1. PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu-
el • larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public
to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound-
ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince
the most sceptical of their decided superiority.
THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro:
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirab:e mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine. _ _

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,

Which approach nearer than anything—yet discov'ered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu-
racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates.
