[Advertisement.J-CAUTiON.-BEAR'S GREASE.-j. A TKI N- SON, importer of the Genuine BEAR'S GREASE, respectfully caut- tions the public., against the numerous counterfeits of the above article ; many of these counterfeits are sold as low as Is., and are only lard, marrow, &c., and some are very injurious to the hair. Thle high estirnation this article haslongbeldfo; the gaowth of hair, and the remark of a celebrated modem Lecturer on Physiology, that "Bear's Grease, from the animal in its native climate, possesses very reinarkable properties for regenerating the hair," supersedes the ne- ce.sity of further remark. Sold by the importer, James Atkinson, perfumer, 44, Gerrard-street, Soho London, and by appointment. For the ventders' names see the advertisement. [Advertisement.1-Divinely beautiful are the effects produced by an inconmparable preparation recently discovered combining the most exqu,aise and beaatiful cosmetics. Its radicai purifying qualitiea render it infinitely superior to any cosmetic ever known. By its un- precedented oroperties, it removes freckles, pimples, spots, and all cutaneous eruptions; and tlius prevents those dtsorders which dis. organize the beauty of the female countenance. In addition to the virtues-of ROMIL.tyND's KALYDoR already adverted to, it iniparts a lhxuriant and matchless beauty to the complcxion * afrords soothilng relief to ladies nursing their off'spring. To gentlemen, after shaving, it allays the irritation and sianrtingpain, and renders theskin smooth and pfcasant. Rowland's Kalydor wid ever be found most efficielnt in its balsamic lefccts, and delectable in ifs application.
