MUEL PERRY, .?4, W4tor-atreet,

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
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. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 94. and 4s. 6d. each.

Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUB EBS, or any

deleterious iogredietit.

*** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal
and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak-
ness &e. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.
Dr. -DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
which the rowers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor-
ous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with
avidity, and used with 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 in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying 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 grosser hu-
mourA, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible •as to
convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of discovery—they require na 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 Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively 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 a long voyage or journey, their properties are such
That neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.
Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight
in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.
Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by
return, and Medicines punctually.transmitted to any ad-
dress either by initials or name.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH FOR BOTH
SEXES.
THE unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the
IL earnest recommendations of the many thousands who
have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened
comment unnecessary; they are not put forth as a cure for
all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for bilious and
liver complaints, with their many well-known attendants,
bilious and sick head-ache, pain and oppression after meals,
giddiness, dizziness, singing noise in bead and ears, drowsi-
ness, heartburn, loss of appetite, wind, spasms, &c., they are
acknowledged to be vastly superior to any thing
ever before
offered to the public, and for those of a full habit of body,
they will prove truly invaluable; while as a general Family
Aperient for either sex, they cannot fail to ensure universal
satisfaction. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted
of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain
its strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kid-
neys will rapidly take place, and instead of listlessness, heat,
pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and re-
newed health will be the result of taking this Medicine, ac-
o• cordin to the directions accompanying each box.

COMPLETE AND PRACTICAL SYSTEM OF

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most com-
pletethat has ever been- issued from the press—indeed we might
say the most complete.
Utility and simplicity are the main objects
which the author has kept in view. A. perfect mastery of the
instructions which Mr. Foster has given, will enable any one to
take down, verbatim, the words of the most rapid speaker. Nor is
this the only advantage which will accrue from an acquaintance
with this system : the facility with which the notes may be after-
wards read is a consideration of very great importance. The
alphabetical characters have the recommendation of extreme sim-
plicity. The signs for combination of letters, and the arbitraries,
Or marks. for words, will be found highly conducive to expedition
in writing. In this department the author has been eminently
successful. To Ladies or Gentlemen who may wish to master the
useful art of stenography. we can cordially recommend this work,
by which a student of ordinary ability, especially if a quick writer.
may be enabled in a very short time to take down literal reports of
sermons and speeches. We may add, that the professional short-
hand writer may also derive much instruction from this compen-
dium."—Liverpool Standard.
" This is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well written
, works on stenography are not
attractiven'4 to obtain numerous readers ;
entertaining Generally asi,deaki p
but we will do Mr. Foster the justice to say, that he has thrown
much that is highly-interesting in his " plain instructions," and
has very happily blended the entertaining with the useful. Our
author's principal object appears to be to instruct the uninitiated;
sufficiently production.
but we think his work will prove valuable in many respects even
to those whose profession it is to practice the art. Of course his
system must, in a great measure, partake of those previously in
existence, but as regards the distinctness and decision of his vowel
characters. it is superior to any we have seen. His examples and
illustrations are also exceedingly good, and the various lessons are
given with a plainness and perspicuity which must greatly facilitate
the learner's progress. In short, to all who are anxious io obtain
a speedy and accurate knowledge of the art of stenography, we
earnestly recommend the work."—Manchester Courier.
" We are of opinion that the last essay on stenography must
almost of necessity be the best, and that the person most qualified
to treat of it is a practical reporter. Mr. Foster's enthusiastic
admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a little too far; but
it by no means detracts from the value of information derived from
his own personal observation and experience as a reporter, which
is now offered to the public in a cheap and accessible form."—
Liverpool Mercury.
" We can with confidence pronounce Mr. Foster's system a good
one. Constant practice is absolutely necessary for any one who
wishes to be a first-rate short-hand writer, either on this or on any
other system ; but we believe that a thoroughly-practised writer of
short-hand would find it easier to follow a rapid speaker with this
than with any other system. It also possesses the very great
advantage of being easily readable when written."—Liverpool
Times.
" From a hasty glance through the pages, we pronounce it ex-
cellent."—Lancashire Herald.
"Mr. Foster we know has had much practical experience in the
art, and it is practical experience alone that can enable an indi-
vidual to form a correct judgment of any particular system. Mr.
Foster has, it appears, tried three several systems, and has fixed
upon that which he deems the best. On this he has made such
improvements as, in the course of his practice, seemed best cal-
culated to secure facility. With his judgment matured by constant
consideration of the subject, he tells us that the system which lie
has now presented to the public ' possesses many advantages over
those most in use, with, which lie is acquainted."—Liverpool
We think its alphabetical characters are extremely simple,
and that the signs for pluralities of letters, and the arbitraries,
which are more peculiarly the author's own improvements, are
highly conducive to expedition, without inducing any correspond-
ing difficulty in deciphering. +a hile Mr. Foster's arbitraries and
double and triple consonants are more numerous than those of
other systems that we have met with, they seem all well adapted
for practice, and if so, they cannot but he regarded us a material
aid to the short=hand writer. —Liverpool Courser.
Mr. Foster, in this little work, has given to the world the
result of his own practical experience as a short-band writer. In
the two great requisites of short-hand writing—expedition and an
easy facility in deciphering the characters when written—the
present system is superior, we conceive, to most of the popular
works on the same subject. Persons wishing to give the requisite
application to the study of short-hand, will find in Mr. Foster's
manual everything they require. The practicability of the system
is best tested by Mr. Foster's reputation as an accomplished
stenographer.—Lirerpool Chronicle.
" It is our opinion that the reporter is a far more efficie t tutor
in the art of stenography than they who, however well acquainted
with it theoretically, have but little practice ; because, in the
former case you are most likely to he presented with a system
perfected to the point of practical utility, while in the latter it is
ten to one but you are taught a system which is found to fail upon
trial, and which may require years of alteration, amendment, and
practice to render it serviceable. We must admit that Mr. Foster's
system appears to us a very excellent one ; that its capabilities are
equal to all demands upon it is evident from his own practice ; and
that it is laid down clearly and judiciously, will be apparent to any
one who peruses the book."—Liverpool Journal.

W. 13. PItOMOL!,
SUCCESSOR TO THOMAS WOOLFIELD,
No. 24, CHURCH-STREET,

ADJOINING THE POSTOFFICE,
ESPECTFULLY announces that he has OPENED
111, HIS NEW PREMISES to the Public. He begs to
renew his invitation to his Friends and Customers to visit
his unrivalled Establishment, and to inspect a Stock remark-
able for its greater Extent, Elegance, and choice of Goods
than any yet collected together.
W. B. P., under the impression that his Concern is really
unique, will, being honoured with the same encouragement
and distinguished patronage with which he has hitherto been
favoured, continue to maintain it on a similar scale of mag-
nitude, by, if possible,•a still greater attention to the manu-
facturing of his Goods, and by a careful selection of the best
of their kind in England, France, Germany, and Italy, his
knowledge and experience of which may be gathered from
the fact, that, for the last eight years, he was accustomed to
act in the latter department for his esteemed friend and pre-
decessor, Tuosins WOOLFIELD, who, in return, being at
present on the Continent, is giving him the advantages of his
time and taste in the purchase of articles of novelty.
W. B. P. is now also on one of his periodical journeys to
London and the Continent, superintending the getting up of
an infinite variety of New Patterns in Fancy Goods for the
ensuing season, which, he doubts not, will prove as attractive
as those hitherto offered to his Friends.
W. B. P. considers it unnecessary to remind the Public,
that, selling always for Nett Cash, without any deductijin,
he is enabled to charge comparatively a very small profit
upon his Goods; therefore it must follow, that their Price
and Quality are unequalled. He may further add, that his
great Sales in every.branch also enable him to manufacture
and to purchase in large quantities; consequently he buys at
a less cost, and obtains the full advantage of the manufac-
turers' discounts where allowed fur payment in cash.
In a few weeks the Fixtures, &c. will be ready for the two
former Shops, when the whole Front will be made to cor-
respond, exhibiting a rich and attractive display of Goods
from all parts of the world.
