MILK PUNCH ROYAL

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

MAJESTY.
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 tasty, and marked
their approbation of this

GREAT DISCOVERY
by presenting to him the freedom of the ; 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 transcendent 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 age.
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.

• 1` 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
assurance 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.

A CASE OF VERY GREAT DISTRESS.
THE WIDOW of a Tradesman, in oue of the best streets
.I. in this town, having been left to struggle with too small
a capital to maintain Four Young Children and herself, was,
after six years' exertions, at length blessed ith a fair pros-
pect of surmounting her difficulties, whe a harsh creditor
has suddenly thrown her into a prison, all prospects will
be blighted, unless she is assisted by the enevolent.

AT the SPECIAL VESTRY held in Saint Nicholas's
Church, on THURSDAY, the 11th day of March, 1841,
pursuant to a Requisition of Ratepayers to the Churchwardens
and Overseers,

The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS, one of the Rectors, in the

The Notice and Requisition having been read,
It was resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr.
WOTHERSPOON, seconded by Mr. PRITCHARD,
That since the introduction of Mr. Stur Bourne's Act
in the Parish of Liverpool, the assessment fnd collection of
the Poor-rates, and the administration of relief to the poor,
have been conducted with general satisfaction to the parish-
ioners at large, as well as those who are the objects of relief.
Resolved, on the motion of Mr. ALEXANDER SMITH,
Junior, seconded by Mr. J. A. TINNE,
That considering the satisfactory manner in which the pre-
sent system has been managed in Liverpool, this meeting
strongly deprecates so great an alteration as would be caused
by the introduction of the New Poor Law, which, in the
opinion of this meeting, would entail a great additional ex-
pence on the parish, and would by no means ameliorate the
condition of the poor.

Resolved, on the motion of Mr. SANDS, seconded by
Mr. RICHARD WILDING BATESON,
That application be made to the Poor Law Commissioners,
respectfully requesting them to suspend the application of
the Act to this parish ; and that the following gentlemen be
appointed as a Deputation from this Vestry, to wait upon the
Commissioners for this purpose, viz., Mr. Churchwarden
Birkett and Mr. J. A. Thine.
Resolved, on the motion of Mr. ISAAC HOLMES, se-
conded by Mr. JOSEPII COOPER.
That the Deputation be also instructed to represent to the
Members for the Borough the great dissatisfaction which the
introduction of the Bill would create in Liverpool, and to
induce them to use their influence in favor of the views now
expressed, and to propose a clause in the New Poor Law
Bill now before Parliament, to exempt Liverpool, either
alone, or in conjnnction with other great towns, from the
operation of the Act, and that a Petition in favour of such a
clause be prepared and presented to Parliament.
Resolved, on the motion of Mr. Josirtyw EDWARDS,
seconded by Mr. JOHN LEYLAND,
That the thanks of this Vestry be given to the Church-
wardens and Overseers, for having complied with the Requi-
sition of the Ratepayers in calling this meeting.
The Chairman having left the chair,
Resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr. ALEXAN-
DER SMITH, seconded by Mr. ISAAC HUTCHINSON,
That the thanks of this Vestry be given to the Chairman
for his able conduct in the chair.

i
MR. BAXTER, having been -rly six months in Liver-
pool, and completed som emarkable cures, testimo-
nials of which are attached to is advertisement, is desirous
of taking up his permanent residence in Liverpool. He,
therefore, begs to make the following proposal to those who

so, in the hope that the strictest inquiry will be made into
every case.

and at intervals blind, for six and eight months together,

JOHN PRAZEIt,
No. 98, Gallowgate, Glasgow, Scotland

SlR,—This is to certify, that I was nearly blind (amaurosis)
of the right eye, and very deficient of sight of the other eye,
it having been gradually failing for years, and being in my
70th year, I had given up all hopes; but hearing of the cures
you were performing in Liverpool, induced me to make a
trial, and I am happy to say' that after being under your
treatment ifor one month, I can now see to read tolerably
well without the aid of glasses.—Given in my hand-writing
this 28th day of January, 1841.
FREDERICK HAMILTON,

No. 39, Charlotte-street, Liverpool
8.

Sir,—For the good of the public, and especially those who
are labouring under the distressing malady of blindness, I
here insert that my daughter, Mary Leech, 15 years of age,
was blind, through a violent inflammation and films, and
was in the North Staffordshire Infirmary fora length of time,
where she was severely blistered and leeched. &c., until her
eyes were sunk in her head, and after that golden ointment
was applied to her eyes with care, but all to no service ; but
hearing of your ability as an oculist, and the cures you had
performed, I wrote for £1 worth of your eye medicines,
giving you every particular of her case, on the Ist day of
April, 1840 ; and, thank God! in one month she could see
to read the smallest print, and has remained perfect ever
since. And, sir, my youngest daughter, Emma, had very
bad eyes at the time, to which I applied your medicines, and
she was made perfect.—Given in my handwriting this 14th
day of January, 1841. WM. LEECH,
Amicable-street, Tunstall, Stafforcishire Potteries.

V" Sir,—Mr. NEWBROOKS, High-street, Tunstall,
desires to state that he is perfectly restored to sight, and is
happy that he had the chance of meeting with your valuable
medicines.

Sir,—l was for three years totally blind of my left eye, and
could only pereeive the shadow of a person passing me with
the right eye (the complaint being amaurosis); but, after
being under your treatment for two months, I am happy to
say that my leftjeye is perfect, and my right eye (that on
which I was entirely dark) I can now see a little with; for
which I feel thankful to God, and greatly obliged to you.—
Given in my handwriting this 3rd day of October, IS4O.
JAMES FRANCIS,
North Bradley, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

-

Sir,—l am a seafaring man, of the age of 36 years, and
have been afflicted for eight years with a deficiency of sight.
For the last three months I have been on shore in nearly
utter darkness, and could get no relief from the doctors here,
who call it amaurosis ; but hearing of your cures of blind-
ness in the newspapers, induced me to send for £1 worth of
your medicines, being the sum stated in the advertisement ;
and in nine days I feel my sight a great deal better, and I
hope, if it please God, to be able to go to sea again in a short
time ; but I will write to you again, sir, in a fortnight's time.
—Given in my handwrithur this 15th day of February, 1841.

HENRY SADON, No. 19, Clayton-street, Liverpool,
was blind (amaurosis) for a number of years. He has now
been five,weeks under Mr. Baxter's treatment, and has re-
ceived bat benefit of ght, that he can go about the streets
alone without any inconvenience, and there is every hope of
a perfect cure being made.

• 13.
Mrs. PRICE, Dance-street, Copperas-hill, Liverpool, 53
years of age, was blind (amaurosis) for three years, and so
weak and infirm that she could not rise from her chair with-
out help ; but after patiently persevering in Mr. Baxter's
mild treatment for five months, she is restored to sight so as
to distinguish man from woman, and was able to walk out
last week by herself; she keeps still improving both in health
and sight.

14.
WM. PARKINSON, No. 44, Vienna-street, Leeds, had
been nearly blind for 23 years, and in six weeks he could see
to read the smallest print. This case, as well as some of the
above, was not owing to a decay or wasting of the optic nerve
(which does not admit of a cure), but proceeded from a com-
pression of the nerves by redundant humours, which, had
they not been drained off, would have ended in total dark-
ness, i.e. guiles serena.

15.
Mr. Baxter is successor to his Father, who practised upon
the eye for 40 years. The case now mentioned was the first
placed under the care of the present Mr. B. A soldier, in
Hull, who was blind through inflammations and thick films
in the year 1813, having lost his sight in Egypt, was restored
to sight and made perfect in two months, after having been
discharged blind from the hospitals of London, York, Leeds,
and Hull. This will bear out Mr. B.'s experience for nearly
28 years. Many hundreds more have been cured, too nu-
merous for the limits of an advertisement.

Mr. BAXTER, Oculist, from Bolton, may be consulted
daily, by letter or personally, at No. 37, Warren-street,
Copperas-hill, upon all cases of Ophthalmia, or Inflamma-
tions, Specks, &c., Amaurosis, or Dimness of Sight, without
the use of Mercury, Blisters, Bleeding, Seton, Issues, or anv
restraint of diet or business.
