—This admirable discovery of the present zra is found
to be not only au article of great tcconomy, which of
itself is a sufficient recommendation, it being nearly
halt the price of other Cloth ; but the greatest pre-
server and promoter of health, and that in an eminent
degree in warns cliotaier and season: ; preserving an
equable temperature, Ind totally preventing the dan-
gerous effects arising from standing still alter being
overheated by exercise, or by the aLninp:.cre. The
present plan the Proprietor has adopted of selling it
ONLY at the Establishment, the Lou India Warehouser
in the City, we do not altogether approve, on account
of its being a public benefit, we would recommend the
employ of Agents in every part of the Empire for
the Sale of it ; nevertheless, tht present speedy con.
veyance to every part of the country greatly favours
hie plan.
