TO CURRIERS AND OTHERS.
THREE POUNDS REWARD.
WHEREAS, JOHN THOMAS, of the Parish of
Melcombe Regis, Weymouth, Dorset, a journeyman Cur-
rier, some time since absconded from bis family, leaving a wife
and two children, infants, chargeable on the parish ; the above re-
ward is hereby offered for his apprehension, to any person who will
detain him, or give such information as shall lead to his apprehen-
sion and safe custody, to be paid by Mr. John Sturney, Acting
Overseer of the poor of the said Parish.
1)..7• The said John Thomas is about 22 years of age, five feet
nine or ten inches high, thin grown, rather pale, has dark hair, and

employ of Mr. Dawson, Currier, of Beverley, in Yorkshire.
FOR PRESh:RVI NG THE TEETH AND GUMS.
THE VEGETABLE TOOTH *POWDER has so
long been in general use that it is unnecessary to offer any fur-
ther recommendation of it. Composed. of Vegetables, without the
admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is
free from the usual objection against the use of other Dentrihces.
Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive
particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the
Teeth ; heating injuries in the former, and promoting a new enamel
(where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise
imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the gums ; and if used re-
gularly, will preserve the teeth in a sound state to old age.
Sold in boxes, at 2s. 9d. by BUTLER, Chemist, 4, Cheapside,
St. Paul's; 220, Regent-street (near the Argyle Rooms), London ;
and by the principal Medicine Venders throughout the United
Kingdom.
rr Be careful to ask for BUTLER'S Vcomatx I%OTII POWDER ;
and to observe the name and address " BUTLER, 4, Cheapside,"
are engraved on the stamp and label attached to each box of this
esteemed Dentrifice, to distinguish it from lIITTATIONS under simi
hr titles.

DETECTION ;
OR, THE CANINE UMPIRE.
• ET money—and honestly, Tom, it you can,
GBut get it by all means; for Wealth makes the man.'
This lesson well coned, Tom set out then in life,
With honour and honesty ever at strife ; •
And wanting of Meth its pristine deceit,
The vacuum supplied with unprincipled art;
And av'rice and envy the enterprise backing,
Commenc'd imitation of WAERIN'S Jet Blacking;
And sold his invention alleged, in the name
Of that by Experience long sanctioned and Fame.
Thus foisting his trash on the Public, pursuits
Destructive assail'd all his customers Boots,
On which though incessantly Labour still moil's],
The gkiss remaited dormant, the leather was apoird.
A proof of the Genuine at once to command,
From 30, the Mart of Renown in the Strand,
An Amateur ordered a dozen of Illadking;
And, that there might be no publicity lacking,
A summons sustained for recovery of debt,
haired for a purchase of Tom's assumed Jet.
Your worship, the false and the true now between,
The diff'reuce,' the Amateur said, shall be seen
Instanter, in evidence even by my Dog"
Two unpolished Boots then of Blacking hank
Were placed on the fable, and brushes applied,
When one to a mirror seeni'd truly allied.;
The other's brown shade while no art could subdoe ;
The Dog, thus distinguishing which was the true,
Now gambord his reflected figure about,
Then seeking within, his companion pull'd out
A bottle thus labell'd,—" Detection not Lacking
On base imitators of WA ROMA J 1 Blacking !"
