THE Royal Family, Nobility, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
are respectfully hiformed, that PRINCE's celebrated RUSSIA
OIL is proved the only article that wiU prevent the HAIR falling
of 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 Ss. per Bottle, or a Bottle containing five unaU, 20s.

Censow—There are several Hair-deems 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 %Vest In-
dies, have been blamed for sending Counterfeit, and have bad 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 him 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 to 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 Hair-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 Coentry Hair-dressers and Shopkeepers ;
but 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 vii-
lany to call on Mr. John Good, Hair-dresser, Brighten, 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 10s. per cent. extra discount, on 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. Goad, 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 asimilar 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
away trom Brighton to London ; and the magistrnte signing the war-
rant recomtunded 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 be does not leave off his roguery he can still
be 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 punished,
with 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 hair-dresser under the piazza
who sells counterfeit, and has taken in several purchasers, by telling
them it is Genuine. Several gentlemen who have bought this trashihave
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-
sider 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-
lows 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 blowing Gentlemen, who are
the first Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom, have
sold it above twenty years:—Smyth and Nephew, 117, New Bond-
street ; Hendrie and Son, Tltchborne street; Bayley and Blew, Cock-
spur-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford.street; Newbury and Son, St Paul's;
Dicey and Sutton, Bow Church-yard; Barclay and Son, Farringdon-
street ; Butler and Son, Cheapside ; Shaw and Edwards, St. Paul's ;
Prout, 226, Strand ; Rigge and Son, 65, Cbrapside; Johnston, 61,
Cornhill ; Bolton and Lutt, Royal Exchange ; and of all other prin.
cipal Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom.
