APOLLO SHIRT,

CAUSE. It is generally admitted that amongst the
various articles of clothing, there is nothing
so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts;
in fact it is impossible, according to the pre-
sent mode of the shape and manufacture, that
it should be otherwise; every movement of
the body of the Shirt affects the position and
cleanliness of the breast, even in the mere
process of putting it on, as the body of the
common Shirt is so intimately connected with
the breast that the action cracks the starch,
and lays the first foundation of creases and
soiled lines; and when on, the action of the
arms and ordinary movements of the person,
without affecting the correct fit and appear-
ance of the breast, is quite unprovided for,
from there being no firm line of demarkation
between the breast and body, and also from
its improper form.

DISCOVERY

. After the close atteSion and practical obser-
vance of several years to Shirt making, the
subscriberfeels confident in the merits of the
discovery he is now offering to the public ; he
lasfderived the name from the general resem-
./blance which the shape of the breast bears to
that classic and symbolic figure of antiquity,
the Lyre of Apollo, the breast being in that
form, is contained within a beautifully
stitched and
.firm band, cut out of one piece
of cloth entirely surrounding it and the collar;
the band resting in fair balance on the neck
and shoulders, acts upon the collar and breast
in the same manner as a frame to a picture,
S.thus completely preventing the continual ac-
tion of the other parts of the Shirt, affecting
the position of the breast in the slightest man-
ner, whilst the peculiar shape of the breast,
forming an apex at the bottom, marks its pro-
per place, which, upon putting it on, it imme-
diately assumes and maintains; here the un-
necessary surplus length of plaits occasioned
by the square bottom of the common Shirt is
avoided, thus removing, in a great measure,
one of the chief difficulties in fitting a Shirt.
The indentation on the sides of the breast of
the APOLLO SHIRT, allows complete room
for the play of the arms and braces without
interfering with the position of the breast, an
object most dnaccountably overlooked in all
the Shirts at present in use,—in short, the
most violent exercise may be resorted to,
without hazarding the chance of removing the
breast from the position it ought to maintain,

ADVANTAGE

A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR
INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA,

INCIPIENT CONSUMPTIONS,

AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST_A/4D-ETYNGS

SPENCER'S PULMCKITC ELIXIR,
carefully prepared from the Recipe of the late C. SPENCER,
Surgeon, Bz.c., Salford, Manchester, deservedly celebrated as
the most successful practitl6ner in all pulmonary affections.
Of all complaints iucifient to the human frame, those of the
Lungs appear to bvtiost peculiar to this climate, especially in
damp, foggy weather, and during the winter months; whilst
persons of every age and station of life are alike the subjects of
attack. SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted
to promote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the
phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling sensation which occa-
sions the cough, without tightening the chest.

The PULMONIC ELIXIR was originally prepared by the late
Mr. Spencer, whose signal success in dispensing it can have
the ready testimony of thousands, who have experienced its
efficacy. The recipe is now solely known to the present Pro-
prietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor.
The two great characteristics of the Elixir are, the allaying of
all irritation in the delicate and susceptible coating of the
throat and chest; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the
respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their
functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath-
ing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmosphere, and to
throw off those insidious attacks which too often lay the
groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local
affections, as Whzezing, Irritation of the Throat, Huskiness of
Voice, and Influenza' the PULMONIC ELIXIR gives instant
relief, while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical Coughs
or inveterate Asthma) it is equally efficient, though of course
requiring a little more perseverance in the use of the medicine.
Innumerable cases of well-attested cures have been received
by the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. The
following is the most recent :
" Messrs. MOTTERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to
hand the following Testimonial, just received by them, ad-
dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR.
" SIRS ,—I feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to ac-
knowledge the great benefit I have received by taking SPEN-
CER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. I have been troubled for the last
three years with a severe cough, and a disease on my lungs; I
have consulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester
and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo-
rary relief, for a short time, and always at a great expense. At
the latter end of 1844, I had occasion to visit London. Before
this time, I never heard of your invaluable Elixir; a friend
of mine recommended me to try it. As I found the London
