A SINGLE TOOTH FOR FIVE SHILLINGS.
MESSRS. COOPER and Co., SURGEON DENTISTS,
10, Slater-street, (on the right hand,) Liverpool, beg to
inform the inhabitants of Liverpool and vicinity, that they are
at length enabled to MAKE TEETH AVAILABLE TO ALL
CLASSES ; their price for a Single Tooth being 55., whatever
quantity may be required. This, they assure their Friends
and the Public, is the full price of -their best Teeth; and the
price can only be increased by expensive mountings.
The mechanical department is filled by first-rate workmen
from London and Paris; and it is only the immense quantity
manufactured that enables them to fix their prices so low. All
operations of the Teeth equally moderate. Filling decayed
Teeth with the Mineral Mamoratum, 2s. 6d. Artificial Teeth
repaired, remodelled, and brought to their former shape and
appearance.
They also fasten loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons,
whether arising from neglect, the use of calomel, disease of the
gums, or any other cause.
SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED.

Among the various disorders of the mouth, there are none
more destructive than Scurvy, which, on first entering the
gums, causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions. A
soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the
teeth, penetrating into the gums, which gradually waste away,
and the Teeth then become loose and drop out of their sockets,
and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from
this cause than any other; in short, Scurvy in the Gums affects
individuals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily
removed, will be the primary cause of tooth-ache and decay.
Messrs. COOPER ane Co. are happy to state that they have
discovered a certain remedy for the removal of this distressing
malady, which, if used in conjunction with their VEGETABLE
ANOYDONE TINCTURE, will entirely extirpate the complaint.—

ESTABLISHED IN THE YEAR 1822.
PRIESTLEY'S

CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR FLUID EXTRACT OF

THE FINEST
JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.

THIS 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 lis., 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 medicitra• preperties of the Seullitz
Waters.

Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders.
PRIESTLEY'S QUININE AND SARSAPARILLA.
This preparation of Quinine, from the combination 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., Ils., 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, ASTIIMAS, 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 LUNGS.
Persons troubled with ASTHMA are considerably 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.

Sold only at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in Bottles, at is. lid.,
2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.
ESSENCE OF RENNET,
FOR MAKING DELICIOUS CURDS AND WHEY.

This wholesome preparation is engaged to keep, and obviates
all the uncertainty of making Whey from the Rennet Bag.
MUCH-ADMIRED ALMOND FLAVOUR.

A few drops of this Flavour, added to Custards, Puddings,
Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most delicious taste
of Almonds. Sold in Bottles, with Directions, Is. 6d. and 3s.

JONES'S CHALYBEATE GERMAN SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
The various effects produced by the operation of Seidlitz
Powders depend entirely on the different mode of preparation.
These powders are brought to that state of perfection by which
the most uniform results will be experienced. They are quite
tasteless, and possess all the excellent qualities of the famous
German Seidlitz Spring, to which so many persons annually
resort. The low price at which they are prepared will also
secure them a decided preference.
In Boxes containing Powders for Twelve Glasses at Is. 3d.
and Tin Cases.

SUPERIOR GINGER BEER, VNIONADE, AND ORANGE-

ADE POWDERS.
The cooling and refreshing properties of these delightfu
Summer Beverages cannot be too highly valued. They are
very superior to what are usually sold under these names.
In packets Is. 3d. each.
In- For the convenience of travellers and for ship use, the
whole of the above powders may be had in pint and half-pint
bottles, at 2s. 6d. and is. 6d. each, a small spoonful of which,
mixed with water, produces a delightfAl and refreshing beverage.
JONES'S ESSENCE OF CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
DECOCTION OF RED JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
The high esteem in which Sarsaparilla has of late years been
held by Medical Practitioners, its reputation as a safe and effi-
cacious Domestic Medicine, and its consequently extensive use
among all classes of society, has rendered it one of the most
important remedies of the present age.
This preparation is composed of the finest Jamaica Sarsapa-
rilla imported, and prepared in Vacuo, by which the whole of
its essential properties are retained. The Proprietor can con-
fidently recommend it as one of the most efficient preparations
extant. It is most particularly taken as an alterative and pu-
rifier in the following affections :—Eruption of the Skin,
Pains in the Bones, Ulcerated Sore Throat, Scorbutic Affec-
tions, Local and General Debility, and all diseases arising from
the impure state of the blood.
In bottles, 3s. 6d„ ss. 6d., 10s. 6d., and .€1 Is.
