TO THE -
LADIES OF LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER.

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT OF
Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN,
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager,
Her Imperial highness the Princess of Orange,
. . .• .

Her Royal fil'yhness the Princess Sophia of the Netherlands.
17 RS. NICHOLAS GEA ItY, Court Stay Maker, of
.1.,11 61, St. James's Street, London, is honoured with the
above illustrious appointments in approval of her invention,
so highly beneficial to the Female Community at large, as
may be seen by the annexed testimonials from the most dis-
tinguished Members of the London Medical Profession. Mrs.
Geary begs to announce that she intends to visit LIVERPOOL,
on Monday, the 12th instant, where she will remain until the
26th instant, her arrangements being made to visit MANcnEs-
Tea from the 28th instant, until the 10th of December, when
she returns to town.

Mrs. Geary will have with her an extensive assortment of
her elegant newly invented DRESS and INVALID
STAYS, which by the total absence of all uneven pressure
may be worn with unspeakablecomfort, while at the same time
they yield a general support, and produce a figure of such
exquisite symmetry, that attempted to any other Slay would
almost amount,to suffocation. To Young Ladies and Grow-
ing Children this invention may truly be considered of the
most vital importance towards the establishment of a good
Constitution, free from those gradual but certain diseases
which are cited at length in the second editio❑ of " Deformi-
ties of the Chest and Spine, by W. Coulson, Esq.," from
page 200 to 205, where that gentleman shows no fewer than
97 diseases that have come under the observation of eminent
Medical Gentlemen, arising ENTIRELY from the IMPROPER
CONSTRUCTION OF STAYS IN GENERAL USE.

The annexed authorities will satisfy the most scrupulous as
to the advantages of Mrs. Geary's invention.
" I have much pleasure in stating that the stays invented
by Mrs. Geary will obviate all the inconveniences of those
commonly employed."—C. J. 13. Aldis, M.D., Old Burling-
ton-street, March 6, 1837.
"It appears to me that Mrs. Geary stays ate touch supe-
rior to those in ordinary use."—B. C. Brodie.
" I have examined the stays invented by Mrs Geary, and
think them admirably adapted to give salutary support to the
body without that injurious pressure which renders ordinary
stays ISO extremely prejudicial."—J. T. Conquest,
"In Mrs. Geary's corset for growing girls, the pressure on
every part of the chest is slight, and by exerting no pressure
on the edges of the hip, it does not (by forcing those edges to
grow inward) diminish, during youth, the cavity of the pelvis,
or hazard the suffering which must attend that malformation
in mothers."—Extracted from Coulson's Work on " Deformi-
ties of the Chest and Spine," 2d edition.
" I am so satisfied of the superiority of Mrs. Geary's stays
and belt for pregnant ladies, that I shall make a point of re-
commending them whenever I may have an opportnnity.."—
J. Eyre, M.D., Lower Brook street, March 23, 1837.
"The stays invented by Mrs. Geary, from the ingenuity
with which they are constructed, are eminently calculated to
allow of that ease and freedom of motion so essential to ele-
gance and health. They appear, therefore, likely to prove
far superior to the stays in common use, which contribute to
the production of much deformity and many serious diseases."
—G. F. D. Evans, M.D., 21, Hill-street, Berkeley-square.
`• It is the complete corset that the genius of Mrs. Geary
has had full swing. The problem to be solved was to support
the figure, yet not to dimish freedom of motion, and to con-
ceal the size of the abdomen when too large."—Extracted
from Dr. James Johnson's " Medico-Chirurgical Review"
for January, 1837.

"I have examined MN. Geary's improved stays, and I
have no hesitation in saying, I think them infinitely superior
for the purpose of support to any in use. I consider the belt,
also invented by the same lady, for pregnant females, devised
upon an exceedingly good principle "--4 raneis H. Rams-
botham, M.D., 14, New Broad-street, March 21, 1837.
"Mrs. Geary's stays, of all kinds, present a new and ra-
tional principle in the construction of Ihese most important
portions of dress. The formation of the bosom, and of all
parts adapted to prominences, is a matterof great ingenuity,
and of extraordinary beauty."—Extracted from " Female
Beauty," by Mrs. A. Walker.
"The Exercise Corset, invented by Mrs. Geary, is abso-
lutely necessary in allexercises of the Arms, and especially in
the Indian exercises, for which they were constructed."—
Extracted front "Exercises fur Ladies," by Donald Walker,
2d edition.

MONS. LE DRAY Sz. Sisgett-Dtintists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70. S I.:EL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the MMeral Marinoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the looth7ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.

Among the various diSolders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and.is the
primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can
effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap-
plication without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed front
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla-
ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :

A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0

solution of the Partnership hitherto subsisting between
himself and 11r. Orchard, and also that it is his intention to
carry on the Establishment solely on his own account.

In soliciting a continuance of 'those favours which the late
firm were so liberally supplied with, the Proprietor confi-
dently asserts that, in point of quality and price, no House
can supply the Public more to their advantagein the Articles
he tells, particularly in TEAS; and the circumstances that
give him this superiority over the rest of the Trade, consist
in a thorough search which he has made through the Liver-
pool, Bristol, and London Tea Markets, a careful comparison
of the different qualities, so as to select the very finest and
most servicrtable Teas, and a determination to offer them
for Sale at the very lowe►t remunerating profit.
'These TEAS he now respectfully offers to the Public,
earnestly soliciting a trial of them, and invites comparison
with any House in the Trade.

• his numerous Friends, for their very liberal support,
and to inform them that the state of his health at present,
and for some time past, (arising from the great exertions,
both mental and bodily, required for conducting a business
so extensive,) demands that he should relinquish business
altogether or admit a Partner to take a share of the labour.

In order to make way for such arrangement as the latter,
it would he necessary to CLEAR OFF a considerable por-

PRIZE WHEAT.
TO THE AGRICULTUHISTS OF LINCOLNISHIFIN, &C.

A Newly-discoversd Wheat, " Four-square-headed-Red
Britannia," by THOS. FULLAHD, Thornev, near
Peterboro', fresh imported, fresh to the soil, fresh to the
atmosphere. One quarter of it will sow from 6to 7 acres.
The production of this seed this year has proved beyond a
doubt that. it is well calculated for this country. Lord
Chesterfield's representative has the highest opinion of it,
and numbers of the largest farmers in the six adjoining
counties say they never witnessed any thing equal to it. One
gentleman, who has very poor land, has Wormed me that he
is selling his crop of this Wheat at £8 per quarter, and he
has had 11 quarters to the acre. Mr. Abbot, of Loudham,
has sold my Wheat at £8 per quarter; it was the best crop
in the neighbourhood. 50 bushels of this Wheat will make
more money than 100 bushels of common Wheat. The best
seed is best for the community, best for improvement, best
for the landlord, best for the tenant, best for the poor. It is
the greatest object to the Wheat grower to select the proper
Wheat for Seed: the common sort is ruinous. From 1
quarter of my Wheat Mr. Shield grew 440 bushels; Mr.
Mr. Ilodsmn, from 2 bushels 13 quarters, 6 bushels; Mr.
Carisbruok, near Lincoln, had three labourers who had
pieces of ground all alike; one sowed env Wheat and hail as
much as the other two; this shows 1-iv little what men may
do. 1 have received an order from Windsor for this Wheat
to seed the Queen's farm. The Yorkshire farmers pre-
sented me with a piece of plate for the benefit they received
from this new discovery. The gold medal in London has
been awarded me for the merit of the introduction Of this
\V heat. A farmer can no more fight his way now without
following the new-improved specimens than a soldier can
fight without arms. The time I hope now is come for every
one to make every improvement and break down all preju-
dice, and not act as if they were in bondage. I know I may
as well try to swallow all London, and drench it down with
the Thavnes, as to attempt to turn some people. I hope to
see the Irish better provided for. I can find thousands of
houses in Ireland in which for the last two months there haV
not been a loaf of bread. I myself witnessed this distressing
fart.

Now for Sale, the Wellington Waterloo White Wheat
selected from the field of Waterloo a few years since ; it has
always been set by hand, and thrashed upon a cloth in the
field, to prevent mixture of any kind. All other sorts of
Wheat may be had of my agents.
I have also now on safe, German Marrow-fat Tares to sow
no clovers instead of rye-grass, as I consider rye-grass a
cloak for twitch, and an enemy to Wheat. One of the
largest farmers in Norfolk, who has always been a large
grower, declares he will never sow rye-grass again. I should
be happy to give any gentleman my plan of sowing the
tares, as the system will improve the crop, the stock, and tbe
laud. Atl letters post-paid.

teration, has been promptly appreciated.

pOBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, and PATENT
IL GROATS, recommended by the Faculty, patronized
by the Queen and Royal Family.
The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of
nursing,) Invalids, and Families, is particularly called to the
above ,Patent Articles, being the purest Fatima of the Oat
and Barley ever produced, deprived of their fermentative
properties by a steam process.
ROBINSON'S PATENT BAR LEY cannot be equalled
by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few
minutes; all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more
palatable than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is
an excellent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly
useful for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious
puddings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, are universally
esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats
and Barley are a nutritious' food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.
CAUTION.—The Patentees, having received a Special
Warrant of Appointment as Purveyors to her Majesty, con-
sider it a duty they owe to themselves and the Public, to put
them on their guard against imitation, and respectfully to
