THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER
The high estimate formed by the public during the tea year
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has beed before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability et silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
ntroduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
aington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
e sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma.
erial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
hey be distinguished from real silver.

A
WELCOME TO MAY.
Mere's a welcome to May in a right merry lay !
Let ev'ry one join in the song
Such a season as this should elate us with bliss
While the bells sound a merry " 4014 g dong.",
Bright Phoebus on high is illuming the sky,
And marching triumphantly o'er us ;
And the hedges look
gay while the birds on the spray
Are happily joining in chorus.
This, this is the season when all have good reason
To put on a change of attire;
And this may be done, for MOSES and SON
Are provided with all you require.

Their "flowers of style" in elegance smile,
Like the flowers which open in May ;
And all are agreed that nought can exceed
E. MOSES and SON'S choice display,

Then
an ail have good reason at such a glad season
To put on a change of attire ;
Come, as thousands have done, to MOSES and SON,
Whose warehouse has all you require.
New Work, entitled "Pat, Present, and Future," with full
directions for self-meas,nr, emen, may be had on application, or
forwarded, " Post Free._

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of tho various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings aro an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit ef no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era. _ I

by way of protection, to caution the public against being duped by
such base imitations.

apply to a bookseller for the same, may, to insure secrecy, have it
direct from the Authors, by enclosing 3i. Cd., or Postage Stampe,
