IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
KEARSLEVS ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every lady, having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the
female frame is liable, especially those which, at an early
Period of life, frequently arise from wa 4tif exercise and ge-
neral debility of the system : they crea an appetite, correct
indigestion, remove giddiness and ncr us headache, and are
eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the stomach,
shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart : being per-
fectly innocent, may be used with safety in all seasons and
Climates.
The following is the opinion of Dr. Osborne, an eminent
Practitioner of Dublin, and Physician to Sir Patrick Dunn's,
and the Mercers' Hospital. In one of his recent lectures,
sorted in the Dublin Medical Journal, he makes the fol-
wing remarks on this Medicine :
" THE WIDOW \VsLcn's PlLLS.—These Pills have an
extensive sale, and are in high and long-established repute,
!a an effectual remedy in removing obstructions, &c. in
females. One of them was given to a young lady under my
care, with the desired effect following on the same night;
and three other cases came to my knowledge, in which
Similar result followed their use."
,rlPir It is necessary to inform the Public that KEARS-
'r-Y'S is the only ORIGINAL and GENUINE MEDI-
CINE of this description ever made, and has been prepared
°Y them for more than FIFTY YEARS!! Purchasers are
Particularly requested to remark, that, as a testimony of
authenticity, each Bill of Directions contains an affidavit,
and bears the signature of " C. KEARSLEY," in writing,
and each box is wrapped in white paper.

FAMILY HAIR OIL,
Patronised by Persons of Distinction, and held in the
highest estimation at the Toilet.
It renovates, and produces the finest lustre, even when the
Hair is on the decline or turning gray. It is more nutritious
than other Oils used for the same purpose. Its great utility
renders it of national importance. The testimonials and
kind recommendations of many distinguished personages in
Parliament remove any doubts of its efficacy, and it is the
first and only article for similar use ever sanctioned by Go-
vernment.
The VEGETABLE SOAP is also highly esteemed for its
emollient properties, and has an equal claim to preference,
in preventing the hands chopping, &c. Sold at Is. per
square and 10s. per dozen.—Family Oil, in bottles for the
toilet, is. Gd. and 10s. ; and pot boxes at 25., 3s. Gd., and
ss. each.
The great utility of the Family Oil was satisfactorily
proved on the 10th of April, 1830, in Parliament, when Mr.
Goulburn, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was pleased to
grant the protection sought by the Proprietor.
Orders, addressed to the Proprietor, No. 6, Parker- street
Liverpool, will be duly attended to.

STRICTURE, STONE, GRAVEL, and all Diseases of
the Kidneys and Bladder speedily and effectually Cured
by Dr. YOUNG'S URETII RIC MIXTURE. The efficacy
of this Medicine in the above complaintt .13as been long proved
by its unparalleled success in a practice of many years'
standing, and has induced the presentthoprietor to make it
more generally known. Its object is to supersede the neces-
sity of using the Bougie, which, from frequent use, makes
the passage more susceptible of disease, and frequently brings
on a confirmed case of Diseased Prostrate Gland ; it quickly
removes all Soreness, quiets Irritation, and allays the Inflam-
mation that invariably attends these painful Diseases.

JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particii-
• larly to call the attention of his Friends and 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 unacqwtinted with
the business, and others, have of late years atlimpted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to btspurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable our nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Wateril
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, &e. 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 causing acid fermentation.
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
Lartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,
2s. 6d.

PRIESTLEY' S FURNITURE PASTE.
For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture without labour or
,rouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing every
description of furniture, whatever preparation may have been
previously used for that purpose , it adds a high lustre to
French polish.—Sold in Pots at ls. each, or 3 pots for 2s. 6d.

GENUINE METALLIC LUSTRE.
This article is recommended to Housekeepers for cleaning
all manner of Gold and Silver Plate, Metal Teapots, Pewter
Measures, Brass Fenders, Candlesticks, Stair Rods, Brass
Plates on Doors, Tin Covers, &c. &c.: with half the usual
labour which is generally required with other preparations
the above Lustre leaves a beautiful polish on the Metal. It
will also be found useful in the Stable department, for clean-
ing Brass-mounted Carriage, Gig, or Coach Harness.—Sold
in Squares at 6d. and Is. each.
ESSENTIAL SALT OF LEMONS.
For taking Iron Moulds, Ink Spots, and other Stains, out
of Linen, Muslin, Lace, &c., and for many other useful pur-
poses.—Price ls. per Box, or three Boxes for 2s. 6d.
MUCH ADMIRED ALMOND FLAVOUR.
A few drops of this Flavour added to Custards, Puddings,
Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most delicious
taste of Almonds.—Sold in Bottles, with Directions, Is. 6d.
and 3s.
CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER
A teaspoonful may be taken for a dose three times a day

in any liquid.
NEWLY INVENTED CRYSTALLINE OIL.
