[A DVERTISEMENTij
ARROW CONTRACT NION RAILWAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST4NDIRD.

Sie,—On my return home last Friday, I was surprised at
reading in the Liverpool Times, of the 7th instant, a report of
the Directors of the North Union Rail Way, wherein I consider
my character stands much impugned, and which, in justice
to myself, I think requires a few observations.
For a considerable time back I have been paying the very
highest wages for excavators, besides an allowance of a quart
of ale per man each day. For carpenters fof framing the
viaduct I am paying ss. per day and their/lodgings; I am
also paving Bs. a day for hired horses; aft.' all this with a
strong disposition on my part to complete the works as quickly
as possible, in order to remove my materials to a new work ;
but, in consequence of the weather, I have been obliged to
order a large quantity of new waggons and other utensils,
instead of having the' benefit of those now in use on the
North Union Railway ;—in short, what these works may cost
shall be no consideration with me, in order to get them as
speedily completed as practicable.
Respecting the timber viaduct over the Yarrow, I agreed
with the Company to reconstruct the same for the sum of
I:2ooo—the quantity of timber to be used being limited to
15,000 cubic feet of ',Memel or red pine, which quantity was
in the works on the Ist July last; and I have now qn and in
the works 26,888 cubic feet, making an an addition of 11,888
feet to the original contract.
As regards the legal liability of the consequences of the
accident to the Yarrow culvert to be borne by me, it is true
I signed a document to that effect—not from conviction, but
rather than litigate with a powerful body, I submitted without
any legal advice, my adviser at that time being that of the
Company, viz., Mr. Part. '
The original design of the Yarrow culvert was to have
been an arch of forty feet span. I remarked to Messrs.
Vignolles and Collister, chief and resident engineers, that
the span was great to carry such a 'Superineumbent mass of
earth-work, and I promised,to build a culvert of any other
design, provided there was no more cubical quantity of ma-
sonry in one than the other. A new design was therefore
put into my hands by Mc. Collister, and the culvert was
completed accordingly, the contract plan and the altered plan
being still in my possession.
I am sorry, after all my efforts and sacrifices, I have not
succeeded in giving satisfaction to the Railway Directors;
and it is with much reluctance on my part that this statement
should come before the public. I flatter myself I have hi-
therto held a faiibcharacter in the scale of society, and con-
sider, in self-defence, I am justified in making this state-
ment, and will feel much.obliged by your inserting it in your
next publication of the Standard.--11 am, sir. yours, very •
respectfully, WILLIAM MACKENZIE.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.

Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any

deleterious ingredient

ie.* With each Box is given a Treatise. on Venereal
and Syphilitic• Diseases, with observations on seminal weak-
ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knojdng by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.

Dr..DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervotis 'affections,.but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of Old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, 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 vigor-
ous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with
avidity, and used with 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, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
Was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hyg.eian Herb 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 different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled 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 Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively 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 ueverto 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 pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight
in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A PER.
Letters (post-paid) enclosing a rekittecce, answered by
return, and Medicines punctuallyitraNnitted °"+►.any ad-
dress either by initials or name.
