BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT FOR ENGLAND

ANL) WALES, SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.
JOHN CLARKE and CO., 50, ISLIN ON, Liverpool,
SOLE MANUFACTURERS of the CLARKESIAN
HYDRAULIC DOUBLE 'ACTION ' ORCE and LIFT
PUMP, respectfully invite the atte , ion of Shipowners,
Merchants, Proprietors of Mines, 741, the Public generally
to their NEWLY-INVENTED MP, which, from its
simplicity of construction, is admirably adapted for Fire En-
gines, Ships Pumps, Mining Operations, and general pur-
poses : it may be applied with certain success to all works of
magnitude where Hydraulic Machines are indispensable.
The Patented invention consists in the application to Force
Pumps of a Water Chamber of any desired form, and which
may be made of Brass, Iron, or any other Metal, being di-
vided longitudinally into two compartments by a Feather,
which is cast in one piece with it, so that when the Water
Chamber is fastened by screws to an upper and lower hood,
it will be rendered perfectly secure and watertight; whilst,
by loosening the screws, the upper hood may be removed,
and the Discharge Valves examined and cleaned at the same
time by the removal of the lower hood, to which the Suction
Valves are attached : those Valves also may be examined.
This Pump is distinguished as much by the excellence of its
interior construction as by its economical arrangements, and
being capable of discharging much more Water than any
other Pump. Its efficiency has been proved by some of the
first practical authorities and experienced Engineers, who
have universally expressed their approbation of its simple
and effectual plan and mode of operation, and its application
to works of any magnitude.
The Patent Pump may be seen in operation, and-every in-
formation afforded, on application to JOHN CLARKE. & CO.

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD' S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR
OIL.

M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inestimable Oil,
d • 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 HAI , sold at Id.
each, contains testimonials of the efficacy of ie Botanic Oilj;
and also, interesting remarks upon the gikk. th and preserva-
tion of the human hair. By a Medical G tleman 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 X5O ; 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 he 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.
