FREEMAN'S CONCENTRATED SYRUP, OR,
SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
Patronised by her Majesty the Queen Dowager. many of
the Nobility, and most of the eminent Physicians and
Medical Men in London.

SENNA is known by all to be the best and safest aperient
medicine which mankind possesses.
Question.—Why, then, is it not used in preference and to
the exclusion of all other purgatives ?
Answer.—Because of its nauseating taste and griping pro-
perties.

rrIIE man who could dispossess so invaluable a medicine
of these two disagreeable qualities, it has long been re-
marked, would confer a blessing on mankind, to accomplish
which was considered impossible ' • but it has at length been
effected by the proprietor of the above preparation, in which
is contained all the active principle of senna entirely deprived
of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste that no child will refuse to
take it, and which, while it is so peculiarly adapted to infancy
and youth, is at the same time a most desirable medicine for
persons of all ages, particularly ladies and those of delicate
constitution. Let every fond mother provide herself with
this valuable Domestic Aperient, and she will have reason to
bless the day on which she became acquainted with this ME-
DICINAL NOVELTY, WhiCh is not only the best, the most
efficacious, and most agreeable purgative on earth, but is also
the cheapest medicine ever Made known, there being from
20 to 30 doses for an infant in one shilling bottle.—Prepared
only by the inventor, Jowls: FREEMAN, Pharmaceutical Che-
mist, 13, Blackfriars-road, London, and sold by special ap-
pointment by Mr. LATHBURY, Chemist, Castle-street, Li-
verpool, and may be had of all respectable Druggists, in
bottles at Is., 2s. 6d., and ss. each, bearing the proprietor's
signature. It will keep good in any climate, and is particu-
larly adapted to persons travelling abroad.

The following testimonial of a most eminent physician,
late a lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and
Children, is by his permission submitted to the public.
7, Upper Kennington-lane, Vauxhall,
Sept. 17, 1840.
" Dear Sir,—l am happy in again bearing testimony to
the value of your excellent Concentrated Syrup of Senna,
with respect to which my experience has assured me of its
absence of griping and nauseating properties, its pure and
unadulterated preparation, containing within a comparatively
small bulk the whole of the essential principle of that valuable
medicine, together with the fact of its being so efficacious as
in my opinion to supersede in a• majority of cases the use of
those violent and drastic purgatives, calomel, aloes, and jalap.
These qualities, combined with the additional advantage of
its very agreeable taste, render it a most valuable aperient,
calculated not only for general domestic purposes, but which
is more particularly adapted for the lying-in room and the
nursery, inasmuch as it may be administered to children of
the tenderest age with pleasure and great advantage.
" I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
"JOHN POWER, M.D.
~To John Freeman, Esq., Blackfriars-road."

TO ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS, &c.
GENTLEMEN,—I beg leave to state, that all Measure-
ments I may be called upon to make, from Drawings or
Works executed, in the capacity of a Surveyor, I shall
henceforth hold myself responsible for their accuracy.
It is also my intention to pursue the same course as I have
hitherto done, in being the Surveyor of no party exclusively
in making Measurements from Plans of Buildings, and it will
be my constant endeavour to merit a continuance of that
confidence and support which have been so liberally bestowed
upon me since I commenced business.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
JOHN HAY.
