In all diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and
Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stony and Ulcerated
Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lom-
bago, likewise in Cases of Piles, the Pills (in all the above
cases) ought to be used with the Ointment, as by this means
cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in
half the time it would require by using the Ointment alone.
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the
use of the Ointment.
THE PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when
used with the Ointment, but as a general Medicine there is
nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be
found of the greatest service. These Pills are, without ex-
ception, the finest Purifier of the Blood ever discovered, and
OUGHT TO BE USED BY ALL FEMALES.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
PORT FLEETWOOD-ON-WYRE HARBOUR LEAD
ING LIGHTS.
Bearings—Magnetic.

Fleetwood-on-Wyre, Lancaster Bay, Nov.T 1,1840,
HE Directors of the. Preston and Wyre Railway Harbour
and Dock Company hereby give notice, that the har-
bour improvements having been so far completed, under the
plans of Captain Henry Mangles Denham, R.N., F.R.S.,
as to permit a straight course direct from sea into the har-
bour : the same will be denoted, on and after the Ist day of
December next, by the exhibition of TWO HARBOUR
LIGHTS, from which date the shore beacon, known as
Wyre Mark, will be discontinued. These Lights (of fixed
white character) will appear to the Mariner in upper and
lower order when brought in line upon the bearing of south,
to which bearing their brilliancy, is limited, and will guide
him right up the sea-reach of Wyre according to his draught
and time of tide, instead of depending on daylight for navi-
gating the buoyed but serpentine deep. The said Lighthouse
structures are in addition to the Screw-pile Lighthouse
erected at the western point of entrance last June ; and pre-
sent for a day leading-line two columns of the relative alti-
tudes of 104 and 44 feet,above half-tide level : The inner
and higher column rises conspicuously from the town-site,
is of red sand-stone colour, and when in line of the lower
light, appears between the Custom-house and the Sea-view
Hotel, with a spired church half a point westward. The
lower Lighthouse stands at H.W. mark 850 feet in advance
of the higher Lighthouse : it is. of light coloured stone,
springing from a square colonnade, and makes out in relief
when in line of the higher column. The two lights by night,
or a black ball at the lower column of the two by day, indicate
at the present stage of harbour improvements nine feet water
right up, which increases to eighteen upon neaps, and twenty-
five feet upon spring tides ; whilst in the buoyed deep eighteen
at half-tide, twenty-four at H.W. neaps, and thirty-one feet
on H.W. springs. The relative height of lights are so ar-
ranged as to dip the higher below the lower when you have
passed through the new cut, and may haul south-eastward for
the mooring-buoys, where twenty feet water is retained at
low-water springs. Two black buoys mark the eastern side
of the cut, and a black and white chequered buoy the western
side. The cut lies at the inner, i.e. southern, portion of the
leading line of lights.*
H. M. DENHAM, Consulting Marine Surveyor.
N.B.—Whenever the above shore Lighthouses are ob-
scured from the entrance by haze during day tides, the lamps
will be lighted to assist the Mariner's eye.

wood," published at Mawdsley's, Liverpool, and Bates's,

PARISIAN CORSETS,
67, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
199, REGENT-STREET, LONDON.

MRS. DAWSON begs to return' her most grateful ac-
knowledgments to the Ladies of Liverpool and its
vicinity for the extensive patronage with which she has been
favoured during the last seven years, and in doing so she
trusts she may be permitted to advert to the decided supefi-
ority of her CORSETS in conferring
flexibility and its consequent grace on the form, which, added
to the simplicity of their construction, (being without the
numberless seams so generally found in the common Corset,)
has long rendered them extensively patronised in the first
circles. It might, therefore, be superfluous to enlarge upon
their acknowledged merits ; but to Ladies who have not yet
made trial of them it may be requisite to observe that they
combine, in an eminent degree, entire exemption from pres-
sure, with that support so necessary to render the figure at
once unembarrassed and graceful. To Ladies of delicate
constitution, in some cases attended with irregular conforma-
tion, they have been pronounced by the most eminent of the
faculty as invaluable. The Corsets are manufactured by the
first London Workmen, and in the best English and French
material ; in the latter Mrs. Dawson flatters herself they will
be found, in point of durability, greatly superior to those
made in Paris, and, to meet the wishes of Ladies, she has
determined on selling the Single Coutie and Bason Corsets
at Parisian Prices.

N.B.—A choice assortment of French Patent Wove Stays.
