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, Borough, takes this oppor.
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate, for 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
t ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenatbf, feeling assured that many ladies' would gladly purehase.
an II a. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, notonly in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
o
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops oa 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
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
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the heat; if v,ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair oil children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convu!slons, as well asplomoting the growth of hair.-see

informing him of the verdict of a jury,on an inquest held
by yeu as Coroner, in the case of Elizabeth Howe, lately
deceased ; transmitting also, by the request of the jury,
copies of the depositions taken at the inquest. You have
further communicated to Sir George Grey the sentiments
if the jury expressed on that occasion, with reference
both to the practice of apprehending females not offend-
ing against the general law of the land, and to the unfit
state of the prison in which they are confined.

that the several particulars to which you have called his
attention will be carefully considered by him, and he will
make an early communication upon the subject to the
