any cause, but of her own free will, and I have ever since,
and do still, allow her a weekly sum, as a separate mainte-
nance, I HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, that I will not be

BOTANIC, or MIDDLEWOOD'S Family HAIR OIL.
This Oil has stood the test of 30 years, and its superior
efficacy has never been disputed ; it is patronised 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 emolient properties dandriff
and every impurity of the hair and scalp is eradicated. The
most respectable testimonials have been repeatedly published.
Sold, in pot boxes, at 25., 3s. 6d., 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:streel, 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.

fill OBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, AND PATENT
It GROATS, recommended by the Faculty. Patronized
by the Queen and Royal Family.

The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of
nursing,) Invalids, and Families is particularly called to the
above Patent Articles, being the purest Farinm of the Oat

properties by a steam process.
ROBINSON'S PAT4NT BARLEY cannot be equalled
,by any article for making pore Barley Water in a few- minutes-:
all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more palatable
than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is an excel-
lent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly useful
for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious pud-
dings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, are universally
esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats
and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.
