FOR THE GROWTH AND EMBELLISHMENT OF
THE HUMAN HAIR.
XTIDDLEWOOD'S GENUINE BOTANIC OIL,
LU. produces a luxuriant growth, and prevents the hair
falling off, or turning gray to extreme old age ; its superior
efficacy is indisputable, in many hundred experiments it has
been proved to restore the Hair when every other application
had failed. J. M. is aware, that the Public, in us ng various
oils, having no reference or recomytendation but the adver-
tisement, are not unfrequtntly mu& disappointed. From the
proofs, and the distinguished preference given to the Botanic
Oil, the proprietor cal have no hesitation in saying it is
the only Hair Oil, in whicif the Public have confidence; the
low price charged for the Botanic Oil has induced many fami-
lies to use it in common;as pomatum ; and the Public may
depend, that such are the emollient properties of tho3otanic
Oil, that the Hair and scalp will be preserved in a Maltby
state, from infancy to old age.
Price, in covt red Jars, 2s. to ss. ; in Bottles, highly per-
fumed, for the Toilet, 10s. Vegetable Soap, 6d. and is.,
and ss. and 10s. per dozen.
To prevent imposition by the sale of spurious articles, the
Public are recommended to purchaise at the proprietor's,
Parker-street, Liverpool, or of the appointed Agents,
Mr. T. Sharpe, 41, Bishopsgate, within London; Mr. T.
Forsters, 22, Anglesea-street, Dublin, where it may be had
with the customary allowance of 14 for a dozen.

LONDON CAOUTCHOUC COMPANY.
Established by Act of Parliament.
rlr HE Association, under the above title, was formed in
1 1837, principally for the working of several patents, for
the application of caoutchouc, the Indian name for Indian
Rubber, which was known to be of great public utility. The
company's operations have since been attended with the de-
sired success, as can be proved by numerous testimonials,
from competent judges, confirmatory of Afie excellence and
efficiency of the several articles manufactured and sold by
them, and of which the following is a list :
PATENT ELASTIC INDIA RUBBER WEBS, viz. :
SURGICAL BANDAGES.—The elasticity of these bandages
renders them of infinite value in most surgical cases, especi-
ally as any required degree of lightness, porosity, or modifi-
cation of the elastic pressure, may be obtained. It is an
error to suppose that they are beating, since it is the elastic
property of the India Rubber only which is here employed,
and not its impermeable quality as a varnish.
BRACES, GARTERS, WAIST BELTS, SHOULDER STRAPS,
GLOVE TIES, &C.—These are so generally known, that it is
unnecessary to say further, than, at the company's ware-
houses, an extensive stock, embracing every-variety of pat-
tern and texture, is always to be found.
ELASTIC LADIES' STAYS, LADIES' BOOTS, &C.—The ad-
mirable fitness of elastic webs for these purposes is self-evi-
dent. The ingenuity and beauty of the manufacture pecu-
liarly adapt them for ladies boots, which may be put on
without buttons or ties, and yet fit closely to the ankle.
They are, however, not more impervious than others, the
elastic property of the Indian Rubber being the only one
used in this fabric.
ELASTIC SADDLE GIRTHS.—The important advantages
gained by the use of these are-Ist. Securit, against the
saddle slipping or turning round. 2d. Security agains the
girths breaking by any violent exertion of the horse • and
3d, By their elasticity, allowing the horse the free use Of his
muscles, and avoiding that hurtful compression which, in
the common girths, does not admit of the animal making a
full inspiration when required.
PATENT ELASTIC BANDS FOR DRIVING
MACHINERY, &c.
The constant succession of scientific endeavours to facili-
tate giving regular motion to machinery, and the enormous
outlay of capital involved in these endeavours, prove the im-
mense importance of the subject in the estimation of our
manufacturers and engineers. The bands, still extensively
in use, made of leather, or gut, only partly answer the end
proposed. They are continually slipping over the pulleys
they carry, especially after having been some time in use,
and become stretched, the consequence is, an irregularity in
the motion of the machine, which materially affects the
value of the work it produces. The elastic bands com-
pletely remedy this defect. There is less friction on the axis
from the diminution of pressure, consequently more spindles
may be driven with the same power. It has been estimated,
that in factories where spinning is carried on, whether in
flax, cotton, silk, or woollen, manufacturers will be gainers of
13 per cent. by adopting the elastic bands, and the work will
be very superior in quality.
WATERPROOF CLOTH AND GARMENTS, AND
AIR-PROOF GOODS.
These articles are well known. The cloth manufactured
by the company is of superior quality, free from disagreeable
smell, and warranted to be perfectly waterproof. Every
variety of cloth garments, such as coats, cloaks, capes, ham-
mer-cloths, over-ails, and airproof goods, namely, beds, pil-
lows, cushions, and swimming belts, will be found at the
company's warehouse, either for home consumption or ex-
portation.
INDIA RUBBER OR WATERPROOF CANVAS,
for tarpauliug, oat tilts, rick cloths, buckets, &c. The
pliability and elasticity of the substance used in waterproofing
canvas, prevents its cracking when exposed to the weather,
besides it is not liable to the same objection as tarred cloth
—of difficulty of separating when folded.
CAOUTCHOUC TUBES FOR ENGINE PIPES OR
HOSE.
They are perfectly water tight, and will not communicate
any deleterious or disagreeable quality to any liquid which
?asses through them. The price of India Rubber hose is
ess than that of leather. Every variety of size can be fur
shed.

BLOCK AND SHEET RUBBER.
Block rubber, for stationers' purposes, sheet rubber, rub-
ber for billiard table cushions, &c. are articles manufactured
by the company, of very superior quality, and they may be
prepared of any size required.
CAOUTCHOUC PASTE.

This preparation, if applied to new boots or shoes, effectu-
ally prevents the water from penetrating the leather ; it
answers admirably for leather heads of carriages, as it allows
of a fine polish over it, and softens the leather, when d.y and
hard, after exposure to wet.
INDIA RUBBER VARNISHES AND SOLUTIONS.
These are prepared either for the purpose of attaching two
substances together, or making waterproof any surface to
which they are applied.
CAOUTCHOUC PAINT.
This paint may be properly called anti-corrosive, inasmuch
as it is, from its composition, almost indestructible, and as
no metallic pigment is used in its manufacture, for outside
painting of houses and ships, and as a protecting covering or
coating for ironwork, it is invaluable.
The undersigned respectfully announces, that, having been
appointed by the London Caoutchouc Company, their sole
Agent in Lancashire, for the sale of the various articles of
their manufacture, enumerated above, he has opened for that
purpose a Warehouse, in Derby Buildings, James-street,
Liverpool, where a full assortment of the said goods and
patterns will be constantly kept, and orders for home con-
sumption and exportation punctually attended to.
