IMPROVEMENT 1N GENTLEMEN'S HATS.

TITIIEBARN,ST.REET, LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,—I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever
wore, particulai ly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the al-style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.-4 am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. ----, and -I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.

NQTKE.—Fire Pounds Reward upon conviction of an in-
fringement of my Patent.
Simpson's Patent Easy-fitting Hats are on.y had in
Liverpool at No. 6, St. George's-crescent (two doors from the
top of Lord-street), and at 9, Dale-street (opposite Royal Bank
Buildings), and in upwards of one hundred other towns, a list
of which would make this advertisement too long. The Agents
in each place'make.themselves known;

NEW INVENTIOX.--THE NEW F9I:NTAIN PEN.—A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new "fountain pen," just introduced by ltudhall
and .Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean .w.thout any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one din in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by everyone up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour,

- CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE.
—" I believe that the:preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill, Liverpool,) will prove of more value, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough Ina fete minutes ;
and, although'it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see 'Thomson's
Materia Medico, page 175; vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as' prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy; and I fully agree with Sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc-
tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. 11. Brett; Ph. Dr.,
M.R.C.S., late Lecturer, on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru-
dence, tiverpootßoyal infirmary. The balsam•of horehound
_
and aniseed' is prepared-only. by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop-
peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing
sale, agents have, been appointed in all principal towns and
cities. It can be procured whulepl:: from Raimes and,Cc..
