PATENT HEMPEN LATHE-BANDS, STRA PS OR,
BELTS, FOR TURNING, DRIVING, OR CAR-
RYING MACHINERY.
riIHE Inventor and Patentee of the above article, having
1 long experienced the heavy cost of the Bands or Straps
hitherto in general use, has, after devoting much time, and
incurring considerable expense, succeeded in providing a
Substitute, which will be found, on trial, more lasting, and
more efficient in operation, than those made of any other
material heretofore used.

After thus deliberately pronouncing the superiority of the
PATENT HEMPEN BANDS or STRAPS, which the Patentee
has it in his power to confirm, by numerous testimonials in
his posse ssion, furnished him as the results of practical ex-
perience, it can only be further necessary, to ensure the
general adoption of this valuable invention, to state to En-
gineers, Manufacturers, Millwrights, Machinists, and others
using Straps, Belts, or Bands, that they can be promptly sup-
plied to any extent, at about half of the cost of the material
in general use.
A newspaper advertisement being too circumscribed to
detail the peculiar advantages of the Patent Bands, it may
suffice to state, that their great strength, freeness from
stretching or expansion, firmness of holding, and trueness of
running, render them decidedly the best article hitherto dis-
covered for the carrying of machinery.
With the Patent Bands, the power to move is not an ob-
ject, as they can be made of any strength, of any length, and
from two inches to fourteen inches broad, the price decreasing
as the breadth increases, which must be a stronger induce-
ment to the adoption of the broad Bands in lieu of Shafts.
In case of Order, it is necessary that the overlap be included
in the length of the Bands required ; and all Orders, Letters
of Inquiry, or Requests for Reference, will be promptly
attended to by the Patentee,

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHNIENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD' S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR
OIL.
ir M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inestimable Oil,
0 • where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised by
families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet. It has been proved, by many experiments, in restor-
ing the Hair, when every other application has failed ; and
when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it reno-
vates and produces its original lustre.
Toe Proprietor's TREATISE ON HAIR, sold at ld.
each, contains testimonials of the efficacy of the Botanic Oil!;
and also, interesting remarks upon the growth and preserva-
tion of the human hair. By a Medical Gentleman in Dublin.
In answer to inquiries, J. M. respectfully informs his
Friends and the Public he is making arrangements which
will insure to the Public the Genuine Botanic Oil in all parts
of the Kingdom in its pure and unadulterated state ; and
should any doubts exist of the great utility of the Botanic Oil,
the Proprietor refers them to the decision of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and the testimonials proved before Parlia-
ment on the 10th April, 1830. J. M. also wishes to apprise
the Public of various attempts to suppress the sale of the
Botanic Oil, not by competition, but by secret means. Ven-
dors throughout the Kingdom were cautioned against selling
Middlewood's Soap and Oil, as it was subject to Medicine
Duty ; and informations were laid against the Proprietor.
J. M. acknowledges the informations, at two distant periods,
each penalty £5O ; but in case the Proprietor had sold the
above illegally, it proves the article superior to anything sold
avowedly for the same use, as no similar article was ever
charged with duty. J. M. will for the present oiler no com-
ments ; the proceedings adopted to suppress the sale is the
best possible recommendation ; and so well satisfied is go-
vernment of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, that no
further interruption will be given to the sale of the Botanic
Oil and Vegetable Soap, which will be found of more exten-
sive sale than any other similar articles.
J. M. bas substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more
convenient ; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. Gd., 55., and
in Bottles,• for the Toilet, 10s. Wholesale and Export
Orders on the shortest notice.
J. M. will engage that, where the Botanic Oil is used,
either in Public Seminaries or Families, the hair and scalp
. shall never be infected with any cutaneous disease, as ring-
worm, &c. &c., such is its einolient properties.
Orders, with references or remittances, addressed to
J. MIDDLEWOOD,
PARKER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
will be duly forwarded, with customary allowances. The
Botanic Oil is a valuable speculation, as no article can com-
pete with it as Hair Oil.
