MESSRS. PERRY and Cc., SURGEONS, may be per-
sonally consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at.
Night, and on Sundays frem Nine till Two, at
-No. 23, SLATER-STREET, near Duke-street, Liverpool,
(private entrance first dOor up the passage ;) No. 2, Bale-
street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's Church,
Manchester, and No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham: of
whom may be had (gratis) with each box of pills their Treatise
on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, Gleets, and Stricture, ;in-
cluding Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising
from early abuses, so that all persons can obtain an immediate
Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve-
nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the hehd, face,
and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness,
obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till 4 length a
general debility and decay of
.the constitution ensues, and a
melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.
PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d.
and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy
ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal
diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness,
in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local
debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases
of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect .cure
in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose,
with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they
are continually ailministered can be attested by many thousands.
The Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not
only remove the disease; but. renovate by their action'the differ-
ent functions of the bOdy, expelling the grosser humours, and
in a manner so mild alio imperceptible as to convince•the 'mos
sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be
taken without the slightest suspicion 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 Specific Pills, for when taken
before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
preventative. by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies
to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis-
criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion
a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and
destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination,
judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea-
sures. In that distressing State of debility or deficiency, whether
the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any
other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become
enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound
and vigorous health. . _ .

PEIiRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the
certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, vene►eal
eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased
nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular,
affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the
head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising
from an impure state of the blood.
These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and
captains of ships, the more' so, as they will keep good in all
climates any length of time.
Letters from the country; post-paid, containing a remittance for
medicine, will he immediately answered.

Li VERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, TUESDAY, MARCH 6.
The supplies since this day week of Grain, Flour, and Oat-
meal, are small.

Our market this morning was well attended with country
millers; there was little disposition to purchase Wheat to any
extent at the prices of this day week, as large arrivals are
looked for from the change of wind, and lower prices anti-
cipated.

The Oat trade was firm at last Tuesday's rates, but Oatmeal
was sold at a reduction of 6d. per 2401b5.

We had a limited demand for Flour, and the prices of this
day week were with some difficulty supported.
The week's imports of Butter are 3563 firkins ; fine qualities
are searce, and readily com:nand the top rates in our market;
middling descriptions are passed upon buyers at lower prices.
