STARCH.—BROWN and POLSON beg to in-
vite the attention of laundresses and the public to their
PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength,
colour, and purity. It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not
stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi-
ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is
free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient.
" I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi-
gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison,
of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse-
quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under
my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it
goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives
an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not
liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that
potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture.

Also, their IMPROVED AIIROW-ROOT, warranted free
of Potato, proven by the most competent judges to be equal in
all respects to the finest West Indian (as the annexed certifi-
cate from the celebrated Dr. Fyfe will show ), consequently as
well adapted as a lightsome and nutritious article of food for In-
valids and 'lnfants ; and makes excellent Blanc Mange without
any admixture of Isinglass or Gelatine.
Sold by Chemists, Italian Warehousemen, and Grocers, in
half-pound and one pound packages, at 9d. per pound.
" Edinburgh, June 25,1842,
Brown and Poison's Improved Arrow Root, the manufacture
of which I have inspected, is prepared without any admixture of
Potato-flour. It possesses all the qualities of W,st Indian Ar-
row Root, and therefore may be used as an equally wholesome
and nutritious article of food.

wry case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my

26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
Purchased a 23. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing °Pour life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may snake what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
eockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant.
