TENDER FEET,

PEDESTRIANS, and thoNe afflicted with Tender
Feet, are recommended to try _ _

MEIiIEL LEATHER BOOTS AND SHOES,
which, while possessing all the qualifications of the ordinary
manufacture, in resisting damp, and in durability, have the
essential advantage of the
UPPER LEATHERS BEING PERFECTLY SOFT;

indeed, while they exhibit AND RETAIN the elasticity of kid,
they emit the evaporation of perspiration, and keep the feet in
a state of temperate coolness throughout the summer.
The Memel Leather is imported direct from Russia, and a
STOCK of BOOTS and SHOES of the material are now on view
at RICHARD CROSSLEY'S, (SOLE AGENT,)

SOUTH CASTLE-STREET,
