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 disorganization of every function of the
frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little
perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three
doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects.
The Stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly
take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and
jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed
health, will be the quick result of tatting 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 indulgence at table, they quickly restore the
system to its natural state of repose.
Persons of a FULL HABIT, 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 without them, as many dangerous symp-
toms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use.
For FEMALES, these Pills are most truly excellent,
removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so
very prevalent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dull-
ness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and
Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile
bloom to the complexion.
To MOTHERS. 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 re-
commendation of a mild operation with the most success-
ful 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 comforta-
ble Medicine hitherto prepared.

seas no novelty or attraction beyond their excellence
and cheapness, nor would the embellishments of a fine
shop add to their durability.
The celebrity of this Shop for good BOOTS and
SHOES has long been proverbial in Liverpool, and the
Proprietors respectfully assure their Friends mid the
Public, that, at no period since its establishment, were
they ever sold so cheap as at the present time. The in-
convenience of its locality, Paradise. street, from the
recent improvements of adjoining thoroughfares, may
have brought more splendid shops to the gaze of the
public eye: but the more solid advantage of buying a good
article for a small price, must always form the chief re-
commendation of this long-established Shoe Warehouse.

TAE-PEACE

AND

PING—PLENTY.
IT is with the above appropriate characters—the Eng-
lish signification of which is " Peace and Plenty," that
CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspondent heads his
last communication from Fo-kein. " Heaven," he adds,
"approving, has rained down blessings on the Centrnl
Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and
Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4448," (A. D.
1811,) "when the Earth was revivified by the broom-
tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri-
ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra-
grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality; whilst the
plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf.
ehus has nature conspired with the gods to make man
happy."

The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS,
just received, realises all that he anticipated from the
above communication. Their quality is most assuredly
the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis-
sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to
reduce the price below what they have ever before been
harzed.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is
accordingly REDUCED from Bs. 6d. the Catty Package
to 6Fr. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN-
POWDER is REDUCED from Twelve Shillings the
Catty Package to Bs. 6d. the Pound Package.
The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN
RHODES PIDDING," Hon. Company's Service, Fellow
Med. Bot. Society, &c., is on every Genuine Package.

THE never-failine effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND
RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description
of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a cele-
brity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times.
They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient
has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating
tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an
inconceivably short space of time. They are equally
speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronicor acute,
lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed
for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has
been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
Medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it,
and there is not a city, town, or village in the kingdom,
hut contains many grateful evidences of its benign in-
fluence. The following recent case, selected from among
those with which the proprietor has been favoured, is
submitted to the public :

TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON.
Hurst, Sussex, Nov. 6, 1843.
Stn.,--I have the pleasure to inform you that a person
holding an official situation, noticing in one of my hills
that I was agent for Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills,
was induced to try them; he sent for a box, and had only
taken them one day before he found wonderful relief.
The second day he was able to walk without his crwches,
and on the fourth day was completely cured and able to
perform his ordinary occupation.
Previous to this he was generally laid up every year for
several weeks, after leeches and fomentations had been
applied, and medicine taken, to no purpose. I have ob-
tained the above statement from a personal interview, and
have sent this for publication if you think it worthy, and
shall be most happy at any time to satisfy any party de-
sirous of ascertaining its authenticity.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS WYBORN, Chemist.
