T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs parti-
• cularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to the undermentioned selection of PreOrations.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
Which approach nearer than anything e discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germq . The style of
preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ DERS IS peculiar
to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu-
racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted
imitations, they have invariably been found to be spurious
compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor
the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty. four Pow-
ders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin
Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible
form for exportation, or to use at sea, and will keep any
length of time in all climates.
THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore,
who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to
prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract,
which possesses the advantages of portability and of keep-
ing in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode
of employing this much esteemed Medicine.
Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength
to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly pre-
scribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharma-
copoeias.

The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial
are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections,
Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising
from a diseased state of the system at large. For remov-
ing Blotches, Pimples, &c. from the face, this Medicine
has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name
of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues
of the Sarsaparilla consists of its extractive matter, and
it possesses no real property in the form of essence,
while the syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by
causing acid fermentation.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating
and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf,
nourishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a
most beautiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a
peculiar softness of texture and luxuriant appearance.

all tartarous incrustations from the enamel; and by its
peculiar properties preserves that necessary covering.—

PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE.

For Cleaning and polishing Furniture without labour
or trouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing
every description of furniture, whatever preparation may
have been previously used or that purpose, it adds a
high lustre to French Polish.—Sold in Pots at Is. each
