DELETERIOUS CON FECTIONARY.—Man y
children having been poisoned by eating the ornaments of
twelfth cakes, in consequence of the general use of mineral colours
by confectioners. Messrs. PURSSELL, 78, Cornhill, near the Ex-
change, have introduced an entirely novel method of DECORATING
their CAKES with FRENC II BON BONS; &c., of delicious flavour;
the colours, being prepared solely from vegetables, are quite harmless.
Ornamented cakes of every va•iety, suitable for country presents,
now year's gifts, &c. A great variety of f*ney French and Swiss

AMERRY CHRISTMAS and CHRISTMAS '
FESTIVITIES.—Good cheer, smiling faces, warm-hearted
wishes, visits, balls, amusements, everything pleasing—variety tri-
umphing over monotony, pushing the dull system of things entirely
out of practice, and helping every one to be merry and cheerful.
All observers of the preparations made for Christmas festivities by
E. Moses and Soli will easily understand how this is accomplished.
There is not anything more necessary to cheerfulness than first-rate
Attire, and that presented by E. Moses and Son exhibits greater ex-
cellence and variety than on any previous season.
For the festive season E. Moses and Son have rendered their
gigantic commercial resources available for every one, the best and
cheapest articles of Attire being offered for Ladies, Gentlemen, and
Children.
The variety in Overcoats and Winter Clothing is produced by an
extraordinary association of skill and experience, which has selected
the most fashionable and durable materials, and fashioned them to
the, most celebrated habiliments of the age. The variety in Dress
for Christmas parties entirely surpasses description; every material
in which taste and fashion is conspicuous is made into the most mag-
nificent attire ever witnessed.
Juvenile Attire is rendered universally attractive by new modes of
cutting, making, and Trimming ; many new styles are introduced as
distinguished tor fashion and comfort, as the Goods are for Durability
and economy.
The New Stock in the Ladies Dress Department comprehends all
the Novelties in the World, and Hosiery Goods for Ladies and Gen-
tlemen the richest and cheapest articles ever offered.
Variety is the charm of Christmas Parties, but it was never so
magnificently provided as this year by E. Moses and Son, and in
presenting the best and cheapest articles of Dress to all classes, they
wish their Friends, Patrons, and the Public " A Merry Christmas."
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
taisehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN Olt OUT OF LONDON,
except their own Establishments, as follows :
