LATE THOMAS iVOOLIIELD'S.

W. 13. PROMOLT,

TO PREVENT ALL MISTAKES, and, at the same time to reply
to a question so frequently asked in his E ilishment,
whether his predecessor, Thomas Woolfieid, ha. ny interest. in
a concern which it is attempted to establish op, . ite to him under
a similar name, considers it a duty he owe his friendship and
esteem to inform the Public that Tu Woot.Fiwy is no
longer interested in any business wh., iever, still less in one
which would be so contrary to his uciples of right towards
his successor.

W. P. B. avails himself of the opportunity to offer his best
thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and Public for the support. that
has been so liberally continued to him during the past year; and
he begs to assure his patrons that, encouraged by their favour,
he will at all timesstrive to deserve and increase it, by a prompt
attention to their commands. and likewise by keeping up the
choice selection and maniracture of his goods, which—as is now
universally known, are of the very hest.quality and workmanship.

PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and
symptom of the SYPII I LlTic DISEASE, and the dliorders
arising from improper treatment.

No. 54. SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In -boxes at'2s. 9d. and 4s. Gd. each.
Warranted not to contain COPA IBA, CUBEBS, or any
deleterious ingredient.
*.*With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and
Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness,
&c. &c.. containing hints worth knowing'hy those who are, or
have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating, malady.
Dr. DAV lESON continues to direct his attention to those dis-
orders arising front the too free and indiscrini• 'ate indulgence
of the passions, which not only occasion a merons train of
nervous affections, but also entails on its v aries all the ener-
vating imbecilities of obi age. In that tressing state of de-
bility and deficiency, whether the con nence of baneful ha-
bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers
of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, stud
speedy restoration to sound anti vigorous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ye
nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who,
by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when the great Doctor Swedonr became Professor at Ley-
den University,.he conferred an invaluable' benefit upon man-
kind by-the discovery of his grand Panacea, for 16e cure of this
deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in the most minnte and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have-been so
long ce:ebrated. The lame of these Pills throughout Germany,
caused their speeds-introduction into almost evary country. The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long conti-
nental war they 'were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier. in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained: What medicine can he more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hyge-
ian Herb Pills root out evety particle of insidious poison, puri-
fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only
remove rhe disease, but renovate by their, action the different
functions of the body expelling,t he grocer ,humours, and in a
manner so mild anti imperceptible- as to. convince the most
sceptical of their astonishing and tine quailed powers. The
'neither contain mercury 11. T any other mineral. and may be
taken without the aiightest sast:xion of discovery—they require
no restraint of diet, loss of time, or ,hindrance of business. hut
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 Hyg,eian 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 deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to cant ion he public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by
sea and land, and Ought. never to be omitted by any person going
a long voyage or journey. their properties are such that neither
beat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent. the due
effects on the con.litution. _ .

outhe Glasgow cotton-spinrhers; after which his lordship moved
,„. for various papers connected with the trial of those men, ob-
.serving that he should fearlessly express his opinions of judges
an'Tlaw officers, as he did not consider those persons to be above
till law or the houses.of parliament.
oid ;MELBOURNE said, that he should not oppose the motion
• kr papers, but he regretted that such a notice.had been given.
The Duke of WELirsGrom- said, without entering into the

wife the very important question regarding combinations.
The rnotion was then agreed to.
The banking (clerical) copartnership bill was read a second
time,. after which their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE O 1 COMMONS—THoRsoxY,

Lord EBRINGTON renewed his inquiry respecting the claims
of British subjects whose property had been confiscated in Spain
i u 1604.
The Cu knEr.r.ort of the EXctiEQUER answered, that the case
had been under.the• consideration of government; that an esti-
mate was ir..eparing, as to the amount required to meet theclaims,
as well as the treasury minute on the subject, which papers he
should lay before the house.
