Cat:- tion.—As nu* ions counterfeits are selling in petty shops. and, t ► deceive, have imitated the Russian Eagle on the sbew bills and covers, purchasers will therefore be particular in observing, taat each bottle of the Original Russian Oil h is a label on the ontsitle wrapper, signed in Russian gold ink, " Mochrikufsky and Prince ;" any without that signature are counterfeits. (Attics and Gentlemen going to Watering-places ought not to neglect, after bathing, to use the Russian Oil, as it prevents the gencr..l case of the water occasioning the hair to fall otf and be come , hided.
