tiPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu-
• larlv 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,
kill be found a most desirable 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 Pharmacopceias.
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. tram 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 vet discovered 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 Seidlit: Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 108.
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.

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and

tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,

The First Number for 1812 of
HE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE,
T a
Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News.
The Horticultural Part Edited by Professor LINDLEY.
Twelve months since, the Proprietors of THE GARDENERS'
CHRONICLE announced their objects in undertaking this
Journal, and if the support they have received may be con-
sidered as a test of the satisfaction of the Public, they have
every reason to believe that their exertions have been appre-
ciated, for it has already attained a sale far beyond any con-
temporary of a like character—a sale which has gone on pro-
gressively increasing from January to the present moment,
and has so far exceeded their own sanguine expectations
THAT NO LESS THAN THREE EDITIONS OF THE EARLIER
NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO MEET THE CONTINUED
DEMAND. They now, therefore, need only refer to the past
as an earnest of the future, and announce, for the information
of the public generally, the nature of the publication.
The plan followed is, in THE FIRST PLACE, to make THE
GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a weekly record of everything
that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or
Garden Botany, and to introduce such Natural History as
has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of
every new work of importance on these subjects. Connected
with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GAR-
DENING OPERATIONS, given in greatdetail, and adapted
to the objects of persons in every station of life, so that the
Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the
Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Manager of
extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the rou-
tine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary
—Foreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural
subjects, with illustrative wood-cuts (112 have already been
given)—Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings
at home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements
—in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession,
benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the
pleasure of his employer. Replies to all questions, whether
practical or theoretical, connected with the object of the
Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And although
the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal,
yet it contains full reports of the proceedings of the Royal
Agricultural Society, and much valuable information upon
more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of

inquiry.
IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and
political News is introduced, which is usaally found in a
Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head
further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them-
selves under the banners of any party ; their earnest endea-
vours are to make GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and
comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the
true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own
conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation
and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The
reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR
FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of informa-
tion concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the ne-
cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper.

On Saturday, December 25th, will be published, neatly bound

in cloth, with Title-page and index, price XI 6i.
THE VOLUME FOR 1841 OF THE GARDENERS'
CHRONICLE. (Each Volume is complete in itself.)
Persons anxious to possess the Volume should order it at
once, as but very few complete copies remain, although
THREE EDITIONS OF PARTICULAR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN
PRINTED.
The GARDENERS' CHRONICLE is published every
Saturday, price 6d., and may be ordered of all Newsvendors
in town or country.

first year may be bad on application, or by letter, at the
