BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIE
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps,Londonl
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en:
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make., feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guard'4d ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Sen, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without came or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others Iturgiss's ;" and many more without address. Johr
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
Will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
Climates.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL
preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it front falling
off or turning grey ; restores grey hair to its original colour; free
from scurf and dandruff, and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossysit
—facts abundantly proved by innumerable testimonials, which are
open for inspection at the proprietors. As a mild stimulative, cor-
rective, and preservative agent, ROWLAND'S MACA.SSAIt OIL
has the exclusive patronage of the several Sovereigns and Courts of
Europe, and with rank, fashion, and discernment, supersedes all
preparations of professed similar import. A small pamphlet accom-
panies each bottle of Rowland's Macassar Oil, wherein important
hints and advice will bo found on the culture of the hair of infancy,
and on its preservative and beauty through the several stages of
human life.
CAUTlON.—Unprincipled shopkeepers, for tke sake of gaining a
trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of
"Macassar Oil." It is therefore linperative on purchasers to see that
the words ItOWIAND'S MACASSAR OIL, are in two lines
on the wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of
the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.
Price is. 6,1., 7s. Family Bottles (equal to four small), les. id., and
double that size, 21s. per bottle.—Sold by the Proprietors, A. ROW-
LAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Chemists and
