FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH, &c
WORMS are the cause of many internal Afflictions,
which vary so much in their effects that they may be mis-
taken by the most eminent Physician, and prove equally fatal to the
Constitutions of Adults and Children, though the latter more ex-
tensively sufrer from their destructive ravages. Their most usual
symptoms are Fits, Pains in the Stomach, Side, and Head, Loss of
Appetite, and pale, languid, and emaciated appearance in the
Patient. The extraordinary efficacy of CIIING'S PATENT
WORM LOZENGES In all such Complaints, as well as Ob-
structions in the Bowels. and every Disorder where opening or
cleansing Physic is required, is so universally known, and has been
publicly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and rank
in society, that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their peculiar
virtues.

ADUCHESS and several Ladies of Distinction had a
good head of Hair, without a sinfle grey, by using con-f
sttntly for years the Original Thick RUSSIAOIL, but have os
late been persuaded to use other Oils, and after using a few week
the found the hair began to turn grey, and have taken slain to use
the Original Thick Russia Oil, has changed the hair again to its
natural colour, and have declared in future will use no other
article for the hair, as they have now experienced the Original
Thick Russia Oil is the only preserver for the hair.
To convince Nobility the above is a fact, the Proprietor has a
letter from the Duchess of Rutland, where her Grace mentions,
from experience, the Original Thick Russia Oil has preserved
her hair, and having trial other Oil, has found it hurt the hair;'
in short, the Royal Family, Nobility, and Ladies and Gentlemen,
will not have a hair turn grey or fall off by using the original thick
Russia Oil, as through the aromatic oils it is prepared with makes
it the wholsomeat and best article for preserving and promoting the
hair of Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children, and if used constantly
not a hair will fall off or turn grey, and is such a nourisher to the
Hair, that if it has began to turn grey, will restore it again to its
natural colour. Is the pleasantest for Ladies to dress their own or
false hair ; will make it always look elegant, soft, glossy, and will
curl beautifully any way ; clears the scurf, and keeps the Head and
Hair clean, and by using it regularly for a few months, will restore
the Hair on tbe bald part, if the least signs of roots are remaining,
has been proved by hundreds.
A PRINCE is proud to acknowledge the favour of his Gracious
Majesty of Great Britain, in sending for six bottles of his cele-
brated Russia Oil. It ought really to be generally known ; the
principal Phyaicians have recommended those who wear false Hair
to rub their heads often with the Russia Oil, as through the aro-
matic ingredient it is prepared with is wholesome and refreshing to
the Head.

Observe, Mr. Marshall and other respectable Court Hair-dressers
will recommend no other article for the Hair but Prince's original
thick Russia Oil, as they have experienced it is the best for dress-
ing, preserving, and promoting the hair, but there are several
Hair-dreuers, when Ladies and Gentlemen bare their hair dressed
by them, they recommend Bears' Grease, or other Oils for the
Hair, although they know it is a humbug.
Caution.—lt is well known in Russia, that Bears' Grease is too
harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and fall o 6; this
is well known, as the Emperor Alexander, and persons of distinc-
tion, lost their hair at an early age through using Bears' Grease;
therefore, whoever recommends Bears' Grease for the hair must do
it from unprincipled motives. But Prince's celebrated original
thick Russia Oil is warranted not to contain any Bears' Grease
whatever, but prepared with the choicest aromatic oils. Ask for
Prince's Russia Oil. Ihe ounce bottle five shillings ; a large
bottle, containing five ounces, one pound, which ix a saving.
