feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony to the excellence of your Frampton's Pill of Health,'
Which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very su,.erior ge-
neral medicine. The widow of an offt,Tr, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them- very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in
Which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the
nrst box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think
that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions
to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,

RESTORATION OF THE HAIR.
" To Messrs. A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London
•• Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas-
sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice.
The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock. of Ashdon,
near this place. whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect-
ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle
Of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me
the pleasing intelligence of the reapp,arance of a thick head of hair.
You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,
" Yours respectfully,
" J. SERGEANT, Bookseller, 8:o."

storative, and beautifying qualities for the Human Hair, is unequal-
led over the whole world. For Children, it is especially recom-
Mended as forming the basis of a beautiful Head of Hair, and ren-
dering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.

FRED.'S HOLIDAY LETTER.
DEAR PAPA AND MAMMA,
I suspect that you'll smile
To find me adopt the poetical style.
But, nevertheless, I've a wish to compose
A metrical letter instead of a prose.
The Midsummer holidays soon will be here,
And Fred in your presence will shortly appear.
But before I return, I have something to say
Which I'm certain will not put you out of the way.
I shall want a new suit, you are fully aware,
For the dress I have by me begins to look bare.
My request, then, is this, that you'll purchase me one
Of no other Tailors than MOSES and SON.
My last, you're aware, was obtained at their Mart,
And ev'ry one says li:uncommonly smart.;
This favour, I hope, will be freely conferr'd—
If not, I shall be a complete " speckled bird."
For the whole of my school-fellows—barring not one—
Are Brest in the suits of E. MOSES and SON.
A durable suit has my present one been—
For, in spite of my "knockings-about" on the green,
My romping and climbing, and other rough play,
Not a part of the clothing has once given way.
Altogether my elegant garments have done
Great credit, indeed, to E. MOSES and SON,
And therefore I hope that you'll do what I've said
And fix upon just such another for Fred

refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the aDove subjects, by anqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

Avoid," and " How to be Happy. They are not merely
Pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laves—and to keep always
