MR. LEWIS

RESPECTFULLY informs the Public that he receives Patients, of either sex, labouring under mental or nervous diseases, into his Establishment, on terms which cannot fail to meet the approbation of persons desirous of placing their friends, who may be so circumstanced, in so comfortable and pleasing a retreat.

The well known beauty and variety of the Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, and the entire adaptation of the House and Premises to the purposes of an Asylum, render an elaborate description unnecessary; suffice it to say, there is everything that can be desired of this nature.

The Proprietor resides in and conducts the Establishment with properly qualified Assistants; the female department is under the superintendence of Mrs. and Miss LEWIS, who devote all their time to the health and comfort of the patients, and whose qualifications in this respect are well known in Birmingham and its neighbourhood.

Dr. EVANS is the consulting Physician. Mr. FREER and Mr. HEELEY, Surgeons, one of whom visits the Patients daily.

The situation is extremely desirable, the Vauxhall Station of the Grand Junction Railway being at the Lodge Gates, and the Railway itself bounding the Premises.

TO LADIES VISITING BIRMINGHAM:--

AT this House, (conducted upon the most equitable principles, and established for a long time with yearly increasing patronage,) the old system of trading is adopted; the price of each article being marked in plain figures, from which no deviation is ever allowed.

Its claim upon the patronage of the Public, is the undeviating cheapness at which all articles, whether of British, Continental, or Eastern manufacture are offered to Purchasers.

The Inhabitants of the neighbouring counties, who make their purchases in Birmingham, will at all times find a large and carefully chosen Stock of the most substantial, well-manufactured

SILKS, SHAWLS, FURS,

BLANKETS, FLANNELS, COUNTERPANES,

RIBBONS,

GENUINE IRISH LINENS AND LAWNS.

Where purchases are made by Gentlemen, or other Persons, for Friends in the country, which fail to give satisfaction, the money is invariably returned, excepting where an article is lessened in value, by being separated from the piece.

R. SIMS,

(TEN YEARS ASSISTANT TO MR. ENGLISH, COLMORE ROW,)

SURGEON DENTIST,

NO. 13,

_UNION PASSAGE_, _NEW-STREET_,

BIRMINGHAM,

Returns his sincere acknowledgments to the Inhabitants of Birmingham and its vicinity, for the liberal support that has been conferred upon him since his commencing Practice, and trusts that his having had Ten Years' experience with Mr. English, during which he had nearly the whole of the Mechanical Department entrusted to his care, will still entitle him to that support and patronage which has hitherto been awarded to him.

In consequence of some unskilful pretenders having put themselves forward to public notice as adepts in the above art, he thinks it necessary to state that he never ties in teeth, which is the most that these pretenders can ever accomplish; his superior Gold Plates never in any instance require the painful and most injurious operation of tying in; and he assures them they will wear more years than the spurious bone teeth, which they put forth to the public, will last months, at a less charge, and with greater comfort to the wearer.

FEES.

Spectacles of every description expeditiously and neatly repaired. Pebbles or Glasses set in a few minutes.

RICHARD FARMER,
Manufacturer,

With the greatest deference submits to the attention of his Friends and the Public the subjoined Documents, as flattering Testimonies of the high estimation in which the above very superior and much approved Articles are held:--

_From_ SIR JOHN CONROY, _Secretary to_ HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

THE DUCHESS OF KENT.

"Sir John Conroy is honoured with the DUCHESS OF KENT'S command to
acquaint Mr. Farmer, that he has permission to use Her Royal
Highness's Name and Arms, as Manufacturer of Permanent Elastic Spring
Hygeian Beds to Her Royal Highness.

"Malvern, Sept. 13, 1830."

"Sir John Conroy is to acknowledge the receipt of the Bed and
Mattress of Mr. R. Farmer's invention, which he has made for the
PRINCESS VICTORIA; and Sir John is commanded by the DUCHESS OF KENT
to express Her Royal Highness's highest approval of the principle of
his Mattresses, Cushions, &c.

"Kensington Palace, Dec. 17, 1830.

"_Mr. Richard Farmer_, _&c. &c._"

_From_ CONGREVE SELWYN, Esq. _Surgeon of the Ledbury Dispensary_.

"Mr. CONGREVE SELWYN, Surgeon of the Ledbury Dispensary, begs to
offer his Testimony of the value of Mr. Farmer's invention of his
Elastic Mattresses and Cushions. The one he has sent to Mr. Selwyn
answers all the purposes for an Invalid, and is particularly
serviceable where the patient suffers from hectic fever and night
perspirations.

"Ledbury, May 2, 1834.

"_Mr. Richard Farmer_, _&c. &c._"

_From_ SIR WILLIAM B. CAVE, Bart.

"Stretton, Atherstone, July 22, 1835.

"Sir WM. B. CAVE has much satisfaction in informing Mr. Richard
Farmer, that the Elastic Steel Spring Bed which he purchased from Mr.
F. has fully answered every expectation he had formed of it. Sir. W.
C. lay upon it for five months without ever being able to be moved in
the least from it, and for the last six months has not been removed
from it for more than two hours at a time, and it is now as perfect
in the elasticity and strength of the springs as when he received it
from Mr. Farmer. Sir W. Cave's weight is sixteen stone and upwards.
Dr. Palmer, of Birmingham, who has been in the habit of attending Sir
W. Cave for many years, gave it as his opinion, that had he been
lying on a bed of any other description, the consequences would have
been very serious.
