TO GROCERS, DRUGGISTS, &c.

BROWN and POLSON beg respectfully to introduce to
the notice of the Public their REFINED PATENT
POWDER STARCH, which for strength, purity, colour,
and the imparting a fine, glossy finish, surpasses any Starch
now in use. _

Let it only be compared with any other, and they have no
doubt that every person so trying it will be convinced that it
is the best and most profitable in the market.
B. and P. beg to direct attention to the Certificate of that
eminent Chemist, Dr. Fyfe, of Edinburgh, in corroboration
of their statement : _ _ _

Brown and Poison's Patent Powder Starch, unequalled
for strength and purity, the best and most profitable in the
market.—l hereby certify that I have submitted to Chemical
investigation the Starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown
and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure
article; consequently free from any ingredient that would act
injuriously even on the finest Fabrics. grom trials, con-
ducted with it under my own superintendence, I have found
that in Starching it goes much farther than the best kinds of
Patent Starch ; that it gives an equally fine finish, and that
articles starched with it are not liable to lose their stiffness.
Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the Starch,
in all its stages, I am satisfied that P&tato Flour is not used
in its manufacture.

IMPROVED ARROWROOT,
Warranted free of Potato, proven by the most competent
judges to be equal in all respects to the finest West Indian,
(as the annexed certificate from the celebrated Dr. Fyfe will
show,) consequently as well adapted as a lightsome and nu-
tritious article of food for Invalids and Infants; and makes
excellent Blanc Mange without any admixture of Isinglass
or Gelatine.
Sold by the principal Apothecaries, Italian Warehouse-
9dn, and Grocers, in half pound and one pound packages, at
per pound.

Edinburgh, 25th June, 1842.
Messrs. Brown and Poison's IMP ARROWROOT,
the manufacture P
of which I have inspected, is prepared
without any admixture of Potato Flour. It possesses all the
qualities of West Indian Arrowroot, and therefore may be
used as an equally wholesome and nutritious article of food.

of the Public for the above preparationsflielebrated for their
superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for
the respectful acknowledgments of the Manufacturers, who
beg leave particularly to CAUTION their Friends and Cus-
tomers in general against an imposition continually practised
by unprincipled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCH CVEPPE'S
manufacture. The imitations contain no alkali, and are alto-
gether destitute of those medical qualities which have contri-
buted so materially to establish the credit of the former, and
to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.

-nIELEFELD'S IMPROVED
PAPIER 'ACHE is
.1-1 the best material for the above purpos4;and is daily
becoming more n•eneral as its merits become better known.
Its extreme hardness.
durability, and strenith, its sharp un•
dercutting and forcible relief, its lightness, the rapidity with
which it may be fixed, and finally its cheapness, are qualities
which eminently distinguish it above every other composition
It has been patronised by Her Majesty, the Hon. Commis-
sioners of Board of Works and by many of the highest of the
Nobility, Gentry, and Architects of the day ; and has been
used at the Royal Palacerincis, Houses of Parliament, British
Museum, most of the P
P' l Club Houses, Haymarket
and Liver Theatres, Pantheon Bazaar, and many of the finest
Churches, Public and Private Buildings throughout the
Kingdom, and in several first-rate Steam Vessels.
The following are among the many adaptations of this Ma-
terial :—Ceiling Flowers, Ventilators, Panels and Cornices,
Capitals of Columns, Trusses, Brackets, Festoons, and Ro-
settes; Gothic Panels, Crockets, Finials, Corbels, Bosses,
Pendants, Organ ,Screens, and Tracery , Picture and
Glass Frames, Window Cornices, Consoles, several•sizes of
the Royal Arms, and
a great variety of other Ornaments.
Plain Ceiling's and Walls can be elaborately enriched in a few
hours, a valuable
quality for Steam Vessels ; and the Mate-
rial is sufficiently pliable to give with the strain of the tim-
bers without the least injury.
