TO CATHOLIC NOBLEMEN AND FAMILIES.

T must be obvious to all who duly consider the subject,
1 that the state of the LABOURING CATHOLICS in ENG-
LAND, and more particularly In the METROPOLIS, is ca-
pable of great improvement, u regards their morals and happi-
ness ; and without dwelling either on the impositions to which
they are subject, or the disadvantages under which they
pap.-
tually labour, it Is presumed that every measure that wouln
to promote economy and industry, and couateract the general
distress, wbich too often visits whole districts, would meet with
the liberal patronage of the mere wealthy members of the Uni-
venal Church.

Considering that the greater part of the distress that is to be
found among the poor Catholics, arises from sickness, and that the
evil is increased by the want of medical assistance, and the total
suspension of the poor men's earnings; and further, that (to say
nothing of the uncertainty of those institutions) Irish labourers,
indeed Catholics generally, are excluded from the advantages of
most Benefit Societies, it is respectfully submitted to the more
wealthy Catholic Families,—
That an Institution should be formed under the Act of 39 (leo. 3.
esp. to enable Catholics generally, of all denominations, to
provide, by Monthly Contributions, certain Weekly Allowances
during Sickness and Infirmity, and sums of Money at Pauli, for
Burial Expenses, he. he.
That tire contributions. required for such allowances, should
be timed by proper actuaries at the lowest possible rate, to secure
the permanence and stability of the Institution.
That the Society should be aided by the voluntary Subscrip-
tions of Honorary Members, and be governed by a Cominiuee
chosen from and by the Honorary Subscribers and Insuring
Members. - - . -

That the Mambos should meet annually only, fur the election
of Officers; and, that the business of the Society should be carried
oo at some convenient place—not a public house.
Of the positive advantages arising from this step, none hut those
who have considered the subject can form any idea. The promo.
Um of industry and economy; protection against that distress which
is the result of sickness or death ; the prevention of contagious dis-
ease by the prompt attention which would emanate form the So-
ciety's visiting medical practitioners, are some of the earliest of the
effects which would be produced; and it is under this impression
that friends to such a measure, are earnestly solicited to communi-
cate with a lientleman who has determined to found such an Insti-
tution in London, and who will lend his assistance towards esta-
blishing such Societies in any County or City in the United King-
dom, and furnish the Plan, Rules, Calculations, and the Certificates
required by the Act of Parliament.
Persons who may feel desirous to promote such an object, by
subscribing from one guinea upwards, either annually or as a do.
nation; or who can lend any assistance towards the undertaking;
or who may be desirous of establishing such a Society in any part
of England, Ireland, or Scotland, upon priociples which cannot•
fail. are requested tq forward a line, post paid, to M 0. B. Peers

13RINCE'S I'ELEBRATEL) RUSSIA OIL is now
1 so imputed with an extra valuable ingredient, through which
It has made it the greatest presenter and promoter to the hair: if
need constantly, not a hair will fall off or turn grey : it is such •
nourisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey? it will
restore it to its natural colour by rubbing it frequently intO the
VOWS, 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. Will surely restore the hair on bald places, if
there is the le ist sign of roots ; but if persons are bald,and the roots
are entirely gone, it Is against nature that any article can restore it;
and if persons pretend to restore hair when the roots Are gone, by I
any article whatever, it is a falsity. Persons who have .gon so
get bald ought to be particular to use the Russia Oil daily, or
the least every other day, as there must be a complaint in the scalp, I
which may go further, and carry off the hair comely, if neglected.
which has ofien been the ease. Nitro Medical Gentlemen of the
Medical Hall, *rho have analysed Prince's Rosins Oil, hare pub.
lisped in the.. Gazette of Health," No. 16, that the diste cry hi a I
great credit to the proprietor, and is superior to any other f. for
' the hair, and will do in eases of baldness and weak hair, what can
possibly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Medical
tientlemen have also analysed another Oil, which is daily puffed in
the Papers as used by Emperors, Kings, I/ukes, &c., and hate
published in the " Gazette of Health," No. 12, that en examining
the ingredients of this grand Oil, they find it contains only cam.
mon Oil, coloured and perfunied; therefore, it cannot be compared
to the Russia Oil as a nourishes to the hair. There arc petty pee-
firmer*, hair-dressers and others, who inch bullocks fat, and pot
it in pots and perfume it, and take ID the publte by pretending to
sell them lloars' Grease ; but it is well known that Rears' Grease is
too harsh for the hair, and makes the heir turn grey and falL.or
The truth of this is well known to entry ono who kaOws the &spe-
rm Alexander, as he lost his hair at In earls age and man; Por•
sans of distinction in the North also last theklair at as early ale,
through using nears' Grease. In short, in Russia, and other parts
of the North, where the lkars are, it is found from experience that
Bears' Grease is too harsh for the hair; and whoever recommends
it in this country for the hair, must do it for imposition, oc must
be ignorant of its injuring the hair; but Prince's Celebrated Russia
Oil is mixed with the luau nourishing oils in Europe, and it is
always likes jelly; and it is proved by every one who has gives it
a fair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pro. '
I 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 persona have sold them counterfeits.
Ladies and gentlemen will be particular, as impostors in Great ttet-
tain, France, and different parts of the Continent, have made the
covers of the Counterfeit Russia Oil so much like the genuine; and
some, more to deceive falsely, have printed on the counterfeit covers
" the original," or " genuine Rums Oil," and some even are so
daring, although they know it is punishable to put the original
proprietor's name. Therefore, purchasers should be cautious, and
have it of the proprietor, or of respectable venders.
Ask for Prince's Improved Russiattil. The ounce bottle, five shn-
lings ; a large bottle, containing live ounces, one pound, is a saving.
Sold by the sole proprietor, A. Prince, Poland-street, Oxfo-
soreet, near the Pan;heon ; and by Mr. Smyth, perfumer to his
Majesty, New Bond-street ; Mews. Hendrie Tichbonie-street ;
Sanger, 180, II:toed-street ; Rigge, SS, Clwoliside ; Johnson, 48,
Cornhill Tutt, Royal Exchange ; and by most prindpal perfumers
end medicine venders.

Prince's Russia Oil has been Improved with the extra Ingredient
since the year 1022, through which it will keep pleasant in this or
any other climate. Several captains who have come from the Con-
tinent have declared, that whenever they Laded merchandise they
have been asked if they had any of l'nnee's Russia fhl ? therefore
merchants will find an advantage in exporting*. Merchants and
Captains will receive a liberal allowance for exportation.

Proved by affidavit on the 24th of Rioiember, lull, before the
Lord Mayor of Gordon, as A. Prince is the original Proprietor in
the universe of the Russia Oil ; and therefore, if any perfume►,
medicine-vender, liar-dresser, or is,y one elm in Great Britain or
any other country, sell an Oil called Hussiaoll, that is Oa Prince's,
they arc impostors, as they sell counterfeits to their cuatomers. As
several bodies and Gentlemen in the country have been taken in by
unprincipled persons selling them Counterfeit Russia Oil, therefore
will he sure to have the genuine by sending a remittance to the
proprietors, will be forwarded inunediatelrby coach
