For " ready cash," there's few that's such,
She " thousands" makes ht' rie slight touch,

And when she did at " Oesonic" call,
She was the pride of one and all,
Oh ! lucky Jenny Lind!

In " lovely fashions" to excess,
On " lIYAM'S" name she lays great stress,
Oh ! famous Jenny Lind !

Reigns quite supreme for taste and skill ;
She says to please he has the will,
So says Jenny Lind!

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Bw-ough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabont four months,
and the whole of her hair is much ctronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 11 s. 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 perfume itts far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate 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
•3revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proauct •f the
vest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
sdour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the crown of the head ; if v..ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air ott children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.
