-ND OTANIC, or MIDDLEWOOD'S Family HAIR OIL.
-II This Oil has stood the test of 30 years, and its superior
efficacy has never been disputed ; it is patronisied by the most
illustrious personages, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet; it gives to the weakest Hair a rich and healthy ap-
pearance, and by its cooling and etnolient properties dandriff
and every impurity of the hair and s• 1p is eradicated. The
most respectable testimonials have en repeatedly published.
Sold, in pot boxes, at 25., 3s. ~ 55., and in Family Bot-
tles, 10s. each.
J. M. is aware.that the sale of articles of the utmost utility
suffers from the prejudice occasioned by reports stating that
impositions to an alarming extent are practised by vendors of
spurious or counterfeit articles. It may be the case ; but no
prosecutions have taken place, as is usual, in such cases.
However, the Public ought to be protected against fraud.
No complaints have been made by those who use Middle-
wood's Oil. His Agents are authorised to engage that his
Oil possesses all the properties expressed in his advertise-
ments. If other Proprietors will do so, it will put a stop not
only to spurious counterfeits, but enable the Public to dis-
tinguish betwixt articles of real utility and the trash the
Public are cautioned against.

Mr. RENNIE, Lord-street, has a constant supply. Orders
addressed to the Proprietor, Parker-street, will be duly
attended to, and, 40s. or upwards, will be forwarded car-
riage free.
