CA UT I 0 N.—MECIII'S MAGIC STROP.
"The /teal Magic Strop," "The Double Magic Strop," "The
Z,airle Strop," are all base imitations of MECIII'S MAGIC STROP.
None are genuine without Mechi's name, which imitators dare not
pat on the spurious strop ; yet, strange to say, many perfumers call-
Ule themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cost
Qom 3d. to sd. each in Sheffield) on the public, as Mechi's genuine
strop,t although they possess no sharpening properties whatever, but
e very reverse. The well-known Magic taste is an invaluable
haxillary to the Strop, and its renovating properties aro truly sato-
Mechi's Raxers stand pre-eminent, as well as his Table
Cutlery.

SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
Years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article exts.st which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
Rey hair, whiskers, 'moustaches, Acc., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
d"" ti
by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can
be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. id., is., aid 10s
per bottle,
