TZEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES. -
111 The vast increase in the demand for these Cough Lozenges,
and the numerous Testimonials constantly received, fully justify
the Proprietor in asserting they are the best and safest yet
offered to the Public for the cure of the following complaints:—
AS EHMA, WINTER COUGH, HOARSENESS, SHORTNESS
of BREATH, and other PULMONARY MALADIES. Theyhave
deservedly obtained the high patronage of their Majesties the
King of Prussia and the King of Hanover; very many, also, of
the Nobility and Clergy, and of the Public generally, use them,
under the recommendation of sonic of the most eminent of the
Faculty.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL
" St. Paul's Cathedral, 301.11 Nov., 1849.
" Sir,—l have much pleasure in recommending your lozenges
to those who may be distressed with hoarseness. They have
afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely able to
ring from the effects of Catarrh. I think they would be very
useful to Clergymen, Barristers, and Public Orators.—l am, sir,
yours faithfully,
" THOMAS Faaricis, Vicar Choral.

OLDIUDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA,
acknowledged for the last thirty years to be the most effec-
tual remedy produced for restoring the hair and promoting the
growth of whiskers and moustaches, has received recently most
distinguished patronage from the Ladies for the feature it pos-
sesses in not soiling the most delicate headiress or bonnet. For
children it is invaluable, forming the basis of a beautiful head of
hair. In bottles, 3s. Gd., Gs., and Ild. Wholesale and retail, 13,

GAS CHANDELIERS AND BRACKETS.
The increased and increasing use of Gas in Private
Houses has induced WILLIAM S. BURTON to collect from
the various manufacturers all that is new and choice in
Brackets, Pendants, and Chandeliers, adapted to offices, pas-
sages, and dwelling-rooms, as well as to have some designed ex-
pressly for kill 1; these are ON 5110 W over his SIXTEEN
LARGE ROOMS, and present, for novelty, variety, and purity of
taste, an unequalled assortment. They are marked ill plain
figures, at prices proportionate with those which have tended
to make his Establishment the largest anti most remarkable in
the kingdom—viz., from 12s. Gd. (two light) to ICI. 16s.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR
L SILVER.—The Real NICKEL SILVER, introduced twenty
years ago by WILLIAM S. BURTON, when plated by the patent
process of Messrs. Elkington and Co., is beyond all comparison
the very best article next to sterling silver that can be employed
as such, either usefully or ornamentally, as by no possible test
can it be distinguished from real silver.
