CAUTION.—HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
MR. LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the
liberal patronage he has received for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them
against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted
upon them, under the various denominations of " Best
Patent Starch," "Best White Patent Stare/Is' •' Patent
Glazed Starch," " Satin-faced Starch," " ;perior Patent
Starch," &c., &c., &c. ; these invariably d' .ppoint the con-
sumer, and greatly injure him (the o Patentee) by an
inferior article being imposed on them his make.
It is a fact, well-known, that it a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a patent for his in • . tion before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S PATENT STARCH, other makers being
ignorant of his present mode of preparing it ; and if such
were not the case, their premises and situation would not be
suitable. _ _

Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested
not to be deceived by Dealers who would attempt to palm
upon them a spurious article, because it yields the vender a
greater profit, and they are respectfully requested to ask for
HALL'S PATENT STARCH, and to purchase it in original
Packages, as put up at his works, of about 41bs. and 11b.
each. bearing his label with a fac simile of his signature
(LAWRENCE HALL), printed on a yellow ground, as the
spurious, for the greater deception, often bears a label printed
on yellow paper, and otherwise imitating HALL'S PATENT
STARCH,

FREEMAN'S CONCENTRATED SYRUP, OR,
SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
Patronised by her Majesty the Queen Dowager, many of
the Nobility, and most of the eminent Physicians and
Medical Men in London.
SENNA is known by all to be the best and safest aperient
medicine which mankind possesses.
Question.—Why, then, is it not used in preference and to
the exclusion of all other purgatives ?
Answer.—Because of its nauseating taste and gripj..epro-
perties.

THE man who could dispossess so invaluable a medicine
e
of these two disagreeable qualities, it s long been re-
marked, would confer a blessing on m d, to accomplish
which was considered impossible •bu has at length been
effected by the proprietor of the above reparation, in which
is contained all the active principle of senna entirely deprived
of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste that no child will refuse to
take it, and which, while it is so peculiarly adapted to infancy
and youth, is at the same time a most desirable medicine for
persons of all ages, particularly ladies and those of delicate
constitution. Let every fond mother provide herself with
this valuable Domestic Aperient, and she will have reason to
bless the day on which she became acquainted with this ME-
DICINAL NOVELTY, which is not only the best, the most
efficacious, and most agreeable purgative on earth, but is also
the cheapest medicine ever Made known, there being from
20 to 30 doses for an infant in one shilling bottle.—Prepared
only by the inventor, JOHN FREEMAN, Pharmaceutical Che-
mist, 13, Blackfriars-road, London, and sold by special ap-
pointment by Mr. LATHBURY, Chemist, Castle-street, Li-
verpool, and may be had of all respectable Druggists, in
bottles at is., 2s. 6d., and ss. each, bearing the proprietor's
signature. It will keep good in any climate, and is particu-
larly adapted to persons travelling abroad.
The following testimonial of a most eminent physician,
late a lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and
Children, is by his permission submitted to the public.
" 7, Upper Kennington-lane, Vauxhall,
Sept. 17, 1840.
" Dear Sir,—l am happy in again bearing testimony to
the value of your excellent Concentrated Syrup of Senna,
with respect to which my experience has assured me of its
absence of griping and nauseating properties, its pure and
unadulterated preparation, containing within a comparatively
small bulk the whole of the essential principle of that valuable
medicine, together with the fact of its being so efficacious as
in my opinion to supersede in a majority of cases the use of
those violent and drastic purgatives, calomel, aloes, and jalap.
These qualities, combined with the additional advantage of
its very agreeable taste, render it a most valuable aperient,
calculated not only for general domestic purposes, but which
is more particularly adapted for the lying-in room and the
nursery, inasmuch as it may be administered to children of
the tenderest age with pleasure and great advantage.
" I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
" To John Freeman " JOHN POWER, M.D.
, Esq., Blackfriars-road."
