FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION, AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDtEWOOD'S BOTANIC or FAMILY HAIR
OIL has stood the test of thirty years, and is patro-
nised by the most illustrious personages. It is held in high
estimation at the Toilet as a Family Hair Oil ; it is of in-
estimable worth, and will preserve the Hair from infancy to
old age. J. M. need not caution the Public. The Hair
Oils by which the country is inupdated are already cried
down by persons who have, in all probability, supplied the ;
the trash, as so represented, is injurious in the extrem the
dryness it produces, as well as turning the Hair y, not
unfrequently produce headache. The Bohm' o amily Oil
is distinguished from every other by its em it and nutri-
tious properties ; it preserves the scalp agreeably cool, and
it is an undoubted fact that, with the growth of Hair, the
health is improved. The mode now adopted for the sale of
the Botanic or Family Hair Oil will undoubtedly affect the
London trade, and probably reform it. J. M. will personally
appoint his Agents over England ; he will advertise his Oil,
stating facts only, which his Agents will warrant ; and.he
assures his customers, no fraud will be attempted by false
representation. But how different is the London trade :
the proprietors depend on the advertisement alone—the
vendors are not accountable—thus is the country inundated
with trash which no person is answerable for.
The following statement cannot fail to give a confidence of
the superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil :—From 1820 to 1830
J. Middlewood'a genuine botanic oil was interdicted by,
government, on the ground that it possessed properties,
and performed such cures of baldness, as brought it within
the mean irkg of the patent medicine act, and not until its
great utilitY in preserving the hair was submitted to parliament,
could a legal sale be effected. The petition presented, met
with the kindest attention, and the chancellor of the exche-
quer exempted it from the medicine duty, to be sold under
the denomination of hair oil. The petition was presented
by the Right Hon. Wm. Huskisson, on the 10th April, 1830,
while Mr. Goulburn was chancellor of the exchequer.
The Botanic Oil is sold at 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., in boxes ;
also, for the Toilet, 10s. per bottle.
Mr. RENNIE, Lord-street, has received a fresh supply.
Parker-street, Liverpool.

SIGHT RESTORED !
NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED !

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF,
Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury)
IS universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy
in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ac it is
completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetn sto the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other uffs, with
the most perfect safety and gratification to th consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm mil nd water, to
remove whatever secretion may have been p duced during
the night.
Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and terme it the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.

Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.)
He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system,
and recommends its universal adoption. Dated Nov. 10,1831.
G. J. GUTHRIE, Esq., F.R.S.—This eminent surgeon
strongly recommends Grimstone's Eye Snuff. See J: B.
Lachtield's, Esq., letter.
