SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID DYE,
•
patronised by thousands for upwards if twenty years, is the
only article extant which effectually changes in a few minutes with-
out trouble, red or gray hair, whiskers, &c. to a dark brown or
black, by simply applying it with a comb. Wine other dyes destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties, this liquid promotes its
growth. Persons who have been deceived by preparations which
have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), &c., will find
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye agreeable in every respect, and
that " none but itselt can be its parallel." r.rice 3s. Gd., Gs., and

THE POET'S PROPHECY.

I do not want to imitate old Moore,
Who often tried the future to explore.
I never handle matters of ehronoingr
Sly means of signs connected with astrology.
Far more I know of waistcoats' coats, and breeches,
Than fortune-tellers, almanacks, and witches.
Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse
Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes,
By telling you the reasons she has got
For thinking winter will be hard or not:.
Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong
In saying winter will ho hard and long.
I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf
Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief ;
The crocus and the hyacinth as well
The self-same story of the winter tell ;
And there is something in the robin's note
Which indicates that warmth is far remote.
Now, if you think I'm right in such a guess,
A warning take, and look to winter dress.
Moses and Son's warm coats you must regard,
If winter's season's to be long and hard.
No opportunity have Moses' lost
In making preparation for the frost.
The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant,
Should lead to Moses' famed establishment,
Where winter dress for moderato price is sold,
Adapted to the bard's predicted cold.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MEET has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practicwewfocrh mhasanyreyfeerarenace is
aguarantee for his professional
almostexperi-
ence, solely to the treatment of these
diseases.
