A TENT PERRYIAN PENS.
These Pens having been submitted to the test of public
opinion for many years, are acknowledged to stand pre-eminent
for the great superiority of their manufacture. The care be-
stowed in perfecting them to suit every description of writing,
renders them cheaper than the ordinary pens at a lower price.
Their adoption in the Government and other Public Offices,
Banks, &c., with their great and increasing sale, is sufficient
evidence of the high estimation in which they are held.
Sold on Cards, with Medium, Fine, Extra Fine. or Broad
Points. Each Card bears the signature—" JAMES PERRY

and Co."
N.B.—Some Pen Manufacturers, taking advantage of the
mmense demand for these Pens over all others, have been im-
posing spurious ones upon the public, for whose protection, and
for the protection of the Patentees, TWENTY POUNDS
REWARD will be given on conviction, for information of
any person or persons infringing any of the Proprietor's patent
rights.
PERRYIAN LIMPID INK. . .

This Ink has a flowin property peculiar to itself, and does
not corrode Metallic Pens as other Inks.—ln Bottles, 6d., is.,
lik.nd 2s. each.
Sold by JAMES PERRY and Co., Patentees and Manu-
faclurers, 37, Red Lion-square, London ; also by all Sta-
tioners and other Dealers in such Articles.

THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN procures
in a few minutes a passage of the bowels merely with a
little water, which ought to induce persons to relinquish pur-
gatives, the habitual use of which eventually produces more
mischiof than even costiveness itself. This little apparatus
is superior to all lavement machines, irasmuch as it introduces
no air, never requires any adjusting, may be concealed ( when
illed): in a lady's reticule or a gentleman's pocket, and is so
Ample that the most infirm may use it without assistance, and
it will not get out of repair in any climate ! EAR ASSIST-
ANTS TO THE DEAF, by a graduated scale, produce such
a variety of effects, that any individual may employ exactly the
degree of power that his deafness requires, according to the
distance, whether in public or private. The Conversation As-
sistants are worn in the ears without being perceived. Ap-
plications (if by post, should state particulars, and inclose an
order for payment) to Messrs. PINE and ROOFF, Managers
for Dr. Scott (the Inventor), 369, Strand, three doors from
Exeter Hall. Descriptive Drawings, with prices, of the Ape-
ritive Fountain and Ear Assistants, sent post free.

CAUTION.
MANY Shopkeepers, of mean and dishonest
principles, try to impose upon the Public counterfeits
of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL," composed of the
most pernicious and trashy ingredients ; some offer them
under the lure of being Cheap ; others ;aim them surrepti-
tiously upon the unwary as the " Genuine"—the Label, on in-
spection, will be found to be minus the " &" in the Signature
and the Countersign.
AS A PROTECTION FROM SUCH IMPOSITION
Observe—That each bottle is enclosed in a " New Label"
from Steel, by Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co., on which are
these words—in two lines—" Rowland's Macassar Oil," and the
Signature and Address of the Proprietors in Red thus—
A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, Hatton-Garden. London.
Counter-signed ALEX. ROWLAND.
On the back of the Label are the words " Rowland's Ma-
cassar 01" written nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028
letters.

The lowest price is 3s. 6d.—the next 7s.—Or Family Bottles,
containing four small, 10s. 6d., and double that size 21s. per
bottle.

A FACT.

MECHI'S MAGIC STROP is known to
have sharpened Razors when all other means have
failed. Those who doubt it, can ask their friends, and if they
Turchase, and are not satisfied, may have their money returned.
hey are cheap-2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 4s. 6d., and the very large
sizes Its., ss. 6d , and 6s. 6d. each. The MAGIC PASTE is
6d. and Is. per cake. Upwards of 150,000 Strops and one
Million and a half of Paste have been sold in the last six
'years, which is a pretty good proof of their excellence. There
is a lit:le fact, however, to notice, which may prevent much
disappointment and a good deal of pain : sundry unprincipled
bersons, desirous of sharing Mechi's good fortune, without
eing entitled to it., have made up thousands of common strops,
Calling them " The Magic Strop," " The Double Magic
Strop, " The Real Magic Strop," &c. and so on, taking care
not to put on Mechi's Magic Strop. Now, by noticing the
name " Mechi" en each Strop, with the address" No. 4,
Leadenhall•street, London," you are sure to be right, as the
law will not allow them to put Mecli's name on the spu ions
sort. These imitation Strops are manufactured in large
quantities at Sheffield, and shipped to a considerable extent to
America and the Colonies, and it is to be feared that in too
many instances the buyers are not aware they are deceived,
although they find them of no use in sharpening, which is a
considerable injury to Mechi's good name. Most respectable
crfumers throughout the United Kingdom will supply the
,rstuine Strop as cheap as if purchased at Mechi's. His ma.
u
,ufactury is at No. 4, Leadenh4ll-street, London, where may
be had his famous Bagatelle Tables, Dressing Cases, and Papier
alaehe Goods,; also his approved Razors; Penknives, and
Table Cutlery. Catalogues

Proprietor pledges himself that not one particle of"copaiba, either
resin or balsam, cubebs or any deleterious ingredient enters their
composition. Copaihi and cubebs have long been the mosr com-
monly employed medicines in thr above complaints ; but, from the
uncertainty in their effects, together with their utter inefficacy n

Cain symetoms in ,ariably prod ced from taking copaiba, especially
in the ear y stage of the complaint, many of the most able modern
practi•i:mers condemn it as dangerous, and a medicine not to be de

eftec s of the remedy than the virehnce of the disease, and alter a
pAienttut painful perseverance, have been compelled to relinquish
its use, the whole system having ',come more or less affected, and
tile disease as had, if not wnrse than at the commencement. As re_
Cards rule bs, it is true that those violent effects :ire not experienced
