" To Mr. Silas Bentley,

" Sir,—l have had the pleasure of making trial of the Varnish you
politely sent me, and am of opinion that you have succeeded in pro-
ducing a brilliant desideratum in art,
" ABRAHAM COOPER, R. 1."

" To ➢ir. Silas Bentley

" Sir,—At your request I have made tritils with your new colour-
less Porcelain-Lustre Varnish,' on divers and valuable pictures.
The result has been most completely satisfactory, in all respects. It
is certain you have discovered a process new in art. I shall never
use any other kind of Varnish.
" RAMSAY RICHARD REINAGLE, R.A."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley,

" Sir,—On trial, I find that your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish is as
colourless as the Mastic Varnish, over which it possesses one very
great advantage--it does not chill, and dries well and hard.
" C. It. LESLIE, R.A."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley.

" Sir,—After a trial of six months, I find that your Porcelain-
Lustre Varnish bears out perfectly.—WlLLlAM ETTY, ILA."
" To Mr. Silas Bentley.
" Sir,—Your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish will apply perfectly to pic-
tures painted in opaque colours. I have tried your Varnish on two
oil paintings, and I like it so well that I shall continue to use it. It
appears to be greatly superior to any I know of.

TALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, a Sure Cure
for Bad Legs, Scurvy, &c.—Read the following wonderful
account of Halse's Scorbutic Drops. It must convince the most
sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary Com-
pound of Herbs. This important letter is sent to Mr. liaise by Mr.
W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of' the parish of Brent,
Devon :—"Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider it a duty
incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of
your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you,
that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor
suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying
but every thing in order to give my chld ease, but day by day she
continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was
no longer able to walk ; her body and head were covered all over
with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup-
tions would itch In such a dreadful manner that she would roll
herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what-
ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were
certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken
one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, sad
she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken
the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her
limbs was restored. to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as
good or better than it ever was.
" I remain, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
" WILLIAM MATTHEWS."
