GENTLEMEN,


MR. FRANKS returns his fincere thanks to his Friends and the Public, for their kind and .liberal. encouragement towards his publication of the New- York Directory ; he humbly requefts they may indulgently excufe any errors, inaccuracies, or omiffions, which may ap- pear, and impute them only to the local difadvantages he laboured under, in this firft attempt ; as he intends in the future


( editions, he fhall have the honour of an- nually prefenting them, to have it more in his power to be exact, correct and cir- cumftantial ; as the number of fubfcribers are but few ( which he attributes to a want of knowledge of the utility of this pro- duction, it being the firft of the kind ever attempted in this city ; ) he makes bold to call on the citizens at large, for every in- formation, that they think will prove con- ducive to its future correctnefs. Their directions will be thankfully received and gratefully acknowledged by Mr. FRANKS, at his lodgings, No. 66, Broad-way, or at Mr. KOLLOCK's Printing-Office.


N. B. Mr. FRANKS has ready for Pub- lication, a TREATISE of BOOK-KEEP- ING, digefled for the inland and foreign Trade of America .---- This Work, which he hopes will prove very ufeful, he would willingly fubmit, previous to his putting it to Prefs, to the infpection of the Gen- tlemen of the Mercantile Line, and will confider himfelf much honoured if they favour him with their patronage, as he in- tends laying it before them at their refpec- tive refidences.


The NEW- YORK DIRECTORY, will, in future, be published every twentieth day of May in each Year.

THURBER, WHYLAND & CO.'S


RESTORATIVE WINE OF COCA.


WHAT DR. WM. A. HAMMOND SAYS.


Before the New York Neurological Society, on Tuesday evening, November 2d, Dr. William A. Hammond called attention to the impuri- ties existing in most of the preparations of wine of coca, which vitiated their value :


" I therefore asked a well-known gentleman of this city if he could not prepare a wine of coca which should consist of a good wine and the pure alkaloid. He has succeeded in making such a preparation."


" A wineglassful of this tonic, taken when one is exhausted and worn out. acts as a most excellent restorative; it gives a feeling of rest and relief, and there is no reaction and no subsequent depression. A general feeling of pleasantness is the result. I have discarded other wines of coca and use this alone. It is Thurber, Whyland & Co.'s preparation." (Italics ours.)


"This wine of coca may be taken by the wineglassful, the same as an ordinary wine ; there is no disagreeable taste; in fact, it tastes like a good Burgundy or Port Wine. Taken three times a day before meals, or whenever needed, i. has a remarkable tonic effect, and there is no reaction. The article produces excellent results in cases of depression of spirits ; in hysteria, headache, and in nervous troubles generally, it works admirably. It is a simple remedy, yet efficacious and remarkable in its results."


COCANIZED BEEF, WINE AND IRON.


For Debility and Weakness due to Mal-Nutrition, Dyspepsia, Difficult Assimilation of Food, and Weak Digestive Powers; Anemia, and other Depraved States of the Blood; Hysteria, Spinal Irritation, Loss of Appetite, Chlorosis, and in all cases where a complete assimilation of food is required.
