This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hal r en her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they 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 in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may use this delightful precinct of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certai❑ in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.
All letters addressed to William Gemstone, llerbarv. rllatgate.

31 One half the woad are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
an broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the conapaot; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, it
