FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.

MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR

T M. respectfully solicitsWtrial of this iuestimable Oil,
J •
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.
The Proprietor's TREATISE ON HAIR, sold at ld.
each, contains testimonials of the efficacy of the Botanic Oils;
and also, interesting remarks upon the growth and preserra-
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 offer 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. has substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more
convenient ; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. 6d., 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 emolient properties.
Orders, with references or remittances, addressed to
J. MIDDLEWOOD,
PARKER-STREET, LIVEUPOOL,
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.
