WHOLESALE AND RETAIL GAME, POULTRY,

FRESH AND HOME AND FOREIGN-CURED FISH,

CHEESE, HAM, & BUTTER ESTABLISHMENT,

QUEEN-SQUARE, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM JOHNSON, in tendering his sincere
thanks to his Friends, the Nobility, Gentry, and Public
of the Vicinity, for the flattering patronage he has received
since he opened the above Premises, begs respectfully to inti-
mate to them that he purposes to greatly
ENLARGE HIS PRESENT ESTABLISHMENT,
and keeping, in addition to his ordinary Stock of
GAME, IN EVERY SEASONABLE VARIETY,
BARN DOOR-FED POULTRY, &c. &c.,
A choice Selection of
FRESH AND CURED FISH, CUMBERLAND HAMS AND
BACON, CHEESE, FRESH BUTTER, AND EGGS ;
for the latter of which he bas entered into extensive Contracts
with some of the
FIRST DAIRIES IN THE SOUTH OF SCOTLAND,
and will thus be enabled, not only in quality, but in price, to
bid defiance to competition.
W. J. trusts the experience he has gained while serving,
Wholesale, for the past ten years, the principal Dealers in Game
in St. John's Market, has given him an advantage which, aided
by the arrangements he has made for a regular supply of real
NORFOLK TURKEYS, SURREY CAPONS, SCOTCH
DUCKS, GEESE, and CHESHIRE CHICKENS, and his
determination to Sell at the
SMALLEST REMUNERATING PROFIT,
will insure to the Public a really good Article at fully 30 per
cent. below ordinary charges, and gain for him that reward
enterprize should merit.

As ‘I,V. -.J. keeps none but the very best Articles, it is useless
to dilate on their excellence; suffice it to say, that each is WAR-
RANTED, and dressed ready for the cuisine—boned or larded at
the will of the Purchaser, in the most modern Metropolitan
styles.
Hampers of GAME for Presents, at all Prices. Country or
Post Orders promptly executed.

CONTRACTOR FOR GAME &c.,

INSTANTANEOUS AND EFFECTUAL CURE
FOR CORNS, BUNIONS, CALOSITIES, NAILS
GROWING INTO THE FLESH, AND EVERY
DISORDER OF THE FEET, WITHOUT CUT-
TING OR CAUSING THE SLIGHTEST PAIN.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—As Mr. Levi has been in-
formed by several of his Patients that a person has been
calling on several houses in Liverpool, and representing
himself to some as Mr. Levi, and to others that he was sent
by him, Mr. Levi thinks it but justice to the public, to
acquaint them that he has no connection with any such pre-
tenders, nor does he attend out of his residence (except by
particular desire), neither will he be responsible for any
accident that is likely to occur by employing such empirics.
Mr. L. bey: particularly to direct the attention of those who
may be troubled with Corns, Bunions, 4c., IC., to a para-
graph which appeared in the " LONDON MORNING POST,"
of .November the 13th, where will be seen the dangerous re-
sults that may occur from unskilful treatment.
MONSIEUR LEVI, CHIROPODIST, from Paris, and
No. 3, CONDUIT-STREET, REGENT-STREET, LONDON,
has the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and Inha-
bitants of Liverpool and its Environs his FOURTH ANNUAL
PROFESSIONAL VISIT to this town ; and, owing to his
numerous engagements in London and Paris, his present stay
will be necessarily short ; an immediate application will there-
fore be desirable.
Mons. L. takes the present opportunity to return his grateful
thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced
during his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that
various arrangements at his establishments in London and
Paris will preclude the possibility of his revisiting this town
for a very long period, so that those who may require his pro-
fessional services should not lose the present favourable oppor-
tunity.
Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short
time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi-
dence,
No. 34, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
Mons. L. (who has no professional connexion with any Person
whatever) begs to submit the following Testimonials :
COPIES OF TESTIMONIALS.
From Mervyn Richardson, Esq.
I have much pleasure in certifying that Mr. Levi extracted
several corns out of my feet eighteen months since, and upon a
thorough examination, I find there is not the least sign of any
others having taken their places, and I have been perfectly free
from pain in consequence.
MERVYN RICHARDSON, Rock Ferry, near Liverpool.
January 26, 1848.

From James Plumpton, Esq.
I certify that Mons. Levi removed a very troublesome corn
from my foot two years ago, which has not returned. I had
also extracted this day, a soft corn between the toes, with equal
skill and without the least pain.
JAMES PLUMPTON, Low-hill House, Liverpool.
