IMPORTANT TO HOUSEKEEPERS AND
CONSUMERS OF COAL.

TN consequence of the numerous complaints made by
I the Consumers of Coals respecting short weights, and the
mixture or substitution of inferior Coals for those of established
character, the INCE-HALL COAL and CANNEL COMPANY
have determined to supply the Public direct, and have availed
themselves of this opportunity to make a considerable reduc-
tion in price, at the same time that a genuine quality of Coa
is guaranteed. The attention of the Public is requested to the
following Scale of Prices, which includes Cartage within the
limits of the Borough : s• d. s. d.
House Cannel reduced from 20 0 to 17 0
Best Household
11
Arley Mine Coal l3 6 ~ 13 0
Best King Coal
Pemberton Four Feet
11 0 9 0 Ince Four Feet

HOUSE CANNEL has beer-is yet but partially introduced
into consumption in Liverp 1, but it is, without exception, the
most brilliant and chee Coal that is burnt. It is too swift
to burn alone, but a f umps put on the fire in the evening
will be found to ad aterial!), to the comfort of the fireside.
It burns with a ite ash.

The ARLrIINEiiS-s only been recently opened by the
Company, ut the Coal, from its quality being superior to any
other Coal raised in Lancashire, is rapidly commanding a pre-
ference; and in the London market ranks with the best New-
castle Wallsend. It possesses every requisite quality, being
without slack, durable, cheerful, and quite free from dirt. It
burns with a very small quantity of brown ash, and throws out
no dust. This mine is 414 yards deep.
KING COAL is what has hitherto been usually consumed in
Liverpool as best Coal. It burns with a brown ash, and from
its great durability will be found exceedingly economical.
There is no slack in this, and but little dust.
PEMBERTON FOUR FEET is a clear, cheerful coal. and
unusually large. It burns with a white ash, and emits consi-
derable heat. It is excellently adapted to culinary purposes.
INCE FOUR FEET is similar to Pemberton, but it isslightly
more dusty. It is a valuable Coal for Bakehouses and similar
uses.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonials is another proof of the great
efficacy of this Medicine :

157, Now Bond street, London, October 121 h, 1850.
Sir, In acquainting you With the great bencfit which I have
experienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC
PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion
of the public who may be similarly afflicted.
About twenty years since I was first attacked by Rheumatic
Gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected
to every variety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th
Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th
Hussars. I always procured the best medical aid, but without
obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appre-
ciated only by those who know something of this disease.
It was during one of those paroxysms, ,between twelve and
thirteen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S
PILLS. I lost no time in procuring ti-box, and before I had
taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few
days I was in perfect health.
From that moment whenever .>1 feel any symptoms of the
disease approaching, I have instant recourse to this Medicine,
which to me is so valuable that were it not that the days of
magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I
obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health
has not in any degree suffered, but on the contrary I believe
the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement.
I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.—l am, air,
yours respectfully, GARRET FOSTER
To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
For Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic-Doloreux,
pains in the head and face, and all analagous complaints, it is a
sovereign remedy ; and the speedy relief afforded in this in-
stance is parallel with the testimonials of the late Rev. Dr.
Blomberg, of Misperton Hall, Rector of Cripplegate, London,
and Chaplain to his Majesty William the Fourth ; John Molard
Wheeler, Esq., of Jamaica, transmitted by his brother at Swin-
don; John James Giles, Esq., Frimley, Surrey; R. Mandell,
Esq., Coroner, Doncaster ; Mr. Courtney, Barton Stacey,
Hants; Mr. Cosher, Beaconsfield; Mr. Yates, traveller to
Messrs. Day and ,Martin, London ; Mr. Nasniyth, 208, Picca-
dilly, London ; Mr. Dixon and Mr. Blake, Kingscliffe, North-
amptonshire; and that extraordinary case of Lieut. Masters,
of the Veteran Battalion, Newfoundland ; and many others
whose particular cases have been already published, and were
given unsolicited to assure sufferers by Gout, Rheumatism, &c.,
that speedy relief may be obtained by taking this Medicine.
The respectability of BLAIR'S PILLS rests in a great degree
upon the truth of its testimonials, and the strictest inquiry is
solicited into all that has been published.
