PROFESSOR SW EDOUR'S HYGEA PILLS.
FOR the effectual extirpation of every sp es and symp;orn
of the Syphilitic Disease,aud the many orders arising from
improper treatment. •
Prepared and sold by the sole Pro • or at No. 54, Seel-
street, Liverpool. (four doors from ter-street) in boxes at
2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.
{With each box is given directions how to take these Pills,
and observations on points, beneficial to the patient. being hints
worth knowing, by those who are, or have been sufferers from
this dreadful and devastating malady.

"VenientiocOrite morbo."

"Oppose the disease in its infancy."
"These, 0 sinful pleasures, these are thy troph;tes--'tis thus
co-operating with the foe of God and man, thou degradest hu-
Man nature, and blasteth-the opening prospects of httmart-A.
licity."—BLAta.
So said Professor Swedour, when he discovered his grand
PANACEA for this Complaint, The "Hygean Pills." (then un-
known to the annals of medical discoveries,)as a specific reme-
dy to exterminate from. the System, that intruder on the plea-
sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought-
lessness : never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it
was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating
success in the most miuute and intricate cases of the delicate
complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele-
brated. 'l'he fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused
their speed introduction into almost every country, and ad-
dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who
filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir-
cumstance. 'l'he 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 satis-
faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid-
uous poison,-purifying in their progress the wholemass of fluids,
they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser hu-
mours and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con-
vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled
powers, they neither contain mercury or 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. The Hygean Pills maybe depended upon as a cer-
tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis-
ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At
any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, for when taken be-
fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly.
[be deplorable state in which many persons h;tve been when
visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger-
ous mineral when injudiciously administered.
These I'ills 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 prevent their
due effects on the constitution.
Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, No. 54, Seel-
street, Liverpool, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night,
(on Sundays from Nine till Two,) where he gives advice to all
applicants taking any oh his preparations, 'WITHOUT A FEE.
Letters (post paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by re-
turn, and Medicines punctually trunsmitted to any address,

PROSPECTUS OF A
JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPAN ,
TO BE CALLED
THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANKIN O,I9PANY.
Capital £500,000, in 50,000 Shares o £lO each.
THE system of Joint Stock Banking s now so generally
known, that it is needless to enter i o any detail of it, in
the short space of a Prospectus.
The Joint Stock Banks hitherto e blished in Manchester,
have either confined themselves exclusively, or nearly so, to the
business of the town, or have extended themselves in the shape
of District Banks over this and the adjoining counties.
When it is considered that Manchester is surrounded by towns
possessing, individually, immense populations, actively enraged
in trade and manufactures, each in great degree dependent"
on the other for support, it is at onciobvious that a very large
field for the successful operations of .Toint Stock Banking still
remains. The town of Manchester contains a population of
upwards of 250,000; Bolton, 45,209 ;',Oldham, 32,381 • Roch-
dale, 20,110; Ashton-under-Lyne, 15,222 ; and Bury, 15,086;
in the whole, near half a million, and all following the same
pursuits; yet it appears most strange that no Joint Stock Bank
has hitherto been established for the purpose of combining ex-
clusively the energies of these towns, comprising as they do
the great manufacturing district of South Lancashire :—as thus
might be obtained the Security of a, Bank, whose operations
are confined to a single town, with the benefits and advantages
of the district plan, without adopting the exclusiveness of the
one., or the two extensive ramifications of the other.
That there is ample space for another Joint. Stock Bank in
this vast and rapidly increasing district is very clear, when it
is considered that at the present moment there are in successful
ope-ation in Edinburgh alone, (with a population barely one-
third
so large as that intended for the sphere of this Bank,)
fourteen Joint Stock Banks; whereas, in this part of South'
~
Lancashire, there are as yet only four Joint Stock Banks in
actual existence; two of which were only established three
years ago, and those within two months of each other, yet the
dividends of both have exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions, and the shares now bear a high premium.
It is intended to establish a Joint Stuck Bank for this Dis-
trict alone, to comprise Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton-
under-Lyne, and Bury, with a Local Directory, and an appyo-
priation of shares according to the amount of their respective
populations, the Imsiness of which will be conducted in that
liberal yet safe manner, as to afford the greatest facilties to the
inhabitants of each town, giving to them the same advantages,
with greater security than they could possess by small Banks
established in each.
It is, therefore propased—
That a company be formed under the foregoing title.
That the Head Bank be at Manchester, that Branch Banks
be established as early as practicable, in Bolton, Oldham,
Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Bury - and agencies in
such other towns as may be desirable, and that the business be
that of a deposit, loan, agency, discount, and circulation Bank.
That-the capital of the Company be I:500,000,-in- 50• ME),
shares of 1:10 each.

That each person on being admitted a Shareholder pay One
Shilling per Share towards defraying the Expenses incidental
to the formation of the Company, a sum of £2. 10s. per Share
within one month frouLthe appointment of Directors, and the
further sum of £2. 10s. per Share within three months after that
time, and the remaining f. 5 in such manner and at such time as
the Directors nay appoint; three mouths notice of any such
Call to be in every case given.
That all the concerns of the Company be under the manage-
ment of the general Board of Directors, but that subject to its
control the business of its branches be managed by a Board of
Local Directors.

That the Company be considered as formed when the Shares
taken amount to 10,000; that a Meeting a Shareholders be then
called, and be held in Manchester, at which the general Board
of Directors, to consist of such number as shall be then agreed
upon, shall be elected, to continue in office one year.
That the Shareholders at each Branch annually appoint their
own Board of Local Directors; and that the number of Direc-
tors at each Board be not less than three nor .more than seven.
That at the first, and all other Meetings of Shareholders, each
Shareholder may vote for himself, or by another Shareholder
holding his written proxy, and that the Votes be regulated thus:
—lO Shares, one vote; -30 Shares, two totes; 70 Shares, three
votes; 100 Shares and upwards, four votes.
That any Shareholder, holding 50 shares or upwards, be eli-
gible to be elected a General Director, and 30 shares, a Local
Director.
That, should one-fourth of the paid-up capital be at any time-
lost, the Company be thereupon dissolved, unless at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be convened for that purpose, it be
otherwise determined.
That so soon as practicable after the appointment of the Ge-
neral Board of Directors, a Deed of Settlement be prepared,
to contain all necessary and proper provisions for the efficient
management of the Company, and Security of the Share-
holders.
That the names of the Shareholders be not disclosed, until a
return be filed in the mode required by law.
That the above conditions be subject to revision tly the Share-
holders.
Applications for Shares to be addressed to the " PROVIstoNAL
COMMITTEE," and left with Mr. DAVID HOLT, Share Broker,
Ducie.place, Exchange, Manchester, from whom printed Forms
of Applications may be had; or from Mr. THOMAS HOLDEN,
Solicitor, Acres-field, Bolton; Messrs. WHITEHEAD and BAR-
LOW, Solicitors,- Oldham Mr. JOHN H.ARDMAN, Solicitor,
Rochdale; Mr. ALFRED HEGGINBOTTOM, Solicitor, Ashton-
under-Lyne; and Messrs. GRL'NDY, Solicitors, Bury and Hey-
wood.
