TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1346. 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, Borough, takes this oppor-
Nulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efticacy 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
lover was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. 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 if nervous headache ; as a toilet perfinne iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, are w
drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, aid
,revent 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 product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
♦dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour tea or twelve drops
n the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It prodices
air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on Infants'
cads, 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. _ _

I A G E.

LTI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
compresing hurry ; bat the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.
AT 4E.A.
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
suffice :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saying the ship and 230 souls on hoard, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."
ON LAND

the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
the brigade. They act instantaneously at tie outbreak of a fire.
"We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Norton's dyery, and 12,900/. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and 31essrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
pewder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.
" North Waisham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property- now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
It a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.

Portable Engines speedily prow. steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.

Now the fact is this, all former Peres Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus : —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in lydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight Call
raise 10,1100 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
up% ant) side by side with the Fountain Pimp, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,1113, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain-
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.

The Consummation Fountala Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridicelous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less coat than common pumps.

IaOWL AN D'S ALSANA EXTRACT.
For the the Toothache and Gum Boils, and for eradicating
all disorders of the Teeth and Gums. In the anguish of excrutiating
pain it affords instantaneous relief, while its frequent use will be
found to strengthen the gums, and fortify the Teeth against future
attacks. It totally exterminates scurvy, restores the Gums to the
fullness of health, and by endowing them with additional firmness of
adhesion, it firmly fixes and roots the Teeth in their sockets. It era-
.icstes unpleasant taste and injurious secretion from the mouth, and
repels the approach of incipient decay. It is perfectly innocent, and
is a1.,0 an excellent stomachic in cases of flatulency and depression of
spirits. This invaluable specific has been held in high estimation for
many years, and is under the sanction of the first physicians. Price
is. 'A., 49. 6d., and Ins. sd. per bottle.

CAUTION.—Each bottle of the genuine preparation is enclosed in
a wrapper, on which are the wards—" ROW LAND'S ALSANA EX-
TRACT." The Government Stamp has also the Proprietors' name
and address, thus —" A. ROWLAND AND SON, 20, lIATTON-

THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES
The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three,
With the truth of this version you all will agree :
Now September's set in, most nobly we'll strive,
To keep the old custom of shooting alive.
The game is abundant, the weather is clear,
Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear;
But sportsman, before you depart for the fun,
Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, aid Gam,
The first in the field L. HYAM now stands,
For his " Paletot Shoetixg.coat," known in all lands ;
Enveloped in these, it aeon will be found,
That the wind and the rain fall powerless around.
For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got,
Just wear one—yea soon wil be reckoned a " shot."
Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well,
One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel
For that is the cause why the journals express
Each very great faith in his prime shooting dress.
Fulfil then your wishes—yoar pleasures complete,
By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street.
The stock is unvaried, you can't lack success,
In equipping yourself in a " good Shooting Dress."
