PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
0 particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the BEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The
style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ; and though numbers of people/unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late yovirs attempted imita-
tions, they me invariably been foul to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor tbe me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
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. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz
Powders in Packets.
IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.
It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate
these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and
efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered
to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each
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,
will 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 Pharmacopoe►as.
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, &o. trom 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 FLUID MAGNESIA.
A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of
that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid
and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can-
not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will
take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of
Citron it forms an effervescing draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le-
monade, and asli refreshing drink in summer nothing can
be more agreeable.

PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.
These pills are purely Vegetable, and to those troubled with
Indigestion or sensation of fulness at the stomach after meals
they are invaluable.—ln Boxes at ls. and 2s. Gd. each.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft.
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at ls. 3d. and 3s. each.
WIEMICAL MARKING INK,
For Writing on Linen with a Common Pen.
This is very suporior to the generality of what are called
Permanent Inks. It gives a most brilliant black, which can-
not be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the
same time destroying the linen. Families may be accommo-
dated with the Improved Permanent Ink and Preparation
separately, if required.---old in Cases, Is. Gd. and 3s.
VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.
A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all
tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,
2s. Gd

'FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION, AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC or FAMILY HAIR
OIL has stood the test of thirty years, and is patro-
nised by the most illustrious personages. It is held in high
estimation at the Toilet as a Family Hair Oil ; it is of in-
estimable worth, and will preserve the Hair from infancy to
old age. J. M. need not caution the Public. The Hair
Oils by which the country is inundated are already cried
down by persons who have, in all probability, supplied them ;
the trash, as so represented, is injurious in the extreme ; the
dryness it produces, as well as turning the Hair grey, not
unfrequently produce headache. The Botanic or Family Oil
is distinguished from every other by its emolient and nutri-
tious properties ; it preserves the scalp agreeably cool, and
it is an undoubted fact that, with the growth of Hair, the
health is improved. The tootle now adopted for the sale of
the Botanic or Family Hair Oil will undoubtedly affect the
London trade, and probably reform it. J. M. will personally
appoint his Agents over England ; lie will advertise his Oil,
stating facts only, which his Agents' will warrant ; and he
assures his customers, no fraud will be attempted by false
representation. But how different is the London trade :
the proprietors depend on the advertisement alone—the
vendors are not accountable—thus is the country inundated
with trash which no person is answerable for.
The following statement cannot fail to give a confidence of
the superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil :—F_rom 1820 to 1830
J. Middlewood's genuine botanic oil was interdicted by
government, on the ground that it possessed properties,
and performed such cures of baldness, as brought it within
the meaning of the patent medicine act, and not until its
great utility in preserving the hair was submitted to parliament,
could a legal sale be effected. The petition presented, met
with the kindest attention, and the chancellor of the exche-
quer exempted it from the medicine duty, to be sold under
the denomination of hair oil. The petition was presented
aiy. the Right Hon. Wm. Huskisson, on the 10th April, 1830,
while Mr. Goulburn was chancellor of the exchequer.
hy Botanic Oil is sold at 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., in boxes ;
...is,. 2o for the Toilet, 10s. per bottle.
Nu% RENNIE, Lord-street, has received a fresh supply.

UPHOLSTERY AND GENERAL FURNISHING
WAREHOUSE.

APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS.
A BLIND and destitute Clergyman, of the Established
Church, whose melancholy case of suffering and distress
has been for some time before the Irish public, in acknow-
ledging the benefactions and contributions of a few truly
Christian and charitable individuals (to whom he returns his
most sincere and grateful thanks), begs leave to state, that
although sundry small sums, received at distant intervals,
have saved him from actual starvation, yet still, from their
amount, he has been able merely to support nature by one
poor and scanty weal each day ; in addition to which, he and
his family have parted with almost every article of clothing,
for the purpose of purchasing food. He now, as a last and
expiring effbrt to earn support for himself and family, hum-
bly informs his former benefactors, and all who are disposed
to assist the helpless and afflicted, that, having been strongly
recommended by some of the Faculty in Dublin, he has come
to London to seek the advice of the highly celebrated and
humane oculist Mr. Alexander, and submit to an operation
on his eyes for the restoration of his sight.
Still, alas ! although this distressed Clergyman is conscious
that by such skilful and (under Divine Providence) efficacious
means, he may once more enjoy the bleising of sight, and
thereby be enabled to seek employment in his sacred profes-
sion, yet (having failed hitherto in every application to be
placed on one of the public charities—having received no
compensation for an immense arrear of tithe composition due
to his late murdered father—and having lost all his remaining
family property by an unsuccessful lawsuit,) poor and penny-
less, himself and family driven to the last extremity, he can-
not remain in London during the course of treatment neces-
sary for, or consequent upon, such an operation, unless the
feeling, the Christian, and the benevolent, will assist and
contribute timpirktteoffsadralltuvivemeang to ate -him
uvu
in this his last effort to save himself (although at the cost of
suffering and pain) from the more agonizing situation of want,
dependence, and beggary. He entreats of all who profess and
call themselves Christians, to recollect how once a compas-
sionate Saviour listened to and relieved the case of the poor
blind man in the Gospel. And so, in making this appeal,
this suppliant for charity indulges in the hope that few, if any,
will be found who cannot appreciate the example of an all-
merciful Saviour, or.who will withhold that help which, under
God, may restore a fellow-creature and Clergyman not only
to the great blessing of sight, but to his place in the Church
and society. . . _ __ _

To PRESERVE CURRANTS WITHOUT SUGAR..
lowing recipe may be acceptable now that sugar is so risen
in price. Let the fruit be carefully cut from the large stalks,
with the smallest bit of stalk to each, that the fruit not being
wounded, no moisture may be amongst them. It is necessary
to gather them when the weather is quite dry, having ready
some bottles, perfectly clean and dry, into which gently drop
the currants, stopping the bottles with cork and rosin, and
burying them in a trench in the garden with the neck down-
wards. Cherries and damsons will keep in the same way.
CONDUCT OF THE 'WHIGS DURING THE PENINSULAR
WAR.—The opposition were so inveterate against the Spanish
war, that not only did they declaim against it in the most
violent manner on all occasions, both in and out of parlia-
ment, but, if we may believe the contemporary authority of
l3erthier, actually corresponded, during the most critical pe-
riod of the contest, with Napoleon himself, and furnished
him with ample details on the situation of the English army,
and the circumstances which would, in all likelihood, defeat
its exertions. It is not surprising that a ministry thus pow-
erfully thwarted, destitute of any members versed in military
combination with a very scanty majority in parliament, and
no support 'farther than the cold assent of duty from the
throne, should, during this critical year, have shrunk from
the responsibility of implicating the nation, on a more ex-
tended scale, in a contest of doubtful issue, even under the
most favourable circumstances, which was, to all appearance,
to be abandoned as hopeless by their successors. And yet,
so little can even the greatest sagacity or the strongest intel-
lect foresee the ultimate results of human actions, and so
strangely does Providence work out its mysterious designs by
the intervention of free agents, and the passions often of a
diametrically opposite tendency of mankind, that if there are
any circumstances more than others to which the immediate
catastrophe which occasioned the fall of Napoleon is to be
ascribed, it is the unbroken triumphs of Suchet in the east,
and the strenuous efforts of the English opposition to magnify
the dangers, and underrate the great powers possessed by
Wellington in the west of the peninsula. Being accus-
tomed to measure the chances of success in a military contest
by the achievements of the regular troops employed, and an
entire stranger to the passions and actions of parties in a free
community, he not unreasonably concluded, when the last
army in Spain capitulated at Valencia, and the whole country,
from the Pyrenees.to Gibraltar, had, with the exception of a
few mountain districts, submitted to his authority, that the
contest in the Peninsula was at an end, so far as the Spaniards
were concerned ; and when be beheld the party in Great
Britain, who had all along denounced the war there as utterly
hopeless and irrational on the.part of this country, and some
of whom, in their zeal against its continuance and to demon-
strate its absurdity, had actually corresponded with himself,
even at the crisis of the contest, on the eve of getting posses-
sion of the reins of power in London ; he was naturally led to
believe that no cause for disquiet existed, in consequence of
the future efforts of England and Spain. He was thus tempted
to prosecute, without hesitation, his preparations for the
Russian war, and before finishing the conflict in the penin-
sula, plunge into the perils of the Moscow campaign ; and the
deiuble strain it was, as he himself told us, which proved fatal
to the empire. Had lie been less successful in the east of
Spain—had the English opposition less strenuously asserted
the impolicy and hopelessness of British resistance in the west,
he would probably have cleared his rear before engaging with
a new enemy in front.—. Alison's History
