THE Royal Family, Nobility, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
are respectfully informed, that PRINCE'. celebrated RUSSIA
OIL is proved the only article that will prevent the HAIR falling
off or turning grey, and if begun to change, by using it often, will, in
a short time, restore it to its natural colour, and is the best article for
dressing, preserving, promoting, curling, and making the Hair look
beautiful, at 55. per Bottle, or a Bottle containing five small, 20s.
CAUTIOL—There are several Hair-dressers who sell counterfeit
Russia Oil, which is trash, and to deceive have the villany to put the
Proprietor's name, Prince, on the cover and bottle ; therefore the
Proprietor begs Ladies and Gentlemen to be particular, when pur-
chasing the Russia Oil themselves, or sending their servant for it, to
have it of the Proprietor, Mr. Prince, 9, Poland-street, Oxford-street,
or of the principal Perfumers and Medicine Venders.
Merchants and Captains, who have orders for Russia Oil, will be
particular and guard against impostors who go about with base coun-
terfeits and say it is the Genuine. Several Merchants and Captains,
who have been deceived, and have sent it to the East and West In-
dies, have been blamed for sending Counterfeit, and have had it re-
turned, as abroad they are very particular to have a Genuine article.
The Public in general ought to be acquainted that there is a man of
the name of Asher, who was a servant some time ago to Mr. Prince,
who employed hint to do the labouring part (as the principal ingredi-
ent is kept a secret by the Proprietor, who always mixed it himself.)
This same man has the audacity to make a trash which he calls Russia
Oil, and the insolence so copy the bill and wrapper, and to put his
former master's name on the cover and seal. The Proprietor is sorry
to say, there are several ilair-dressers and others, although knowing
it is not the genuine, have the meanness to buy this trash, as they get
it for a mere trifle, and impose on the Public by telling them it is the
Genuine. This same fellow, some time ago, travelled, and tried to
impose his Counterfeits on Country Hair-dressers and Shopkeepers ;
hut in Brighton, if they had caught him, he would have bad a good
ducking, as he took in several who thought it was the Genuine, as the
wrapper was made exactly like Mr. Prince's. He had even the vil-
lany to call on Mr. John Good, Hair-dresser, Brighton, and said he
was a traveller from Mr. Prince and was now returning to London,
with some Russia Oil on hand ; instead of which, if Mr. Good pur-
chased it, he would allow him 10$. per cent. extra discount, un which
Mr Good bought it. Some of his cutomers having bought some
of him brought it back, and said they did not think it Ge-
nuine, on which Mr. Good, suspecting something wrong, wrote
to Mr. Prince. the proprietor, London ; on the receipt of which, Mr.
Prince went immediately to Brighton ; and Mr. Good and others, who
had been deceived in a similar manner, went to John Bates, Esq. the
magistrate of Brighton, and asked his advice. When the magistrate
heard the case, he said he could have three months in the tread-mill.
—as it was a fraud—for taking money under fale pretences, and granted
a warrant for his apprehension ; but the rogue getting scent of it, ran
a+::y trom Brighton to London ; and the magistrate signing the war-
rant recommended it to J. E. Conant. Esq. the magistrate of Marlbo-
rough-street, London, who sent officers to apprehend him, yet the rogue
managed to keep himself from being taken ; but as the warrant is
still open against him, if he does not leave off his roguery he can still
he punished. To convince Hair-dressers and others it is a fact, the
warrant may be seen at Mr. Prince's. Also Hair-dressers. or any one
else selling counterfeit Russia oil, under any pretence whatever, with
the name Prince on the seal and wrapper, are liable to be pun6hed,
ith a dance on the treadmill for the fraud. The proprietor also ac-
quaints gentlemen who are in the habit of going to the hotels in Covent
Garden, and its vicinity, that there is a hairdresser under the piazza
who sells counterfeit, and has taken in several purchasers, by telling
them it is Genuine. Several gentlemen who have bought this trashlhave
come to the proprietor to know if it was the Genuine, as they found it
did not answer the purpose, and learning it was counterfeit they said
they would never again employ him, and would acquaint the proprietor
of the hotel of his roguery.
No doubt there are some Hair-dressers who think Mr. Prince, the
Proprietor, is too severe with them ; but if they conscientiously con.
shier the thousands Mr. Prince has spent in advertising It, they must
actually consider it next to robbery to endeavour to deprive Mr.
Prince of the sale of it by selling Counterfeit ; and besides, Mr. P. al-
a very liberal discount for selling again.
To satisfy the Public in general that Mr. Prince's Russia Oil is
the original and only Genuine, the fol owing Gentlemen, who are
the brit Perfumer. and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom, have
sold it above twenty years :—Smyth and Nephew. 117, New Bond-

THE WAGER.
LORD who in cock-fighting took great delight,
Once offered this wager to lay :
That when put down together the cocks should not fight,
But run from each other away ;

For that be a greater attraction would bring
Than they to each other would pr.,ve,
A charm so alluring, that round the wide ring
They should follow where'er he should move.
The wager accepted, the cocks trimmed and grac'd,
(What a concourse encircled the ground!)
And they were no sooner upon the turf placed.
Than each cock turned suddenly round.
They viewed not each other, but made a dart stand,
Then swift at his lordship they sew
(His bouts were by Warren's jet Blacking japan'd
And surprisingly shone to the view.)
The secret was out ; but the wager was won,
For the image of each was displayed,
In the high polished boots that so brilliantly shone,
And each cock attack'd his own shade.
Then shouts of applause echoed loud from the throng,
To his lordship's sagacity due;
But if pralae to his lordship's invention belong,
Warren ! what must be given to you?
Nor without your jet Blacking his boots had not shone,
Nor have had such a lustre tis boast,
Tb humour had failed, he the bet had sot won,
And the sport of the day had been lost.
Rack nobleman present then quickly declared,
Warren's Blacking alone he would use,
And each one to Warren as quickly repaired,
To buy his Japan for their shoes.
