The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a- gentle
stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life,
and is, therefore, calculated to affbrd decided relief to those
who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such
persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of
life is almost subdued ; they are wanting in that, activity of
mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and
partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive ap-
prehensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature
grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co., Sur-
geons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of
SYRIACUM.

Whatever enriches the blood without inflaming it; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws
off viscid humours; whatever strengthens the general habit,
and brings ,back the muscular fibres to their natural and
healthy tone; whatever is calculated to produce in a consi-
derable degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under
certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted to
every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of
Syriacum snakes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra
in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or
collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility of
nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent medi-
cine, for its reanimating powers almost exceed credibility ;
its fine, rich, stimulating, balsamic stomachic qualities—its
purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi-
gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties
become restored to their proper power and functions, and
the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency,
and duration. upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature
decay, to sound and pristine health.
As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknowledged
to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastinge, loss of
appetite, indigestion. depression of spirits, trembling, or
shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness
of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful
efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed
by its use.

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,

are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, astlimas, and
consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured.
Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere long, meet
the happiest change; the chill watery fluid will become rich
and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and
healthy.

IMPORTANT INVENTION FOR STEERING
SHIPS, STEAM-BOATS, &C.
VrR. COCHRANE'S PATENT STEERING APPA-
AL RATUS may now be inspected at Mr. LAYcoces
Iron Warehouse, Oldhall-street, Liverpool.
Those Captains who have had this machine applied to their
ships report—
" That the ship is completely under its control ; all jerk-
" ing is prevented by powerful springs; more sail may be
" carried ; it gives the helm with an ease, quickness, and
" precision never before equalled • the man at the helm is
" free from any danger of being ;brown over the wheel, or
" fatigued from holding on, and consequently has no fear for
his personal safety."

The're are no ropes to part or ride, which so frequently
endangers the ship and the lives of those on deck.
For particulars as to price, apply as above.
