DOCTOR THORBURNE HAS REMOVED
TO THE

INSTITUTION FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES
OF THE HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH,
AND BOWELS,
No. 51, ISLINGTON,
BETWEEN CLARE-STREET AND ST. ANNE-STREET.

Attendance EVERY DAY from NINE until TWELVE o'clock.
THE Institutitui for the Cure of Diseases so general and
important as those of the HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH,
and BOWELS, will be found, among ether advantages, to
comprise the following recommendations to extensive notice
and support.
Ist.—it is open every day—and for gratuitous advice to
the Poor, no matter from what Country, Parish, or Religious
denomination they may come ; their claims to attention being
constituted simply and at once by the fact that they are
labouring under ailments for the cure of which they seek
advice.
2nd,—lt is available to the wishes, and will be found to
meet the wants and convenience of respectable Individuals
and Families of the UPPER and MIDDLE CLASSES of the
Commercial and Trading population of Liverpool and its
neighbourhood, when they require the services of a regularly
educated and authorised Physician. Accordingly, to all
such persons, Advice and Attendance may be had on this
reasonable consideration, namely, that the professional remu-
neration or charge will be on a scale suitable to the circum-
stances or rank of the patient. This arrangement will meet
the case of those who cannot afford to give the large fees
usually expected to be paid to a Physician, and will also suit
the condition of others in humbler circumstances whose feel-
ings deter them from seeking the patronage or permission of
Subscribers and others, and then, in addition to loss of time,
applying " as paupers" at the large Hospitals and Dispensa-
ries for Advice act Medicine for nothing.
EM('' THE INSTITUTION FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES
OF TILE HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH, AND BOWELS is open
every day. ADVICE FROM NINE O'CLOCK UNTIL TWELVE
AT NOON. FAMILY ATTENDANCE, AND PATIENTS VISITED
AT THEIR OWN RESIDENCE, AS USUAL.

MILNER'S SAFETY BOXES.

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing protection from
fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Pap* of Ac-
compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible' materials,
that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused-in again in-
viting public notice to their Patent Fire-restpting Deposito-
ries. Having submitted their one-chamberld Boxes, of one
inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prhicipal towns, they
have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac-
tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties;
and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi-
ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and
thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is
capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely
to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit
the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical
science to the subject itenerally, and investigation into the
pretensions of the various means of security in use, their
own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen,
to whom permission of reference is kindly given ,
THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER,
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.,
L. GRAHAM, Erq.,
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.,
VIM. STOCK, Esq.,
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship-
owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further
confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:—
Trial of Mirtetiore'snof Gu
Patent Fire-Resistingnpovderfrom Fireprin,le as a
Protection
Liverpool, June 20th, 1842.
We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner's
Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of
twelve inches external, and six inches internal diameter and
height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and
a packet of Gunpowder.
The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting
of
five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity. of wood, !ind remained
therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which
time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of
intense heat.
Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all
injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se-
vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being
pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline
solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor
occupying the chamber of each cell.
In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was
wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into
coke, and the.bricks upon which the fire was made were
taken out red hot

QCHWEPPE'S SODA and POTASS WATERS, wad
0 AERATED LEMONADE. The continued preference
of the Public for the above preparations, celebrated for their
superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for
the respectful acknowledgments of the Manufacturers, who
beg leave particularly to CAUTION their Friends and Cus-
tomers in general against an imposition continually practised
by unprincipled persons filling ScHwEeez's bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCH WEPPE'S
manufacture. The imitations contain no alkali, and are alto-
gether destitute of those medical qualities which have contri-
buted so materially to establish the credit of the former, and
to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.
None arc genuine without a label, representing the name
of their Firm.

Liverpool, sth August, 1842

j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu-
t, • larly to call the attention of his Friends a-nd the Public
to the undermentioned selection of Preparations.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu-
racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidner. Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of 'time
in all climates.
THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.
Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength, to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms. &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &n. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causincr acid fermentation

VEGETABLE HAIR OIL
