late reduction of duty will, probably, bring
Coca into mere general consumption, as it is now half the
price of Coffee, and one-fifth that of Tea, and certainly far
more nutritious than either."
Soluble Cocoa is an entirely new and improved preparation
of Cocoa, which wants only to be known to be esteemed. It
possesses all the best qualities of Chocolate, and is more easily
prepared for use, being perfectly soluble. It requires only to
a used in the saute proportion as Coffee; pour a little hot water
upon it, beat into a paste, add the remainder of water or milk
mill it well, and it is fit for immediate use. Sweeten to
the palate.
N.B.—lt should never be made before wanted, as it may be
prepared for the table in less than one minute.

The following sorts of Prepared and Soluble Cocoa and Cho-
colate are manufactured and sold wholesale by PRITCHARD and

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN PILLS, for the
• effectual extirpation of every species and symptom' of the
SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from
improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 54. SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.

Warranted not to contain COPA IB A, CUBIBS, or any
deleterious ingredient.
4Y' With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and
Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness,
&c.... containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or
have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady.
Dr. DAV I ESON continues to direct his studies to those dis-
orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence
of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of
nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de-
bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha-
bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers
of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and
speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the re
neva' disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who,
by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley-
den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man-
'kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this
deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in the most minute and, intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so
long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
caused their speedy introduction into almost every country. The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thousands. In fact, (luring the long conti-
nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
H vgeian Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri-
fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different
functions of the body expelling the krosser humours, and in a
manner so mild an imperceptible as to convince the most
sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be
taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require
no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but
effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
well to have recourse to the Hygeian Pills, for when taken be-
fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
.preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
The deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by
sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going
ts long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither
heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due
effects nn the constitution.

That the present severe privations of the poor, arising from
disease, the inclement state of the weather, and the consequent
want of employment, taken into connexion with the reduced
balance in the Treasurer's hands, sufficient merely to meet the
calls upon the Society only for a few weeks hence, constitute,
in the opinion of this meeting, a strong ground of appeal to a
benevolent public for increased contributions to the Society's
funds; and that, therefore, a copy of these Resolutions be
inserted in the Liverpool papers.
WILLIAM COMER, Chairman.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be presented to the Chair-
man for his kindness in presiding on this occasion.

AT a MEETING for RELIEVING the DISTRESSES of
the POOR, held in the PARISH-OFFICES, January 16, 1838,
to consider the propriety of OPENING the SOUP SHOP,
Rev. A. CAMPBELL in the Chdir,
It was Resolved,—That the state of the weather being so very
severe, and the sufferings of the Poor consequent on it, it is
highly important that the North Soup Shop be at once opened,
and a New Shop and Apparatus be erected at the South End
of the Town as early as practicable.
Resolved,—That a general appeal be made to the Public for
their urgent support in carrying the above resolution into effect,
no call having been made on them by this Society since the close
of 1831, and the funds then collected having been husbanded to
carry on this far being now totally exhausted.
out{Resolred,—Tbat a Sub-Committee be now appointed to look
l
a site on which to erect a Soup Shop for the South End
of the Town.
Resolved,—That Subscriptions be received by the following
Gentlemen, viz. :—Mr. OCTAVIUS WATERHOUSE. Trea-
surer ; Mr. W. COMER,. Secretary ; and by Mr. JOHN

ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES. SPRINGS OR CLASPS.
SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED,
• • And Filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Siticeum.
fONS DE 13ERRI, SURGEON DENTIST, 51, Duke-street,
I.VI. Liverpool, (from the Firm of DE BERRI and Co., 121,
Regent-street, London,) respectfully informs the Nobility,
Gentry, and the Public, tbat they continue to fill up thetavities
of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Siliceum, without the least
pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost
liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and
curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay,
and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The
Mineral not only converts a mere sit-ell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents epc-
tually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably ac-
companies a decayed tootle.
Artificial Teeth made of this incorrodible mineral are more
durable than those usually worn ; they always retain their co-
lour, never break from the plate, are free from smell, and not
affected Ly the use of the most powerful medicines.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there is
nene more destructive in their effect, or more generally preva-
lent, than Scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth
arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals
of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of
Tooth Ache and Decay: to those so affected Mons. DE BERRI
and Co. have to inform them that they effectually remove this
destroying complaint by asingle application without the slightest
pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the
purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly
secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by
the wearer with the greatest facility,—at the following Paris
charges :

£ s. d.
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete set 5 5 0
A complete set or Natural Teeth, on fine gold
plate l5 0 0
An entire set ut Natural Teeth, highly finished,
in the first style, with fine golf sockets,
usually charged 40 guineas . 2O 0 0
They also Fasten Loose Teeth, and repair Artificial Teeth in
