BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

FAIRBANKS' WEIGHING MACHINES,
with or without
POOLEY'S NEW PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS,
adapted for Shops, Wharfs, Roads, and Railways.
HENRY POOLEY AND SON,
27, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
CONTINUE THE
SOLE MAKERS UNDER THE PATENT.
Some of their advantages are—
I.—Economy in Price; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent.
ll.—Economy in Time and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied in weighing is entirely saved.
lll.—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or
Scale; no fixtures are required for suspension; no room is oc-
cupied by weights.
IV.—Economy in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe-
riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their
bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo-
ment of ascertaining the weight.
As a Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads,
aid for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pa.
culiarly adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only
fifteeninches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in
the office ; it is more exact in its indications than any of the
old kinds Of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of
FAIRBANKS' MACHINES,

OF
POOLEY'S MANUFACTURE,
has induced many imitations, having a professed and specious
resemblance, at a low price. To guard the Public from imposi
tion, and the invention from losing its high standing by the
hands of incompetent makers,
E TUE MACHI
IS NOW OFFERED AT PR
ICES FULLYNE AS LOW AS THE
IMITATION,
Thus placing it within the reach or every Trader.
MESSRS. POOLEY AND SON
are Makers to the Hon. Board of Ordnance, and by special
appointment to the London and North-Western, the Midland,
and other leading Railway Companies.
Ironmongers and the Trade supplied on liberal terms.

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY,

ESTABLISHED 1846,
27, WHITECHAPEL, LIVERPOOL,

FOR the reduction of Fractures and Dislocations of
the Bones, (BONE SETTING,) and the cure of Cancer,
Scrofula, Scurvy, Leprosy, White Swellings, Ulcers, Fistula,
&c.

Surgeon.—J. S. TAYLOR, M.R.C.S., L.A.C., Prizeman of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, London, in the Session 1843-4, &c.,
who may be consulted daily from 9 to 3, and 6 to 9 ; and on
Sundays from 10 to 2.
The following case will illustrate the success of the treatment
adopted _ _

"James Pollard, aged 20 years, residing at 65, Preston-street,
had suffered from a most inveterate scrofulous complaint of
the head from the early age of four years ; his head was a
complication of such accumulated disease, so loathsome to the
sight, so offensive to the smell, and altogether so repulsive,
that those who were under the necessity of attending upon him,
performed that service with reluctance. He had been under
the care of different gentlemen of the medical profession, com-
bining all the skill and talent of this neighbourhood. He was
also a patient for ten months in the Liverpool Infirmary, and
six months at the Dispensary: but there the combined skill of
the most eminent of the faculty was defeated, as the individual
exertions had before been. As a last effort he was placed under
the care of Mr. Taylor, who succeeded in effecting a perfect
cure, and he is now well, healthy, clean, and strong, and likely
to have a good bead of hair.

THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE EVIDENCE that
can be given in relation to the
HEALING QUALITIES
of
HOLLINGSWORTH'S

AMERICAN INDIAN SUGAR-COATED PILLS
is a statement of cures effected by their use. Read the follow-
ing:—
" To Messrs. Pearson & Co., 110, London-road, Liverpgol.—
Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in making you acquainted
with the great benefits I have realised in the use of Hollings-
worth's American Indian Sugar-coated Pills. For six months
I had been afflicted with severe pains in my side, stomach, and
back, attended also with great loss of appetite. In the hope of
alleviating my sufferings, I applied to several medical advisers,
tried a variety of means, and spent much money, but all to no
good purpose, for notwithstanding all the medicines I took, I
still got worse ;f and to such a state of weakness was I reduced,
that it was with great difficulty I could walk up stairs. My
stomach so loathed my food, that I became extremely weak
and hopeless, and expected not to live to see another Christmas-
day. rovidentially I noticed an advertisement in the Liver-
pool Mercury, describing the renovating properties of your
palatable Pills ; I procured a box at your establishment, and
made a trial by taking a dose morning and evening for about
two weeks, according to the printed directions ; and now I am
happy in stating publicly, that the use of the Pills has removed
my distressing pains, and fully restored my appetite, so that I
may say I have risen from near death's door. ny person
calling at my residence may have every information. Although
the time is so short since I first commenced taking your medi-
cine, I find my strength so increased that I can attend to my
domestic affairs with pleasure. I mean to take a dose of Pills
daily until I feel not a vestige of my late distressing complaint
remains. You are at liberty to make this public, and use it in
any way you think proper, for the benefit of my fellow-sufferers.
Hoping all that are afflicted as I have been may use and realise
the same benefits from your medicine, I remain, yours grate-
fully, " ELIZABETH WRIGHT.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN SUGAR-COATED PILLS

carry off all impure matter, purge the bowels and all the fluids,

cause a
FREE AND HEALTHY CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD,
give tone to the stomach, liver, lungs, and every organ of the
human body, and thus prevent, alleviate, and
CURE COMPLAINTS OF EVERY KIND,
because
THEY STRIKE AT THE ROOT OF DISEASE,
and remove the cause : they cannot be taken according to di-
rections without decided benefit. Being enveloped with a
coating of sugar perfectly disguises the taste of the medicine,
and they are so agreeable that children will take them with
pleasure.—Sold Wholesale and Retail by
