V.,,bIPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID DYE,
patronised by thousands for upwards of 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. While other dyes destroy
the Mir 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 itself can be its parallel." Price 3s. 6d., 65., and
Its. per Bot le.

HAIR NOURISHED, BEAUTIFIED, AND RESTORED.
SPENCER'S CELEBRATED RUSSIA. FLUID.
This inestimable compound is unequalled for preserving and re-
producing the human Hair, even at the latest period of life, prevent-
ing it from turning grey, freeing it front dandruff, rendering it soft,
silky, elastic and curly, so that heat, damp, nor continued exercise
will in the least destroy its splendid appearance, and imparting a
delightful perfume. It is invaluable for children, as it lays the foun-
dation of an excellent head of hair; promotes the growth of Whiskers,
Eyebrows, &c. Price ls. 6d., and 4s. per Bottle.
It may be obtained of the above repectable Shopkeepers.

'THE POET'S PROPHECY.
I do not want to imitate old Moore, -
Who often tried the future.- -
never handle matters of chronology
By means of signs connected with astrology.
Far more I know of n-aistcoats, coats, and breeches,
Than fortanc-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 er not.
Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong
In saying winter will be 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 moderate price is sold,
Adapted to the bard's predicted cold.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of thp
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious hats, while suffering from their Invariable con-
sequences, unwisely enertains 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 hinvand prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'II,IERT has taken the highest
guarantee for his professional expert-
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice
bifaerh lahanasyrefyeerarenscise alma ost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.
