PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN PILLS, for the

No. 54. SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. .

I** With each Box is given a Treat' e n Venereal and
Syphilitic Diseases, With observations of eininal weakness,

have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady.
Dr. DAVI ESON' continues to direct his studies to those dis-
orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence
of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of
nervous affections, bsit also entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de-
bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha•
bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the rowers
of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and
speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It is a melancholy tact that thousands fall victims to the ye
nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who,
by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley-
den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man-
kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this
deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so
long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
eaused their speedy introduction into almost every country. The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thonsihds. In fact, during the long conti-
nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hvgeian Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri-
fying in their progress the Whole mass r.f fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the' different
functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a
manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most
sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be
taken without the slightest s•ispii2ion of discovery—they require
no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but
effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
well to:have recourse to the llygeian Pills, for when taken be-
fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Me deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visiting the proprietor, horn the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by
sea and land, and "ought never to be omitted by any person going
a long voyage or journey. their properties are such that neither
heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due
effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eiyht in
the morning until Ten at ttight, (on Sundays from Nine till
T wo, ) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any of his
preparations, WITHOUT A FUR.

urn, and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address

LIVERPOOL TOWN MISSION

During the past month the- agents of this society have made
2257 visits to the families of the poor, and 492 visits to the sick.
They have also circulated 2056 tracts, and held 143 meetings,
attended by 2524 persons. 'the following are statistical details
from the journals of two of its agents, in the north part of the
town; which must be lead with painful feelings by every Chris-

court, and alley in C. street. The scenes I have ttitnessed are
most distressing. The wretchedness, ignorance, and depravity
are beyond description. We pity (he says) the stale of the
poor heathen in distant lands, but in this very street there are
hundreds as ignorant of God, the value of their souls, and the
way of lialwation. as the most rude barbarian, Hindoo; or 130t7
tentot: The ouniber of families is 175 ; of immortal souls 1291;
only 51 profess regularly to attend any place of worship; 62
occasionally attend. There ate 560 children; of these 126 only
go to school, and many even of these seldom appear there;
there are only 50 families out of the 175 who have any part of
the sacred scriptures in their possession.
12th January.—The other agent says, " I have now visited
the whole of C. street, and I believe I have not omitted one house,
cellar, or garret. The number of families is 200; of persons
964; of this number 98 profess to go to some place of %torsi:6N
There are 411 children; 108 of them go to school; 91 of these
families have the sacred scriptures, leaving 109 families without
a single page of it." Can Chi istians read such statements as
these, time after time, respecting entire streets of the town in
which they reside, withourbeing suitably affected, and endea-
vouring, for the future, by every means in their power, to do
away with the criminality attached to such indifference ? If they
can, the writer most affectionately calls upon them to examine
themselves by the Word of God, whether they act consistently
with that character. Copies of the second edition of the last
annual report of the Town Mission may be obtained at the

MR. PEMBERTON'S CONCERT.—On Friday evening last. Mr
Pemberton held his annual .concert at the Templar's Hall,
Great George-street. Notwithstanding the severe night he had
au excellent attendance, the concert room being nearly full. A
number of beautiful duets and songs were sung Miring the
evening, varied by the instiumental performances of Mr. G.
Holden and Mr. G. Eyton on the pianoforte, and Mr. Brown
on the ante. The opening overture, •• Semiramide," by Messrs.
Holden and• Eyton on the piano-forte, was very brilliantly
played. The duetto " I know a bank," by our old favourite
Miss Leach, and Miss Whitman, the music.by Horn, was beau-
tifully sung. Like most of Horn's music, this duetto is a sweet
thing. The song of " The peace of the valley," by Mr. Pein-
fisis-Nyssr, ,berton, the music by Bane, followed, and was given in tine
