' PRIESTLEY'S

CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR
FINEST FLUID EXTRACT OF
THE
JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.

T- - -
HIS most efficient and agreeable Preparation of
that well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA
SARSAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific
method, by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile
parts are preserved ; and the experience of many. years
has fully established the reputation of this Medicine, as
containing more of the virtues of the root than any
other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been par-
ticularly striking in the following complaints : Nocturnal
Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands,
Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., &c. ; in free-
ing the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects
are very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the
cutaneous-vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes that
disposition to Erysipilatous Inflammation from which so many
persons periodically suffer; and when taken in the Spring and
Fall of the Year as an Alterative Medicine, it will be found to
impart that strength to the constitution which is indicated by
firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the com-
plexion.
Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord-
street, Liverpool, in Bottles at Ils., 225., and 335. per
Bottle.

PRIESTLEY'S AROMATIC TONIC TINCTURE,
a pleasant and agreeable remedy for Indigestion, loss of Appe-
tite, Wind, Flatulency, and all complaints arising from inward
debility, Weakness, &c.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the
Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself and
combine scientific skill with great accuracy; and though num-
bers 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 agree-
able flavour nor the medicinal preperties of the Seidlitz
Waters. _ _ _

Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenti:fo7 Powders.

PRIESTLEY'S QUININE AND SARSAPARILLA.

This preparation of Quinine, from the compination of the
Sarsaparilla, is a remedy superior to any Medicine hitherto
recommended in cases of Debility, Nervousness, local and
general Weakness, Languor, Lethargy, Lowness of Spirits, In-
digestion, Loss of Appetite, Loss of Flesh, Approaching Decline,
and all Impurities of the Blood. In re-establishing the health,
this Medicine stands pre-eminent.
Sold in bottles at 4s. 6d., 11s., and 225.
N.B.—Upon receipt of a Post-office Order, a bottle, carefully
packed up, can be sent to any part of the country.
-PRIESTLEY'S COUGH AND ASHMATICAL DROPS,

FOR COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, CONSUMPTIONS, &C. &C.
This invaluable Medicine immediately relieves Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and Huskiness in
the Throat.

These Drops are also the best preventative that can be taken
against SPITTING OF BLOOD, and AFFECTION Of the LITNna.
Persons troubled with ASTHMA are consMerably relieved by
taking a few doses of the Drops, as they tend to promote
expectoration and remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure
of the HOOFING Conon, they are no less efficacious. Those
who are troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the Throat,
which deprives them of rest night after night, by the incessant
Cough which it provokes, will, by. taking one dose, find im-
mediate relief; and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a
cure.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same,calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.

" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
" I am your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it !
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and
the Patentees' during seven years' active working of their
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
seethe depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World. lined with their uneaualled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Sates in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unburnt.
Ere at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool ; a sti ong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
F're at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
statiding besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire ; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milners
Safe.

Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,

room, 15, South John-street, Liverpool.
