SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE.
DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.
Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
Strand, London.
This CHOCO L A T E contains the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to a deficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper, 'nay in a great measure be attributed the
frequency of cases of indigestion generally termed bilious. It
has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of the
digestive organs, &c., from whence arise many diseases, such
as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula. In
cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

SIR JAMES MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.
Prepared under the immediate care of the Inventor, and
established for upwards of thirty years by the PROFESSION, for
removing BILE, ACIDITIES, and INDIGESTION, restoring
APPETITE,
.preserving a moderate state of the bowels, and
dissolving uric acid in GRAVEL and GOUT; also as an easy
remedy for SEA SICKNESS, and for the febrile affection inci-
dent to childhood it is invaluable.—On the value of Magnesia,
as a remedial agent,
it is unnecessary to enlarge ; but the Fluid
preparation of Sir James Murray is now the most valued by the
profession, as it entirely avoids the possibility of those danger-
ous concretions usually resulting from the use of the article in
powder, and in the ever-dosed liquids of detected imitators.
Sole by the sole consignee, mr. BAILEY, of North-street,
Wolverhampton; and by all wholesale and retail Druggists and
Medicine Agents throughout the British Empire, in Bottles,
Is., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., ss. 6d., Ils., and 21s. each.
The Acidulated Syrup, in Bottles, 2s. each.
N.B. Be sure to ask for "Sir James Murray's Preparation,"
and to see that his name is stamped on each label in green ink,
as follows :—" James Murray, Physician to the Lord Lieu-
tenant."

The following Certificates, from our most eminent Chemists,
will no doubt prove satisfactory to the public, and show at once
the superiority of Sir James Murray's Fluid Magnesia over all
the spurious imitations which some few Agents recommend,
merely for the sake of extra large profits and allowances / r I
_ _ - FROM PROFESSOR lAA NE. _ _

" Laboratori.CecillaTiiieei,bliiilir,2Bth April, 1842.
"My dear Sir James,-1 have completed the analysis of your
solution of Magnesia, which you placed in my hands. It is
perfectly pure, and evidently prepared from the purest mate-
rials, being quite free from the presence of any sulphuric or
muriatic salts. Its specific gravity I prove) to be 1025.6
.; wa-
ter being 1000, and it contains in. each fluid ounce, 13 grains of
Carbonate of Magnesia.-1 remain, your obedient servant,
"To Sir James Murray." "ROBERT KANE.

FROM PROFESSOR EDMUND DAVY.
" I have submitted Sir James Murray's Fluid Magnesia to a
Chemical examination, and find it contains dissolved in Carbo-
nic Acid, 270 grains Carbonate Magnesia, in the Imperial pint
of 20 ounces, or
.134 grains
sulphate or munate of Magnesia, nor any other impurity.

FROM DR. WILKINSON, OF BATH.
" May 16th, 1842.
" Dear Sir,—This is to certify that I have carefully analyzed
a bottle of liquid Magnesia sent to me by Mr. Bailey, of Wol-
verhampton, through Professor O'Shaughnessy, of Calcutta, on
his late visit to Bath. I have found 13 grams of pure Magnesia
in each liquid ounce, and that I did not discover the slightest
trace of either sulphate, murutte, or any other inKredient in the
solution. ‘‘ C. H. WILKINSON, M.D.
" To Sir James Murray, Dublin."

FROM PROFESSOR DANIEL, LONDON.
" King's College, 4th April, 1842.
~ My dear Si r,—l have the pleasure of sending you the results
of Toy analysis of the specimen of your Fluid Magnesia, and of
the spurious imitation of the same, and remain, very faithfully
yours, " J. F. DANIEL."
