F. HANCOCK, of Bruton-street and New
C• Bond-street, Jeweller and Silversmith to the Principal
Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, begs leave to remove an erroneous
impression which exists amongst some of his cu. tourers, that he has
retired, or is about to retire, from business. This impression (which
is entirely unfounded) has probably ariien in consequence of the re-
tirement and selling offs f a Jeweller of the same name, also of New
Bond-street, but with whom C. F. Hancock is not, and never has
been, in any way connected, either in business or by relationship.

0818 BITING.—A. "preventive head collar" has been
invented and patented by Mr. Cook, which is said to
place an effectual atop on crib-biting. The "preventive"
it attached to the throat-band of the head-cellar, In
attempting to crib-bite, the muscles of the throat swell,
and press down the upper plate of the preventive against
the spikes fixed in the lower. The lower plate being
unyielding, and the upper pierced with holes, some
blunt spikes are brought into contact with the animal's
throat, and be is soon led to connect cause with effect, and
to abandon the trick. The "preventive" causes no discom-
fart to the horse, is no obstruction to hie feeding—he can
eat, drink, graze, and sleep in it at perfect ease. All that
is requisite in its use is to be careful that the bead-collar
is taken up at the same length on both sides of the
cheeks and throat-band, to ensure the preventive's fall-
ing exactly in the centre of the throat ; also to keep it
clean, and occasionally to oil the springs and screws.
