TIIE 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, &o. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to
.eissenses, &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 causing acid fermentation.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ
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 Seidlit: 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.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.
VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.
_ _

A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all
tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,
2s. 6d.

TO PERSONS IN THE

BRITISH EMPIRE WHO SPEAK OR
ACQUIRE THE FRENCH LANGUAG_
Y E COURRIER DE L'EUROPE, BOHAIN'S cRENTCH
.11-4 NEWSPAPER, forming at once a Weekly Journal and a
permanent work, which for two years has met with the
greatest success, publishes every Saturday a complete digest
of all the papers printed in France, whether Political, Lite-
rary, Scientific, Artistical, or Judiciary. To an Englishman,
LE COE BRIER DE L'EUROPE offers the only medium by
which any degree of perfection can be attained in the French
Language, since by a newspaper alone can he become ac-
quainted with the phrases of the day, the actual diction, or
the idiomotical caprices as they arise. The contents of each
number are as follows :—Political Department : 1. The Bul-
letin of the week, the events of which are reviewed and com-
mented on ;-2. All articles, in full, transcribed from the
French Papers, which can possibly interest a reader on this
side of the Channel ;-3. Maritime and Colonial Intelligence,
and the Obituary of the Week;--d. Law Department, re-
porting all trials before the Courts of Assize, the Correctional
and General Police, the Civil Courts, &c., &c. ;-5. Literary
Department, presenting all the most interesting works pub-
lished during the preceding week by the most talented authors
of France, complete, whether Romances, Novels, Tales,
Sketches, Poems, or the brilliant Feuilletons peculiar to
France ;-6. Articles on Sciences and the Fine Arts, Inven-
tions, Discoveries, and, especially, a detailed account of the
proceedings of the Academie des Sciences as they occur;-
7. Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, Horse and Cattle
Breeding, and General Statistics ;-8. Theatrical Gossip,
and a Review of all Pieces performed for the first time in
Paris ;—Courrier de Londres, Feuilleton on the sayings and
doings of that capital by the Viscomtesse de Malleville ;-
10. Facts and Scraps, Incidents and Anecdotes, informa-
tion as to the Bourse de Paris, and the other Money Mar-
kets of Europe, Correspondence, Advertisements, &c. &c.
Thus those who read LE COURRIER DE L'EuROPE on the
Saturday become as well acquainted with what occurs in
France as if they were domesticated in Paris itself. Its
editor, M. VICTOR BOHAIN, was editor of the celebrated
Figaro, under the Restoration, and on the Revolution of
1830 was appointed Prcfet of the Department La Charente.
Every number contains the substance of an Bvo volume, and
is well printed on fine paper.
Subscription, paid in advance, £1 6s. per annum ; 13s.
for 6 months, or 6s. 6d, per quarter ; separate numbers 6d.
each, stamped for Post, and circulating free in all the colo-
nies of the British Empire. It will be forwarded, on receipt
of a Post-office order, by the Publisher, 10, Wellington-
street, Strand ; or any Booksellers or News Agent in the
United Kingdom or elsewhere ; published every Saturday,
at 2 o'clock, p.m.
LE COURRIER DE L'EuRoPE, as may be ascertained by
the Stamp Returns, having an extensive circulation, and
among the highest classes almost exclusively, will be found a
most advantageous medium for advertisements, which are
received at the Office, 10, Wellington-street, Strand.
N.B. The editor begs to call the particular attention of
persons residing in those countries now visited every fortnight
by the Transatlantic Steamers, to the COURRIER DE L'Eu-
ROPE, presenting a more perfect resume of the week's news
than is to be found in any other paper, and as being on that
account preferable for the inhabitants of the colonies to the
massy details of the daily papers.

MILK PUNCH ROYAL.
MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER
MAJESTY.
_____

THIS unique and neetarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table
THE GENTLER SEX ,
may not disdain to
ALTY siP, the more so as
ROY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wisd," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by aye.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,”
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
Sold, at 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen
in quarts, by B. HARAM, Wine, Spirit, Ale, and Porter
Merchant, 42, Chapel-street, who is appointed SOLE AGENT
or the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Staffordshire,
by Mr. Hudson, of Chichester, the Manufaeturer of Milk
Punch to the Queen, by appointment.
