THERE is a double use and purpose in the
NICOLL, or PATENT CHLA3ITS PA LETOT, in other
words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat,
and will look equally well as a light Paletot (usued In walking, &c.).
indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and
fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form
into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the
Nicholl, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in-
corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original
manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble
to the wearer.

A most moderate price is flxed for these two garments in one,
viz., Three Guineas.

It has been secured from Imitation by Royal Letters Patent, and
can be had in London only, of Messrs. Nicoll, 114; 116, 120, Regent-
street, and 22, Cornhill.

3/1 EMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and
MEDIC,IL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all
readily concede their patronage to the new patented iavention called
THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a
black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending
appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to geitle-
men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a
variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes-
sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the
morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.
How thisis effected is more fully described, with the prices, in one of
the accompanying advertisements.

TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS,
UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the
City, r s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn..
ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by
inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter
Paletot would then be desirable, as too often the case, the said warm
coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in-
curred. The price of this garment is given in the annexed Adver-
tisement ; but it can only be had in London, of the Patentees, Messrs.
Nicoll, 114, 116, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill.

RAILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the
NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMYS PALETOT to be indis-
pensable to their comfort upon a journey for the five following
reasons:—

First—lt is a warm overcoat.
Secondly—lt can be converted Into a light overcoat at the
journey's end.

Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an
ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly
concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and
most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or
hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, neck, from cold
draughts of air.

Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in-
dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c.
The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the
Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public,
consists in its moderate price, already submitted in anothor adver-
tisement (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). In-
deed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll
would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low prices
quoted.

AGENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII
those Firms throughout the varioas parts of the United King-
dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, hare held a local

appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual
conditions. _ _

Gentlemen, Non-Ttesidents in the Metropolis, nre constantly de-
siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also
the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be
easily eff3cted by means of public Advertisement, as a descrip-
tion of the -number of inches around chest and waist (taken
under the coat) will alone suffice; but the names of all
the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous.
to be described through the same medium ; however, the address of

CAUTION.—We, the undersigned, hereby declare
our intention to institute Legal Proceedings against any
person or persons who, after the date of this notice, shall make, or
cause to be made, any infringement upon the Patent granted to us
under the title of Improvements in Garments, Pockets, &c.
The said invention consists—Firstly, of a mode or modes of making
or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and,
secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and
other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part
may be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer
Coats or l'aletots, &c., to a separate Garment and purpose ; and, in
the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected
by the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im-
mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal.

We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and
descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and
second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is
to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation
of the full title of the Nicoll Chlamys Paletot), and the second part
is called "The Patent Pocket Protector ;" and further it is our in-
tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to
restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau-
thorised persons from applyiug either of these trade marks or terms
to other articles, or selling or offering for sile any garment, &c.,
bring au infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending
to our injury and the deception of the public.
