Transcribed by Alison Kilpatrick. Geo. Sept. 23, 1792: The Hearts of Oak at Raphoe Transcribed from the 21 March 1793 edition of the Calcutta Gazette newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Dublin, October 6. By a private letter from Raphoe [co. Donegal] we learn that, on Sunday evening the 23d of last month, during the time of divine service, a large body of men, amounting in number to more than 1,200, and much better armed than could possibly be expectd, marched in to that town in martial array; and after parading through it for a considerable time, to the great terror of the more peaceable inhabitants, at length made a public proclamation that they were determined not to pay any tithes in future; and then departed without committing any act of violence. They called themselves The Hearts of Oak, and promised to return in greater force on the following Sunday, when they would more explicitly avow their intentions, and more decidedly explain their demands. =======================

Transcibed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 "SULPHONLINE LOTION."—An external Means of CURING SKIN DISEASES. There is scarcely any eruption but will yield to "Sulpholine" in a few days, and commence to fade away even if it seems past cure. Ordinary pimples, redness, blotches, scurf, roughness, vanish as if by magic; whilst old, enduring skin disorders, that have plagued the sufferers for years, however deeply rooted they may be, "Sulpholine" will successfully attack them. It destroys the animalculæ which cause these unsightly, irritable, painful affections, and always produces a clear, healthy, natural condition of the skin.

Transcibed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 The Cumberland Bituminous Fluid & Pills These Preparations have excited great admiration and surprise, in effecting speedy, and often permanent relief, in the most inveterate and deplorable attacks of Rheumatism, Pains of the Back, Joints, and Kidneys, and all Rheumatic affections. Numberous testimonies are upon record, of cures being performed by them, when every other means had been tried without affording any relief, and the sufferer under these excruciating maladies, had given up all hopes of being relieved. The Fluid is sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., and 7s, 6d, each; and the Pills in boxes at 2s 9d, each. .....

Transcibed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 Of Whom May be Had. The INFANT'S RESTORATIVE, so justly admired for the Bowel Complaints and Weakening Diseases of early Infancy, as distinguished by the different names of Gripes, Windy Cholic, Convulsions, Inward Fits, Hives, Mesenteric Obstructions, enlarged Belly, Wasting, Rickets, and for most complaints to which Infants are subject. This Medicine, unlike most advertised remedies for children, such as GODFREY'S Cordial. DALBY'S, &c., does not contain Laudanum, Poppy, or other stupefying drug, but may be used from the moment of birth, as the palladium of health, to strengthen and guard against the numerous indispositions to which this state of existence is so much exposed. It has already had the blessings of thousands of mothers, who to it owe the preservation of their offspring, in the most forlorn situation of disease. Sold in Bottles at 1s 1 1/2d each. .....

Transcibed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 Seasonable Advice to Parents &c., &c. Spring is the Season pregnant with the germs of life, and the human body feels this equally with the rest of nature. At this season the disease of Worms is most liable to affect Children as well as grown persons, and there is non productive of more serious and distressing consequences. They destroy the Appetite, weaken the Organs of Digestion, deprive the Body of its nourishing principle, and their certain consequences are Paleness, Emaciation, a Stoppage of Growth, and in the end Consumption, or other lingering Complaints, which often terminate in death. RAMSAY'S Medicated Spice Nuts offer the most certain Remedy for Worms of every description, safe in their composition, powerful in their effect, and agreeable to the taste of children. They perform at the same time a twofold office, by eradicating the complaint, and cleansing and purifying the habit. In order to put so useful a Medicine within the reach of all classes, they are sold in packets (containing several doses) at only 9d, or boxes equal to three packets, at 2s each. RAMSAY'S Medicated Spice Nuts are prepared only by George RAMSAY, Apothecary, Penrith. (formerly of Apothecaries' Hall, London.) and Sold Wholesale by Barclay and sons, 95, Fleet-Market, Butler, Cheapside, Edwards, St. Paul's Church-Yard, London; and Retail by GIBSON, Printer, SAWDEN, Druggist, Whitehaven; KIRKCOUNEL, DIXON, Workington; PORTER, Maryport; BAILEY, Bookseller, SCOTT & BRAGG, Druggist, Cockermouth; HODGSON, Allonby; ISMAY, Booksellers, DODGSON, Druggist Wigton; Hogarth, Keswick, and by most of the Druggists and Medicine Dealers throughout the Country.
