CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the testa six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clab-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are Invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations. it is necessary at all times to order Defries 's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

consumers can be had on application (or will be fi rwarded by post),

TIER MAJESTY'S STATE BALL.
On this forthcoming brilliant and most distinguished occasion,
the attention of those ladies of rank and fashion, who will be
honoured by an invite from her Gracious Majesty, is respectfully
called to the new importation from China, designated " MEEN
FUN " a cosmetic, justly celebrated for its influence on the skin and
complexion, beautifying as well as improving it. By its application
all cutaneous errors are quickly dissipated, such as blotches, tan,
freckles, pimples, and eruptions of every kind, which are not only
offensive to the eye, but painful to its victims. The article is a
White Powder, prepared from oriental herbs of a most simple and
harmless nature, and yet so salutary that it speedily allays all irrita-
tion of the skin, consequent on remaining in crowded assemblies
which invariably causes a too-copious perspiration, whence originate
the numberless evils before alluded to, besides discolouration, and
coarseness of the skin, all of which may be counteracted and averted
by resorting to this invaluable appendage to the toilet. The sole pro-
prietors are Fabian and Co., late Watson, Fabian, and Co., 24,
Mark-lane, London, without whose signature on the labels none are
genuine. To be had wholesale of them, and in town and country of
all respectable Perfluners, Chemists, &c. In boxes, price 3s. 6d., and
75. 6d. each.
