WARRING! RILCIIIITa PARIS BLUR. The marked
superiority of this laundry blue over all others, and the
quick appreriation of its merits by the public, hsve been
attended by the usual regatta, viz., a flood of imitations;
the merit of the latter mainly consists in the ingenuity
exerted, not aimply in imitating the square shape, but
making the general appearance of the wrappers resemble

therefore to caution all buyers to see " Reckitt's Paris

arowd of spectators, but her Royal Highness evidently
did not perceive the efforts of the clog to oven take the train.
