IMPROVEMEAT 1N GENTLEMEN'S HATS.

TITHEB.A.RN-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN —I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the moot comfortable hat I ever
wore, particularly. when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the old 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.—l 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.
-- House, Cheltenham. (Signed)

NOTICE.—Fire Pounds Reward upon conviction of an in-
fringement of my Patent.
Simpson's Patent Easy-fitting Hats are one 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.

PLAYING CARDS.—Hitherto the keenly contested whist.
cribbage, too, &c., exhausted the use of the playing card.
Now, however, the beautiful, instructive, and chaste designs
imparted to their exterior, teach the form, colour, and growth
of plants which have enriched the commerce of Great Britain.
Those manufactured by De la Rue and Co., are peculiarly rich
in design.•and can be had in great variety at Benson and Mal-
lett's, commercial stationers, 10. Castle-street.

CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE.
-"I bet iere that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill, Liverpool,)-mill prove of name value, in Can's of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few 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
Jlateria 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 udmirable remedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr.,
M.R.C:S.,late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru-
dence, Liverpool' Royal 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 wholesale from Rairaes and Co..
Edinburgh and York, from Sutton and Co., London, West-
macott, Manchester, and wholesale and retail from the manu-
facturer, .as above. --Price, ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

There is to be an exhibition of Stothard's works in
the spring.
M. Thiers will publish, in the beginning of December,
his eighteenth volume, and he announces his intention
of extending the work to twenty volumes. The "His-
tory of the Consulate and the Empire," strictly speaking.,
is complete in the seventeen volumes already published,
but the author desires to complete the " History of
Napoleon," and the three new volumes, which will, as
it were, form an appendix, are to contain the—
eighteenth, the history of the .First Restoration and the
Congress of Vienna ; the nineteenth, the sojourn in
Elba and the return of Napoleon; the twentieth volume,
Waterloo and St. Helena. The last volumes are
promised to be ready in the course of 1861.—Athenom
