ELASTIC BOOTS, ELASTIC SHOES, AND ELASTIC GAITERS.

J. SPARKES HALL

Informs Ladies and Gentlemen that he has brought his ELASTIC BOOT to the highest state of perfection; and having recently effected several important improvements in that excellent article, which have rendered it the Easiest, best Fitting, and most elegant Boot ever offered, he has manufactured for the present season a stock of more than 2000 pairs. He begs to announce that this Assortment comprises Single and Double Soles, Treble Soles, and Cork Soles, all made on an entirely new principle, and warranted to be the most durable as well as the most beautiful workmanship. The Shape and Form are peculiarly his own, and, from the extensive patronage he is honoured with, he believes the only true form that has ever been adopted to secure at once both ease and neatness. Every article is, in respect of material, workmanship, fit, and style, the best. A Printed Circular, with full particulars of the prices of the following articles, with instructions for taking measure in the readiest manner, will be forwarded with great pleasure, Free, to any part of the Kingdom. Elastic Boots, Elastic Clogs, and Goloshes for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children, without straps or fastenings; Elastic Shoes, Elastic Ankle Bands, Elastic Beaver Soles, and Elastic Gaiters.

DR LOCOCK'S

PULMONIC WAFERS

RAPID CURE OF ASTHMA OF 14 YEARS' STANDING. From Mr. J. E. Bignell, Hollyhead Road, Wednesbury, and addressed to

Mr. Ladbury there.

Sir-When I had the first box of Dr. Locock's Wafers from you, I was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to which I have been subject now for about fourteen years. I have had the best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford, including two physicians at Birmingham, and one at Wolverhampton, but with no success. My breathing was so very difficult that I expected every inspiration to be my last; as for sleep, that was impossible, and had been so for several weeks.

The first dose (only two small wafers) gave me great relief-the second more so-in short, the first box laid the groundwork for the cure, which only four boxes have effected, and I am now quite well.

(Signed) J. E. BIGNELL.

DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS

J. SCHWEPPE & Co.,
By Royal Appointment,

MANUFACTURERS OF SODA, POTASS, MAGNESIA WATERS, AND ERATED LEMONADE.

LONDON, LIVERPOOL, DERBY, and 65 CASTLE STREET, BRISTOL. So much prejudice has been produced in the public mind by spurious articles, containing not a particle of Alkali, but sold as such, that consumers are earnestly recommended to ask for SCHWEPPE'S, the ORIGINAL INVENTORS, and still by far the largest manufacturers of these invaluable preparations. Each bottle contains the proper proportion of Alkali, scientifically amalgamated by the aid of their machinery, and every genuine Bottle of Soda Water is protected by a red label over the cork, having the name of the Firm on each side, and their Potass, Magnesia Waters, and Lemonade, by labels on the bottles, with the name and address. This precaution is rendered necessary, by unprincipled persons filling Schweppe's bottles with their own composition, and even imitating their labels.

The largest Importers of German Seltzer Water, direct from the Springs.

To be obtained (observing the above caution) of all respectable chemists, wine merchants, Italian warehousemen, confectioners, and leading hotels in town and country.

If it be true that any medical practitioners recommend as respirators articles of non-conducting matter, as cork, charcoal, sponge, or cloth, or of badly conducting metal, like perforated zinc or pewter (plated or gilded), it can only be done from a want of reflection.

SIR JAMES MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.

Prepared under the immediate care of the Inventor, and established for upwards of thirty years by the Profession, for removing BILE, ACIDITIES, and INDIGESTION, restoring APPETITE, preserving a moderate state of the bowels, and dissolving uric acid in GRAVEL and GOUT; also as an easy remedy for SEA SICKNESS, and for the febrile affection incident to childhood it is invaluable. On the value of Magnesia as a remedial agent it is unnecessary to enlarge; but the Fluid Preparation of Sir James Murray is now the most valued by the profession, as it entirely avoids the possibility of those dangerous concretions usually resulting from the use of the article in powder.

Sold by the sole consignees, Messrs. BAILEY & WILLS, of Horseley-fields, Chemical Works, Wolverhampton, and by all wholesale and retail Druggists and Medicine Agents throughout the British Empire, in bottles, 1s., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 5s. 6d., 11s, and 21s. each.

The Acidulated Syrup in Bottles, 2s. each.

N.B.-Be sure to ask for "Sir James Murray's Preparation," and to see that his name is stamped on each label, in green ink, as follows:-"James Murray, Physician to the Lord

antenant."
