THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the ten years
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material hall been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of 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,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
kington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna •
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma
terial 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) aro, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can bo supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

SCEIWEPPE'S SODA and other MINERAL
WATERS, now so universally used at all seasons of the year,
continue to be manufactured upon the largest scale at their several
establishments in London, Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, and may
be obtained of the principal chemists throughout the kingdom.
As LIME WATER, under a fanciful name, has recently been ex-
tensively advertised by another party as a new invention, J. S. and
Co. beg respectfully to inform the public, that they have made and
sold AERA fED LIME WATER for many years past; but as lime
is dangerous to some constitutions, producing the very disorders it is
presumed to remedy or prevent, they regard it only as a medicine,
not to he used indiscriminately, but only under medical direction.
J. S. and Co. continue also to import GERMAN SELTZERS
WATER as heretofore, throughout the season, and direct from the
springs, through the agency and personal superintendency of the
same commercial house on the Rhine, that has managed this depart
went of their business for the last twenty years. The only guarantee
for the genuineness and freshness of this celebrated:Water is the offi-
cial stampon the cork, affixed at the springs.
