FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
Other ; but in our transactions to apply principles of such sterling
Value and universal import as mast prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of oar novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.

POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our cmcentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original coat, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
With the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons
them
such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented. enabling to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
"Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

TO TRH LADLES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoee, of the lierbary, High-
;ate fcr the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I ls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience,
not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfame iti far
• beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the abovefact• .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
nair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most &Coate ladies may use this delightful product of the:
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, peur ten or twelve drops
On the grown of the head; livery bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
