MILK PUNCH !
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original, projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that 'we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by aye.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
aisurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

-2-3 Shortness of Breath, Weazing, Colds, soreness, tight-
ness, and oppression of the Chest ; and most affections of the
Chest and Lungs, relieved in ten minutes, by taking one dose
Of WOODHOUSE'S BALSAM OF SPERMACETI, or PECTORAL
COUGH DROPS. Persons doubting of the efficacy of this
Medicine, may take a dose in the Proprietor's shop before
they purchase. The Proprietor earnestly recommends a
trial of these Drops to persons afflicted with the above com-
plaints, but he does not introduce them as being an infallible
cure, (as many do,) but is warranted in asserting their efficacy
from the extensive relief afforded in numerous cases of the
above description. Constitutional Coughs of three, four,
and more years standing, have been cured in the course of
a week by the use of these Drops. In the Hooping and
Chin Coughs it will be found eoually valuable ; it will at all
times relieve the most violent Consumptive Cough.—ln
