HY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY AND ALL
THE ROYAL FAMILY.

SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS,

AND
iERATED LEMONADE.

THE continued preference of the Public for the above
celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price
at which imitations are rendered), so abundantly proves
their superior quality, that it only remains for the manufac-
turers to express their acknowledgments, and to caution
consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un-
principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE'S
manufacture. None are genuine without a label represent-
ing the name of their firm.
SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA.
This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power-
ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest
distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This
invaluable alkali in the
.fluid form is so rapidly superseding
its use in the viliti state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases
of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in-
jurious tendency of the latter to lodge and accumulate in the
bowels, that the Public attentioncannot be too often directed
to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the
highest state of perfection. Manufactured at 51, Berners'-
street, London ; and sold, wholesale, at their branch manu-
factories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, and at the Lon-
don Patent Medicine Houses.
Export orders manufactured especially for Warm Climates.
Importers of GERMAN SELTZER WATER, in Quarts

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD' S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR

OIL.
M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inestimable Oil,
• where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised by
families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet. It has been proved, by many experiments, in restor-
ing the Hair, when every other application has failed ; and
when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it reno-
vates and produces its original lustre.
In answer to inquiries, J. M. respectfully informs his
Friends and the Public he is making arrangements which
will insure to the Public the Genuine Botanic Oil in all parts
of the Kingdom in its pure and unadulterated state; and
should any doubts exist of the great utility of the Botanic Oil,
the Proprietor refers them to the decision of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and the testimonials proved before Parlia-
ment on the 10th April, 1830. J. M. also wishes to apprise
the Public of various attempts to suppress the sale of the
Botanic Oil, not by competition, but by secret means. Ven-
dors throughout the Kingdom were cautioned against selling
Middlewood's Soap and Oil, as it was subject to Medicine
Duty ; and informations were laid against the Proprietor.
J. M. acknowledges the informations, at two distant periods,
each penalty £5O ; but in case the Proprietor had sold the
above illegally, it proves the article superior to anything sold
avowedly for the same use, as no similar article was ever
charged with duty. J. M. will for the present offer no com-
ments ; the proceedings adopted to suppress the sale is the
best possible recommendation ; and so well satisfied is go-
vernment of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, that no
further interruption will be given to the sale of the Botanic
Oil and Vegetable Soap, which will be found of more exten-
sive sale than any other similar articles.
j. M. has substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more
convenient; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. Gd., 55., and
in Bottles, for the Toilet, 10s. Wholesale and Export
Orders on the shortest notice.
J. M. will engage that, where the Botanic Oil is used,
either in Public Seminaries or Families, the hair and scalp
shall never be infected with any cutaneous disease, as ring-
worm, &c. &c., such is its emolient properties.
Orders, with references or remittances, addressed J. Mtn-
DLE WOOD, Parker-street, Liverpool, will be duly forwarded,
with customary allowances. The Botanic Oil is a valuable
speculation, as no article can compete with it as Hair Oil.
FORBIDDEN FRUIT.--J. M. begs to announce at this
Season, this cooling and grateful Frnit, for Invalids, also in
sea sickness, &c. ; has also en Sale, Green Sweet Water
GRAPES, per Morsel, or Retail Is. per lb.
Just Landed, a few Barrels of fine FRENCH RENNET
APPLES, for Dessert.

"YANG,"

THE CENTRAL FIRE.
\7HEN lie-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed
the intelligence then received with" Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute--Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade
resumed at Canton," ike., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country-
men had been duped ; and he predicted that, " though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar ;
that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea;" and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied ou Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted," when he foretell that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
alone imports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so
that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-
tain Pidding, 22, College-hill, London.

IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
KEARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every Lady, having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the
female frame is liable, especially those which, at an early
period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise and
general debility of the system : they create an appetite, cor-
rect indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache,
and are eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the
stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart :
being perfectly innocent, may be used with safety in all sea-
sons and climates. Sold by SANGER, 150, Oxford-street.
and by most respectable Medicine vendors in town and
country, at 2s. 9d. per box. The following is one of the
numerous cases recently received by the proprietor :
To Mrs. Kearslev.—Madam—l think it my duty to state
the very great benefit I have derived front taking your inva-
luable Pills, they having restored me, I consider, from the
brink of the grave. I lived servant in the house of an emi-
nent physician, where of course I had the very best advice
and every attention, but at last, in consequence of extreme
debility and confirmed dropsical symptoms, I was obliged to
leave my place, and was considered in a deep decline. I
then, through the recommendation of a friend, purchased a
box of your Widow Welch's Pills, which, witk the addition
of two other boxes, have at length restored ma to perfect
health.—l beg to subscribe thyself, Madam, your much
obliged and humble servant,
