CONSUMPTION

THIS insidious and generally fatal malady is too
frequently neglected because its character is not sus-
pected until the constitution is materially injured.
It might in many cases be averted, were the premonitory
slmp'oms, " CouoH," but timely checked by remedial mea-
sures ; attention must be directed to the earliest stage of the
comr I ant, for which no medicine can have been attended with
more satisfactory results than " KEATING'S COUGH LO-
ZENGES," when taken on the first appearance of Catarrhal
Irritation. They have been long known and eulo2.lsed by the
most eminent of the Faculty for their unerring efficacy in al-
laying Comm, and at the same time promoting a gentle and
healthy expectoration, thus effectualK arresting the progress
of disease. These LozEmziEs &Watford certain and speedy
relief in cases of winter Cough *ti Asthma, Bronchitis, and all
Pulmonary affections.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIALS.
"Birkenhead, near Liverpool, Jan. 8, 1847.
" SIR,—I have been afflicted with a severe cough, and short-
ness of breath, for nearly eight years, and, after trying various
remedies, did not find myself any better. I purchased a small
box of KEATING'S LOZENGES of you, from which I found great
enefit. The second box, 2s. 9d. size, completely cured me ,
and I can now breathe more freely, and am as free from cough
as ever I was in my life. Hoping'ithat others similarly afflicted
will avail themselves of so certain and safe a remedy,
" I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,
" WILLIAM ANDERSON.
" To Mr.G.H. Howell, Chemist. 72, Dale-street, Liverpool.

" St. Paul's Cathedral, 30th Nov., 1849.
" have much pleasure in recommending your Lo-
ZENGES to those who may be distressed with Hoarseness.
They have afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely
able to sing from the effects of Catarrh. I think they would be
very useful to Clergymen. Barristers, and Public Orators.
I am, Sir, yours faithfully.
"To Mr. Keating." " THOS. FRANCIS, Vicar Choral.

" William-street. East India-road, Poplar New Town,
November Bth. 1849.
"Sin,—l conceive that it is merely the manifestation of a
proper sympathy for the afflicted, by informing you of the very
decided and extraordinary relief which I have obtained from
the use of your Cough Lozenges. I have for the last four years
been afflicted with a• distressing cough, with a difficulty of
breathing. Atcidentally hearing of your Cough Lozenges, I
purchased a 2s. 9d. tin of your Agent, Mr. Kernot, Medical
Institution, Chrisp-street, Poplar New Town, by which I am
now perfectly cured, and beg to return many thanks, and am,
" Sir, your obedient servant.

THE TEA AND COFFEE TRADE

CORR and COMPANY beg to announce to the
Inhabitants of Liverpool the they will OPEN the PRE-
MI:SW. 55, RENSHAW-STREET, Corner Of BENSON-STREET,
on SATURDAY next, the 19th instant, for the SALE of TEAS,
COFFEES, &c. _ _

In soliciting the attention of the Public to their Establish-
ment, they will not follow that injurious system both to the
advertiser and the public of giving. characters to TEA and
COFFEE at certain prices to which they are not entitled, which
has had the effect of reducing prices and quality conjointly, by
which inferior and spurious Teas are brought into use, without
any advantage to the consumers, who are generally under the
impression that they are getting those articles-di a fiery great
reduction, while they are nothing better ' oint of fact, and,
in many instances, riot so good as wh s generally offered by

a species of deco on. One of the means usually ardoped by
those exclusivgl in the Tea, Coffee. and Lump Sugar Trade is,
that Grocers cannot sell Tea anti Coffee as cheap as those who
only sell Tea. Coffee, and Limp Sugar. We respectfully deny
...

respectable Grocer in Livrpool can blln as well and sell as cheap,
if he chooses, without being restricted in any way by his selling
Raw Sugar, which article is left out of the catalogue of some
from a want of capital, as this article, to be sold to advantage,
must be bought for Cash. On the other hand, Tea and Coffee
can be had on a two and three months' credit, without, compa-
rati'ely speaking, any (lisadvantage, which, in itself, is a great
inducement to parties to confine themselves in this branch of
I s the trade, still without being able to give in reality, any advan-

tape to th'e public over those in the general trade. 'Cei:tainly a
profit arising out of about one hundred and fifty articles ought
to enable those in the general trade to cut as low or lower than
houses whose trade is confined to the sale of three or four
articles ; if they think it can be done without having recourse
to fictitious grounds or unprincipled assertions. It has been
asserted, and is generally supposed. that the article of Raw'
Sugar is commonly sold at a loss : this twist also apply to Re-
fined Sugar. It may sometimes happen, owing to freqnent
fluctuations in the market; but, on the whole, it is an article
that pays as well as any other, consequent on the great amount
sold. Any respectable house will dispose of from•thirty or
forty hundred a week, on which may be realized from Is. 3d.
to ls, 6d. per cwt., and give as good value as is sold at present,
which, in itself, is a handsome profit ; but, shonld there be any
persons who make a practice of selling a better article than
the market price will admit of, we can only say in reference to
such parties. that they cannot do it with justice to the public or
credit to themselves. The next subject we have to refer to is, the
periodical practice of publishing reductions, varying from 2d.
to Bd. per lb. on Tea anti Coffee. at a time when no actual
change takes p'ace in the market rates. The public ought to
bear in mind that the price of these articles seldom or ever
vary more than from a id. or lid. per lb., except in times of
war or a deficiency of stock. The first cost price of those
articles do not admit of such large reductions : consequently,
when made at such times, they are not made in good faith.
We now beg of those who may read these remarks, to add the
different reductions advertised within the last twelve or eigh-
teem months, and they will find that they exceed the then full
price of such articles, which are now the same, and sold at the
same price they were then by the Rime parties.
It is not the advantage to be had in the purchase of Tea or
Coffee in the wholesale market which enables any party to sell
less than others to any extent; the ability to do so must ema-
nate from judgment in the article, expenses, system of business,
and, lastly, the amount of profit considered commensurate for
time and capital. It is true that all parties in the trade do not
agree on this point ; some consider one amount too small,
some consider it too large. From this difference of opinion
may be deduced the cause of the same article being sold by
different vendors at different prices; which clearly proves that
profits or prices are not regulated by wholesale prices or exclu-
sive advantages, which some arrogate to themselves, or from
other superficial causes which other parties have recourse to,
snch as their connexion with flrat-iate houses, their long. expe-
rience, and long residence in the metropolis, which, no
doubt, may be the case, but which, at the same time, is not suf-
ficient to prove a superior knowledge of the trade, or an ability
to sell less than others, or the infancy of the inhabitants of Li-
verpool as regards their knowledge of Tea, of which they are
admitted to he the best judges and the greatest lovers of fine
Tea in the kingdom. And, as to Coffee, our returns up to the
sth December, 1819. show that the traders of Liverpool have
paid duty on a greater proportion of the finer description of
Coffees than the traders of London ; and have also paid duty on
475,490 pounds of Ten over that of last year: while in London
the amount paid for duty over that of last year to the same pe-
riod amounted only to 840,216., altbmigh their annual gross
amount of duty-paid Teas is five times greater than ours, which
proves that our trade has increased in proportion upwards of
300,000 pounds of Tea over that of London.
To the public the foregoing may appear uninteresting, al-
though it is of great importance that they should be in posses-
sion of these facts. The only apology we can offer for going so
far into the detail of this subject is a desire to protect their in-
terests as well as our own, and that, in so doing, we may help
to prevent their being deceived, while we honourably refute
those assumptions resorted to, to force a trade. Whether the
remarks or allusions we have made act for cr against us we are
indifferent. We have no selfish indite ment, our only object
being to establish sounder principles amongst advertisers in our
trade, whereby the quality of the goods alone will command a
preference.
All our Teas and Coffees will otily be packed at the time
ordered, in plain paper, whereby we shall be in a better posi-
tion to give full value, without listing to deduct mom the qua-
quality of such articles the cost of fancy labels, canisters, &c.,
which in theinselve, are quue unnecessary, intended only to
dazzle the ignorant, without improving the articles. Coffees,
particularly, should never be packed until they are required for
delivery, as in canisters it is certain to heat or sweat, after
which it consequently becomes rancid.
CORR and COMPANY at present decline stating prices, as
their- prices will be always regulated by the market rates, con-
sequently their customers wilt have many advantages from
time to time from which they would he excluded by standard
prices. Their system of business will also enable them to sell
every genuine article at the low:!st possible price. They re-
spectfully solicit a trial of their Goods, which they flatter them-
selves will be found superior in quality, and. at such prices
which cannot fail to give general satisfaction.
