'Olt lELEFELD'S BIPROVED PAPIER MACHE is
-Li the best material for the above purposes, and is daily
becoming more general as its merits become better known.
Its extreme hardness, durability, and strength, 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 Ro al Palaces,
y .Houses of Parliament, British
Museum, most of the principal 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 Fronts, Screens, and Tracery , Picture and
Glass Frames, Window Cornices,
.Consoles, several sizes of
the Royal Arms, and a great variety of other Ornaments.
Plain Ceilings and Walls can be elaboratelyr enriched in a few.
hours, a valuable quality for Steaml essels ; and the Mate-
rial
is sufficiently pliable to give with the strain of the tim-
bers without the least injury.
A Quarto Volume is published, price Three Guineas, con-
taining nearly 1000 Designs of Articles on Stock, and ready
for Sale, with a Tariff of Prices; also a Pattern Book for
Upholsterers, price Hs.' or loose plates at 6d. each.

WAREHOUSE,

MIDDLEWOOD begs to inform his Friends and the
el ® Public be will during the present season be supplied
with the choicest Dessert Fruits. His Pines, Grapes, &c.
are supplied by some of the best growers in the kingdom.
His Shaddocks and Forbidden Fruit are selected from the
same gardens as those he had the honour to supply her Ma-
jesty the Queen with, and now in great perfection. This
Fruit is a good substitute for Peach Ice, being equally cool
and grateful, and more nutritious than any other Fruit : is
particularly recommended to invalids. Preserved Ginger,
Limes, Tamarinds, Marmalades, &c. Pickles and Sauces in
great variety.

VEGETABLE OIL SOAP.
J. M. begs respectfully to recommend to Ladies and Gen-
tlemen visiting watering places or travelling; this emolient
Soap. It renders the hardest water soft, andmakes the skin
white, soft, and healthy ; eradicates roughness and redness ;
and will preserve the complexion in any climate. The great
objection to soap is its corrosive properties. The Vegetable
Oil Soap is not only free from those properties but highly
nutritious—is an invaluable acquisition at the toilet and in
the nursery. It preserves the delicate texture of the skin,
and its use is highly recommended. And to gentlemen to
shave, who have a tender or irritable skin, it is invaluable.
J. M. is indebted to Admiral Murray for the following testi-
monial:—" 7th January, 1821. A. M. can, from his own
experience for three or four years, testify that the Vegetable
Soap is the best he ever used in shaving; also for chapped
hands it is truly valuable."
The genuine BOTANIC OIL has an equal claim to pa-
tronage. Its utility has never been equalled, in renovating
and producing a luxuriant growth of hair. The testimonials
are too numerous for an advertisement. In addition to which,
the Proprietor begs to observe, during more than twenty
years' use, his hair has not suffered the least decline.
the The
best proof the public can have of superior properties of
the above articles, is the use of a single package; as a com-
parison with other articles.
