PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
• particularly to call the attention of his 7rds and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the v justly cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID-
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 years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal propexties 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 ls. 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 Pharmacopoeias.
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., from 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.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, price ls. lid. per
box.—This excellent Family Pill is a Medicine of long-
tried efficacy for correcting all Disorders of the Stomach and
Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness,
Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Head-ache,
Giddiness, Sense of/Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the
Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels,
Indigestion producing a Torpid State of the Liver, and a
consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a.clisomnization
of every function of the frame, will, in this mostb excellent
preparation, by a little perseverance, be ctually removed.
Two or three doses will convince the a ted of its salutary
effects. The Stomach will speedily r ain its strength ; a
healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly
fret
take place; andinstead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health,
will be the quick result of taking this Medicine according to
The directions accompanying each box.
These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs,
Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of
the Urinary Passages; and if taken after too free an indulg-
ence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural
state of repose.
Persons of FULL Hmirr, who are subject to Head-ache,
Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from
too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be with-
out them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely
carried off by their immediate use.
Fon FEMALES, these Pills are most truly excellent, re-
moving all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very
prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of
Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness
of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the
complexion.
To MorirEns, they are confidently recommended as the
best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy : and for
children of all ages they are unequalled.
As a pleasant, safe, easy Aperient, they unite the recom-
mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect,
and require no restraint of diet or confinement during their
use. By regulating the dose according to the age and strength
of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either
sex, that can be required ; and for ELDERLY PEOPLE they
will be found to be the most comfortable Medicine hitherto
prepared.

'THENCE can it arise that the obvious security and ad-
V V vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded
in Liverpool ?—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru-
dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so
reckless ? Of the thousands who are toiling e ly and late
to provide for their families, many must drop long before
that object can be accomplished ; yet how w have Assu-
rances upon their lives, and for this th ason usually as-
signed is, " that they have not had t- to think of Life
eit/r
Assurance." They have time for ev y commercial opera-
tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one
transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay-
ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of
want after their death—an event rendered not less probable
by the fatigue and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a
vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers
of ships belonging to London having Assured their Lives ;
whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the
States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and
to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in-
debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance upon
their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial,
and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have
the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in
Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, Of NO. 20,
Water-street, who will afford every facility for the immedi-
ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and
through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com-
pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool
and its vicinity.
