Sta—ln hopes that all parents will try the same remedy, I hove
thought it my duty to inform you that your Golden Balm has wrought
the greatest wonder in my Child, aged 7 months, in taking one bottle
only. I cannot describe the agony she endured from her gums before
its use. Night after night she deprived me of rest by constant crying,
and nothing seemed to give her a moment's ease, and I was often afraid
she would expire in convulsion fits. Her gums were very hard, and
much swelled and inflamed. She had wasted away to a mere shadow.
But, Sir, only judge of my astonishment ! A few drops rubbed on her
gums gave her immediate ease. I applied it two or three times a day
always with the same effect ; her bowels, which were very costive, be-
came regulated ; and I thank God the child is fast recovering its flesh,
and strength. She has since cut two teeth with considerable ease. In
writing this I perform a duty I owe to you and the public.
Your humble servant,
Witness, Sarah Hanford. MARY CARTER.

prepared by the Proprietor, Henry Congrev., 30, College.street,

having been a medical man of very respectable, extensive, and sue-
ecastul practice, during a period of more than a quarter of a century.
The public may confidently rely on their intrinsic value, which, in
private practice, and since their public introduction, have been de-
veloped in an astonishing degree.

There are Ladies and Gentlemen in Great Britain, as well as on
the Continent, who have been humbugged by various pretenders ;
some prepare Pastes or Powders ; others Tinctures, &c. for Dying the
Hair. The Pastes and Powders are generally prepared with lime,
white lead, mercury, or other such slow poisons, which are injurious
to health, and troublesome to use, as they .are obliged for hours to
have cabbage leaves or wet skins on their bead, to prevent burning the
hair, and at last it does not answer the purpose, as several gentlemen
who have used it to their whiskers have been obliged to bave them
shaved off, as it made them dark at the tips and white at the roots,
which made them look like a magpie, and those who used tinctures,
which are generally prepared with lunar caustic, silver, &c. which
generally turns the hair purple; but the IMPROVED RUSSIA
DYE, with the extra gold ingredient, is now proved to be the only
article that will change red or grey hair to brown black in a few mi-
nutes, and is quite innocent, and changes grey hair as quick as ink
does paper ; and when the roots of the whiskers, when they grow,
and naturally be grey, are painted with a pencil with some Russia
Dye, they will immediately turn dark, which is a great ornament to
gentlemen ; and also when gentlemen have thin grey whiskers, the Im-
plored Runia Dye, with the extra gold ingredient, makes them not only
dark, but also makes them look nearly double the quantity, which the
Proprietor will convince Gentlemen who call upon him. And still
further to convince Gentlemen, if they call at the Proprietor's, No. 9,
Poland-street, Oxford-street, every Wednesday, from Twelve till
Three, they will see a Gentleman, above 65 years of age, with
whiskers of a beautiful brown black, like a Young Gentleman of 30.
The Proprietor will thank Venders, who have any Russia Dye on
hand before it was improved with the extra gold ingredient, to send
it him, and he will change it, as the Proprietor wishes none to be sold
unless prepared with the extra Ingredient, as the Proprietor must con.
teas they were a little humbugged also.

TO WEARERS OF FALSE HA IR.—A Valuable Discos ery
to Ladies and Gentlemen who wear false hair, as by putting a little
of that valuable discovery, the GOLDEN CEMENT, inside the
false hair, it will stick tight on the bead, and not move, as if it had
grown there, without having occasion for any fastening. The Faculty
have, of late, found out that persons who wear false hair fastened
by springs, strings, or any other tightness, makes a mark round the
bead, and prevents the blood from circulating, and subjects the
wearers to head.aches, giddiness, apoplexy, and other complaints; but
by using that great discovery, the Golden Cement, the false hair will
be worn comfortably (and Is as pure and innocent as gold), and the
wearer will not be subject to the above complaints. There are several
krir.dressers who fasten the false hair with paste, gums. &c. which,
%hen plaistered on the head, are also unhealthy, as they stop tie
circulation of the pores; and besides, it is not safe, for if a gentleman
takes his hat off, hr has a chance to take the false bait with it, as they
do rot keep the false hair tight to the head ; but when the false hair is
is,teced with the Golden Cement, nothing will remove it from the
eta', unless taken off purposely.
Particulars are in the direction, so as any lady or gentleman may
u.e it themselves with ease in a moment; and if any gentleman will
f.nrour the Proprietor with a call, he will show him how to fasten the
false hatr, and will convince hint that the ('olden Cement is the most
valuable article for the purpose.
-,1!,", persona wearing artificial teeth, by putting a little of the
Goo.en Cement on the top of the false teeth, they will stick t • the
i:enr, without any other fastening. There are several ladies and
zentlemen who wear whole top sets of artificial teeth, with no other
Listening but a little Golden Cement.
