TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 11 46. Reader, remember, this letter was put fat
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. IT. GrimstOae, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever 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
as lie. bottle U 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, bat as a cure ef nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasnre 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, Mew
drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare 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 product 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 erovrn of tha head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
beads, 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 el testimonials.
All letters addressed to William Grirnstone, Herbary, Highgate.

A NEW CHRISTMAS CAROL

Our eminent writers do Carols unfold,
Both modern Carols and Carols of old ;
But in spite of their efforts, we venture to say,
We will give you a Carol unique in its way.
As useful as many —and something to boot,
Provided you let our instructions take root.
So the Bard of L. lIYAM his efforts will raise,
To give a
BRIGHT CAROL FOR DARK CHRISTMAS DAYS.
Success, ye merry gentlemen, a happy Christmas time,
May all your stock hooks, when made up, a balance show most prime
May '49 increase your trade, arol prove that England still,
Will take the lead for commerce, for talent, and for skill !

Success to all our artizans ! the sinews of the land,
Employment may they hays in full, and none with hunger stand ;
May pea sod all this Christmas time glad Carols now record,
May pce and plenty smile around their own domestic board !
Success to one and all we quaff; but don't forget to go,
To llyam's, G'racechurch-street, for there he has a glorious show !
In Clothing all the world's surpass'd—and he's determin'd clear,
To help the million to enjoy their merry Christmas cheer!
