THE STUDIOUS AND SEDENTARY.

BUTLER'S COOLING APERIENT POW

DERS,-produce an extremely refreshing Effervescing Drink, preferable to Soda, Seidlitz, or Magnesia Water, and at the same time A MILD AND COOLING APERIENT, peculiarly adapted to promote the healthy action of the Stomach and Bowels, and thereby prevent the recurrence of Constipation and Indigestion, with all their train of consequences, as Depression, Flatulence, Acidity or Heartburn, Headache, Febrile Symptoms, Eruptions on the Skin, &c. &c.; and by frequent use will obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, and other violent medicines, which tend to debilitate the system. When taken after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects are altogether avoided. In warm climates they will be found extremely beneficial, as they prevent accumulation of Bile, and do not de

bilitate.

Prepared, and sold in 2s. 9d. boxes,-and 10s. 6d. and 20s. cases, by BUTLER, CHEMIST TO HIS MAJESTY, No. 73, PRINCE'S STREET, EDINBURGH; and (authenticated by the Preparer's name and address, in the Label affixed to each box and case,) may be obtained of all the principal Druggists and Booksellers throughout the United Kingdom.

Of whom may also be procured, BUTLER'S CARBONATED EFFERVESCING HARROWGATE SALTS,-which contain all the solid ingredients of the celebrated Springs of Harrowgate, with the very important addition of the Vol. Gases in an immediate state of disengagement, by the addition of pure water, and altogether will be found a valuable substitute, proper for those Invalids who are unable to reside at Harrowgate. The Water of the Harrowgate Springs is very successfully used in cases of Scurvy, Scrofula, and Bilious and Gouty Affections; and it has, in particular, acquired great celebrity for the removal of the most complicated and obstinate Cutaneous Eruptions. The Salts are sold in 4s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. Bottles.
