COUGH AND ASTHMATICAL DROPS,

FOR INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTI' MAS, CONSUMPTIONS,

&c., &c.
THIS invaluable Medicine immediately relieves
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and
Huskiness in the Throat. _ _

These Drops are also the best preventative that can be taken
against SPITTING OF BLOOD, and AFFECTION Of the LUNGS.
Persons troubled with ASTHMA are considerably relieved by
taking a few doses of the Drops, as they tend to promote
expectoration and remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure
of the HOOPING COUGH, they are no less efficacious. Those
who are troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the Throat,
which deprives them of rest night after night, by the incessant
Cough which it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find im-
mediate relief; and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a
cure.

For a number of years have these Pills received the appro-

pains in the head, &c. ; and for females, before and after con-
finement, they are invaluable, and may be taken as a substitute
for that valuable (but nauseous) medicine castor oil ; nor can
they be too highly recommended for the general use of Schools.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
-

which approach—nearer than anything yet discotiered to the
Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself and
combine scientific skill with great accuracy ; and though num-
bers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have
of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been
found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agree-
able flavour nor the medicinal preperties of the Sentlitz
Waters. . . .

Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases.
PRIESTLEY'S CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR FLUID
EXTRACT OF THE FINEST
OAMSA PARILLA.
This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that well-
known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is
prepared by a peculiar and scientific method, by which the
whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are preserved ; and the
experience of many years has ful y established the reputation of
this Medicine, as containing more of the virtues of the root
than any other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been
particularly striking in the following complaints :—Nocturnal
Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands,
Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., &c. ; in free-
ing the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects
are very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the
cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes that
disposition to Erysiplatons Inflammation from which so many
persons periodically suffer ; and when taken in the Spring and
Fall of the Year as an Alterative Medicine, it will be found to
impart that strength to the constitution which is indicated by
firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the com-
plexion.
