The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle sti-
mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and
is, therefore, calculated to afford 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 al-
most 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 apprehen-
sions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave.
It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti-
cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYItIACUM.
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 muscularfibres to their natural and healthy
tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable
degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under certain mo-
difications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species
of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum
makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one
quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collate-
rally, to almost every other ' • in short, the debility of nature
can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for
its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility; its fine
rich stimulating balsamic stomach qualities—its purification
of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the
nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become re-
stored to their proper power and functions. and the fallen
fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and dura-
tion, 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 acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, 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 effi-
cacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually remosed
by its use. _

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas,
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.

Mr. COCKLE, SURGEON, has much pleasure in laying
before his friends and the public, MR. ABERNETHY'S
ESTIMATION of his Antibilious Pills, extracted from a
Letter which that gentleman addressed to him in the year
1824 :
* * *

" I have ordered the usy of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangement
of the functions of that important organ, and connected with
a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken
at all times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by James Coomi, Surgeon Extraor-
dinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAWNE of
HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes, at ls. lid., 25., 9d., and 4s. 6d.

ceed we shall give you convincing proof of our OBJECT AND
DETERMINATION.
It is not our intention, in this address, to convey an im-
pression that we place our claims to your patronage anu sup-
port, on different terms than others in the trade ; but, in
commencing this undertaking, it i Ket juisite for us to state,
WHAT WILL BE, and not WHAT UALLY IS, the state of
the RETAIL TEA TRADE in this ort. That others can sell,
if they choose, on the system of a large trade, small pr(iits,
and quick returns, we do not deny ; that they do not is evi-
dent ; but so long as they uphold the present system of high
prices, so long shall we find AMPLE SCOPE FOR SUCCESSFUL.
and HONOURABLE COMPETITION. -
Next to London only, LIVERPOOL, in the number of its
inhabitants, justly claims the appellation, so often and so ap-
propriately bestowed upon it, that of being the METROPOLIS
of the North of England. The immense population by
which it is surrounded, its commanding and vastly increasing
commercial importance, visited. as it is, weekly by so many
traders and others for the purpose of commerce,. it presents
a position fora FAST-RATE TEA TRADE, conducted on is
principle totally different to ANYTHING THAT HAS EVER
BEEN ATTEMPTED IN THIS TOWN BEFORE, and which has
met with such eminent support in London.
With a view to give this vast population the same advan-
tages as the inhabitants of the Metropolis, we have taken
these EXTENSIVE PREMISES, which, with ample capital and
a competent knowledge of the trade, combined with ex-
perience in the LARGEST TRADES in the kingdom, and being
intimately connected with the most OPULENT ImposTues
and MERCHANTS IN LONDON, we proceed to show on what
grounds we Claim YOUR SUPPORT AND CONFIDENCE.
As we have before intimated, it is a remarkable fact, that
LIVERPOOL presents in no portion cf its commerce such a
scope for public conapelition as in the TEA TRA DE ; and here
we beg to observe, that there is a peculiarity about this trade,
which distinguishes itself from every other. Since the open-
ing of the trade with China, there has been no proper guaran-
tee as to the quality of the article imported and admitted for
CONSUMPTION. Formerly all Teas were tested by authorized
parties, appointed expressly for that purpose; but now the
system is totally changed. It is IMPORTED; put up to public
Auction, Sold at whatever PRICE IT WILL REALIZE, so as to
be brought into IMMEDIATE CONSUMPTION, a great portion
of which qualities, in former times, would have been de-
stroyed or condemned as unfit for use; therefore accounting
for the universal complaint among families of the difficulty
in procuring a GOOD SERVICEABLE TEA at a MODRRATE
RATE.

The majority of the country retail dealers, under tt
system, were unacquainted with the tasting of Tees, an
it to their broker or wholesale dealer. Then had they
guarantee as to the QUALITY ; but now, 'almost every (
throughout the kingdom places his own standard of jrid
first, thus accounting, in a great measure,
quantity and heterogeneous mass of spurious
palmed on the public, which does not possess either the re-
quisite STRENGTII Or!FLAVOUR.

for the

In confirmation of our above statement as to the quantity
of damaged andspurious Tea that gets into the hands of the
retail dealers, we refer you to the sale of a CARGO OF TEA,
by the ship " Mary Elizabeth," that was wrecked on enter-
ing this port in the early part of last year. It is a notorious
fact, that the whole of the cargo was so materially damaged,
as, at one time, to be very doubtful whether it could, under
any CIRCUMSTANCES, BE BROUGHT INTO CONSUMPTION.
It was landed, warehoused, and after being kiln-dried,
brought to PUBLIC AUCTION; and a part of which, to our
certain knowledge. was bought and absolutely RETAILED BY
DEALERS in this town from whose REPEATED PROFESSIONS
the public had a right to expect a " STANDARD QUALITY."
As a guarantee to those parties who may think proper to fa-
vour us with their support, we shall, in our selections, care-
fully abstain from admitting into our stock Tea of a doubtful
and precarious character; hence, by strictly and uniformly
adhering to one principle of conducting_ business, and our
perceiving the little advantages you have derived from the
opening of the Trade to the East, WE SEE THE WAY
CLEARLY POINTED OUT FOR US, and we feel CONFIDENT OF
SUCCESS.

TEA, the prime article in which we deal, is rapidly ad-
vancing in general estimation ; not only as an agreeable ali-
mentary, but also as a mildy exhilarating beverage. In
proof of this, we may adduce one or two particulars connected
with its early history in this country, which will put the fact
of its immense and rapid grow;h in rustic FAVOUR beyond
dispute.

In a memorandum from the Diary of Mr. Pepys, Secre-
tary to the Admiralty, dated September 25, 1669, he states,
" The East India Company, in 1661, being desirous of mak-
ing a present to the King of SOMETHING VERY RARE,
bought two pounds and two ounces of Tea for that purpose,
at the cost of 20s. per lb. ; and in 1666, they presented the
King with twenty-two pounds and a quarter, for which they
paid fifty shillings per lb." In this same year, history tells
us that " Tea sold in London at Sixty Shillings per pound ;
but the first importation of Tea into England, by the East
India Company, was made in 160, not direct from China,
but from Bantam, where they maintained a factory : they
only brought two canisters, containing one hundred and for-
ty-three pounds and a half." Prom that date to the present,
the consumption has gone on regularly, and progressively in-
creasing to the'present day.
It is well known, the TEA TRADE, until the year 1834, was
a complete monopoly, enjoyed by the East India Company
alone ; and, as an ingenious author has well observed, " the
spirit of monopolists is narrow, lazy, and oppressive :" 30 it
abundantly showed itself in this case, as is proved by the fact,
that the people of this country now pay less for their Tea by
the enormous difference of full 25 PER CENT„ than they did
under the costly machinery of the East India Company.
But though the salutary change from monopoly to free
trade has been in operation SEVEN YEARS, we do not see
that this vast population has, as yet, reaped the FULL AD-
VANTAGE that might have been expected ; or, in other words,
that GOOD QUALITIES and LOW PRICES are combined to that
extent which was anticipated. Therefore we purpose giving
our friends the full benefit of the change, by adapting our
system to the times ; and with a view to convince you of our
ability, and, much more, our inclination, we shall undevi-
atingly taste our Teas by infusion BEFORE WE PURCHASE,
which is the only way of selecting or ascertaining the quality
with any degree of certainty.
By reference to the official returns of the past year we
rind, that the average price of the great bulk of TEA sold in
this country, has not realized a higher price than 4s. 2+d.
per lb., duty included, which would have been found suitable
and agreeable to the taste of the MAJORITY OF CONSUMERS,
and ought to have been SOLD at. 4s. 6d. per lb. So also it
will be observed, that fine Teas have only realized, at the
public auction, 4s. 9d., including duty, varying ld. or 2d.
per lb. occasionally as the market became excited. It is true,
some few fancy kinds have sold at higher prices ; but they
are of such a description that are not suitable to the palate,
OP for the consumption, of the GENERALITY OF FAMILIES ;
and we here observe, A REMUNERATING PROFIT can be ob-
tained by its being sold at ss. per lb.

Having laid before you the sale cost of the leading descrip-
tions of Teas consumed, we have clearly proved that it is in
our power to sell the BEST BLACK TEA that can be required
for any purpose or by any family at ss. per lb. We appeal
to the experience of families, if many are not still paying 65.,
75., and Bs. for Teas which ought to be sold full 25 per cent.
less price. _ _ _

We have clearly demonstrated that a concern starting with
principles based on a SMALL PROFIT and QUICK RETURN,
and that of giving the public the full advantage of the open-
ing of the Trade to the East, has become a desideratum, few
require to be told that PRICE ALONE, unless accompanied by
QUALITY, is a mere deception. We can only remove an im-
pression of this kind, by earnestly and respectfully soliciting
a " TRIAL." Without this, no one can fairly determine
by this test we are content to abide, and shall not ask a con-
tinuance of your favours, if not found TO DESERVE THEM.
We now proceed to show you at what prices we are pre-
pared to supply you for READY MONEY, according to the
present state of the market; with our .remarks on EACH
KIND.
