TO TIII DIES.
This lady had the following letter LA
inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1246. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of Ne. 3. Swan-street, Rerough, takes this oppor-
tunity •1 publicly thanking Mr. W. Grtmstose, of the Herbary, High-
gate ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four mouths,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger aad more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weckley inserts this testimony te'the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if tkey 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 iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure is answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ais w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering tho hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops ea your hairbrush before brushlag the hair, will give tke
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may ass this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and snakes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
ea the erown of the heal; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of a*
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
h tit. on ehildren's heads in a few appplicatiens. If used cm Infants'
beads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brat* as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pataphlet et testimonials.

CELlBACY.—Singleness is not always the eon,
sequence of disinclination, disappointed affect, or a dirt!.
culty in meeting with a tit helpmate.
Thousands ofion the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
bthey feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
lighting f icon reveals innumerable instanc,..B where, under that
sciousness, man has permitted the most ardent &free-
tioa to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which
his affianced mild be plunged if he married. Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying tier society, by precluding her
from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an Instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqualifications for Marriage have more than ime prliaary source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes t—nainely,
Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marryiag by the effects
of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im-
pulse towards wedlock. In each of these Instance. it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and
he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. such will Thad
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO.,
Consulting durgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled
MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain
Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c. This entiaent Work,
which is forwarded by W. Strange, Boookseller, 21, Patnernoster-
row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope for 2s. id., in postage
stamps, has saved thousaids, and the result of its perusal has in-
