INSTANTANEOUS AND EFFECTUAL CURE
FOR CORNS, BUNIONS, CALOSITIES, NAILS
GROWING INTO THE FLESH, AND EVERY
DISORDER OF THE FEET, WITHOUT CUT-
- TING OR CAUSING THE SLIGHTEST PAIN.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. As Mr. Levi has been in-
formed bg several of his Patients that a person has been
calling on several houses in Liverpool, and representing
himself to some as Mr. Levi, and to others that he was sent
by him, Mr. Levi thinks it but justice to the public, to
acquaint them thal he has no connection with any such pre-
tenders, nor does he attend out of his residence (except by
particular desire), neither will he be responsible for any
accident that is likely to occur by employing such empirics.
Mr. L. begs particularly to direct the attention of those who
may be troubled with Corns, Bunions,£Je., 6-c., to a para-
graph which appeared in the "LONDON MORNING POST,"
of November the 13th, where will be seen the dangerous re-
sults that may occur from unskilful treatment.
MONSIEUR LEVI, CHIROPODIST, from Paris, and
No. 3, CONDUIT-STREET, REGENT-STREET, LONDON,
has the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and Inha-
bitants-of Liverpool and its Environs his FOURTH ANNUAL
PROFESSIONAL VISIT to this town; and, owing to his
numerous engagements in London and Paris, his present stay
will be necessarily short ; an immediate application will there-
fore he desirable.
Mons. L. takes the present opportunity to return his grateful
thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced
during his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that
various arrangements at his establishments in London and
Paris will preclude the possibility of his revisiting this town
for a very long period, so that those who• may require his pro-
fessional.services Should not lose the present favourable oppor-
tunity.
Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short
timeonly, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi-
dence, •

Mons. L. (who has no professional connexion with any Person
whatever)-begs to submit the following Testimonials :
COPIES OF TESTIMONIALS.
From Mervyn Richardson, Esq.
I have muckpleasure in certifying that Mr. Levi extracted
several corns out of my feet eighteen months since, and upon a
thorough examination, I find there is not the least sign of any
others having taken their places, and I have been perfectly free
from pain in consequence.
MERVYN RICHARDSON, Rock Ferry, near Liverpool.

" From Jame* Plumpton, Esq.
I certify that Mons. Levi removed a very troublesome corn
from my foot two years ago, which has not returned. I had
also extracted-this day, a soft corn between the toes, with equal
-skill and without the least pain.

PRIESTLEY'S
COUGH AND ASTHMATICAL DROPS,

FOR INFLUENZA, 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 HOOPING COUGH, 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., 4s. 6d.

Nation of the public in general ; and from the very frequen
and favourable results of this Medicine in the above complaints
the proprietor feels the strongest confidence in recommen di n
them as a safe, mild, and most effective Family Medicine.
To Ladies they are strongly, recommended as an effective
Medicine in cases of General Debility of the Constitution, by

pains in the head, &r. ; and for females, before and after con

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 twenty-four Powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases.
