TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.

MRS. JOHNSON, the original and only proprietor of
the celebrated " JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP," for Children Cutting their Teeth, Begs to inform the pub-
lic, and especially those ladies who have honoured her by using the
above medicine, in preference to any other, for Infants suffering from
Dentition (the pain attending which it has immediately relieved, du-
ring the experience of the hat twenty-five years) that, finding the
fatigue of preparing the said medicine greater than her health will
allow her to continue, and desirous that the Medicine may be dis-
pensed its all its original purity and effect, she has dbposed of the
secret for making the said Syrup to her friends, Messrs. Barclay and
Sons, of Farringdon-street, London, who will faithfully prepare the
ume, under her immediate direction. Mrs. Johnson, therefore, ear-
nestly requests all purchasers to take notice, that the Stamp affixed to
each bottle of the genuine *, Johnson's American Soothing Syrup,"
will hereafter contain the names of " Barclay and Sons," without
which it cannot be genuine ; and much evil may arise to Infants
from neglecting this caution, some unprincipled persons having pub-
lished spurious imitations.
Price of the Genuine JOIINSON'S SOOTHING SYRUP, 211. 9d. per
Bottle, Duty included ; and Sold by all respectable Venders of Me-
dicine.

IT is an old saying, as Tell the truth and fear nobotly."—
IT
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. fur Dying the
Hair. The Pastes and Powders are generally prepared with lime,
white lead, mercury, or other such slow poisons, wbich are injurious
to health, and troublesome to use, as they are obliged for hours to
hive cabbage leaves or wet skins on their head, 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 have them
shaved of, 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 innccent, 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-
proved Russia 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
futthtr 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-
test they were a little humbugged also.
Ask Cot Prince's Improved Russia Dye, Half-a-Guinea a Bottle,
Two Bottles fur One Pound, or a Dozen for SI. Also,
TO WEARERS OF FALSE HA IR.—A Valuable Discovery
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 head, 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 headaches. 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
hair.tiressers who fasten the false hair with paste, gems. Ike. which,
when plaistered on the head, are also unhealthy, as they stop the
ctculation of the pores; and besides, it is not safe, for if a gentians
takes his hat off, he has a chance to take the bobwhite with it, as they
tlo rut keep the false hair tight to the head; but wheteihe Cake hair is
twee! ed with the Golden Cement, nothing will remove k boo the
bead, unle.s taken off purpo'eiy.
. jjrniculats are in the direction, so as any lady or gentlematmay
we t themselves with ease in a moment; and if any gentleman will
ttvuur the Proprietor with a call, he will show him bow to fasten the
tabe Lair, and will convince him that the Colden Cement is the most
valuable article fur the purpose.
.11,0, persons wearing artificial teeth, by putting a little of the
itnl.len Cement on the top of the false teeth, they will stick to the
gums without any other fastening. There are several ladies and
g.ntlernen who wear whole top sets of artificial teeth, with no other
Listening but a little Golden Cement.

Bottles for One Pound, or a Dozen for M.
