I „NUM:ITS CELEIMATED RUSSIA OIL is now
1 so improved with an extra valuable ingredient, through which
it has made it the greatest preserver and promoter to the hair : if
used constantly, not a hair will fall off or turn grey : it is such a
nourisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey, it will
restore it to its natural colour by rubbing it ftequently into the
mots, as hundreds have experienced who have used it regularly. It
is sure to clear the scurf, from infancy to old age, and when dress-
ing with it, will always keep the head and hair clean and beauti-
ful, and in curl. ‘Vill surely restore the hair on bald places, it
there is the lent sign of ruots ; but if persons arc bald,and the toots
are entirely gone, it is against nature that any article can restore it;
and if persons preten& to restore hair when the roots are gone, by
any article whatever, it is a falsity. Persona who have begun to
get bald ought to be particular to use the liusaia Oil daily, or at
the least every other day, as there must be &complaint in the scalp,
which may go further, and carry off the hair entirely, if neglected,
which has often been the case. Even Medical lientkmen of the
Medical Hall, who have analysed Prince's Russia Oil, have pub-
lished in the " Gazette of Health." No. Ili, that the discover y is a
great credit to the proprietor, and is superior to any other Oil for
e hair, and will do in cases of baldness and weakhair what can
possibly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Medical
Gentlemen have also analysed another Oil, which is daily puffed in
the Papers as used by Emperors. Kings, Dukes, &c., and have
published in the " liszette of Health," No. 12, that on examining
the ingredients of this grand Oil, they find it contains only com-
mon Oil, coloured and perfumed ; therefore, it cannot be compared
to the Russia Oil as a nourisher to the hair. There are petty per-
firms, hair-dressers and others, who melt bullocks' fat, and put
it in pots and perfume it, end take in the public by pretending to
sell them Bears' 41;rease ; but it is well known that Rears' tireasse is
too harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and fall off
The truth of this is well known to every one who knows the Empe-
ror Alexander, as he lost his hair at an early age; an I many per-
sons of distinction in the North also lost their hair at an early age,
through using Bears' Grease. In short, in Russia, and other parts
of the North, where the Rears are, it is found from experience that
Mar.' 11.1rea.‘e is too hadli for the hair;. and whoever reeonimends
it in this country for the hair, must do it for imposition, or must
be ignorant of its injuring the hair; but Prince's l'elebrated Russia
Oil is mixed with the must nourishing oils in Europe, and it is
always like a jelly : and it is proved by every site who has given it
a fair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pro-
motes the hair.

It is no wonder that Ladies and Gentlemen have complained of
late of the Russia Oil not being of service to the hair, as they have
found out that unprincipled persons have sold them counterfeits.
Ladies and gentlemen will be particular, as impostors in Great Bri-
tain, Franco, and different parts of the Contino.t, have made the

•` It was during the years of a dreary and hopeless exile, that his
mind, whose element was action, whose health depended on inces-
sant and boundless exertion, left to prey upon and eat into itself, as
the rust corrodes the neglected or disused brand, sought to beguile
the hours of sorrowful and bitter recollection, by living for a little
on the past, and dictating the Memoirs of which we propose to ren-
der some account. This work bears impressed on it the stamp of
the gigantic mind from which it emanated. It is wholly ties from
the usual vices of French composition • depth, originality, compre-
hensiveness, and great energy of expression, are its prominent cha-
racteristics. A profound and intuitive sagacity, a clear and unerr-
ing insight into human character, mental resources almost preter-
natural, and an incredible knowledge of the minutest details of
every subject discussed, are exhibited in almost every page: no.
thing escapes the observation, or transcends the capacity, of the
Imperial annalist. lle combines the Judgment and penetration of
Tacitus, with the prodigious versatility of Caesar, and the more
enlarged views of modern philosophy and science; policy, religion,
