County. 



" GreatWestem Steamship, June 6, 1844.— The cabin of the 

 Great Western has been regularly supplied with Lka & Per- 

 kins's Worcestershire Sauce, which is adapted for every variety 

 of dish, from turtle to beef, from salmon to steaks, to all of 

 which it gives a famous relish. I have great pleasure in recom- 

 mending this excellent Sauce to Captains and Passengers for 

 its capital flavour, and as the best accompaniment of its kind 

 for a voyage. (Signed) Jamks Hoskkn."

 epicurean age is Lea and Perrins's Worcestershire Sauce, adapted 

 to fish, flesh, fowl, and soup: giving a zest far superior to the 

 lone-established favourites; more wholesome and of less cost."

BURBIDGE and HEALY'S COOKING APPA- 

 RATUS, combining Sylvester's Patents.— This Cooking 

 Apparatus is believed to possess greater general advantages 

 than any yet submitted to the Public, both as regards strength 

 of material and workmanship ; in fact, the laws of heat are so 

 applied as to produce the greatest effect with the least consump- 

 tion of fuel, without destruction to the Apparatus ; and B. & H. 

 can safely recommend it, from experience, as unquestionably 

 superior to anything of the kind hitherto made. A Prospectus 

 can be forwarded, upon application, detailing particulars and 

 prices, to 130, Fleet-street. 



SURPRISING EFFICACY of "PARR'S LIFE 

 PILLS." 



Testimonial just received by the Hibernia from America.— Ht. 

 C. STEANK, 184, Fulton-street, sole agent for Brooklyn, L.I.— 

 An instance of the singular efficacy of Parr's Lifk Pills, 

 which merits particular notice, occurred in the person of a 

 lady, residing at Brooklyn, of consumptive make, who had 

 been afflicted for upwards of six years with very great and ge- 

 neral debility, headache, flatulence, faintings, and all the effects 

 originating in an impaired constitution. Country air was tried, 

 but to little advantage. She complained of weariness and pain 

 on the least motion ; her bowels were sometimes constipated, 

 and at other times lax, and never regular. At this period, she 

 was recommended to try Parr's Life's Pills, when, no less 

 astonishing than true, before she had finished two boxes, an 

 entire and perfect cure was the result. To such, nothing can 

 equal this antidote, as it imparts tone and strength to the 

 stomach, and operates so mildly, that the most delicate of either 

 sex can take them with the greatest safety. — Yours truly, 



To T. Roberts &Co., April, 1844. C. Stkank. 



These and hundreds of other cases of decided cures, attested 

 on the highest authority, and already published, occupy up- 

 wards of 150 pages of letterpress. These Testimonials are pub- 

 lished periodically, and may be had on application at any 

 respectable medicine vendor's. The cures in many instances 

 were effected after all other means had failed, and they thus 

 establish the claims of Parr's Lifb Pills in being considered 

 the best medicine in the world. 



CAUTION TO THE PUB LIC— Beware of spurious imitations 

 of the above Medicine. None are genuine unless the words 

 " Parr's Lifk Pills" are In WHITE LETTERS on a RED 

 GROUND, engraved in the Government Stamp, pasted round 

 each box ; also the fac-simile of the signature of the proprietors, 

 ••T.ROBERTS & Co., Crane-court, Fleet-street, London," on 



the directions. 



POTTS'S PATENT for HANGING PICTURES- 

 — •• Artis est celare artem."— It is seldom that this deside- 

 ratum is so successfully carried out as in the above Invention- 

 by its combining an Architectural Cornice Moulding with 

 means to suspend the largest Pictures. Specimens at 

 Nottingham's, 6, St. Bene't-place.Gracechurch-street.

L ROWLAND & SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London.— 

 " Percy Place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, 1844. Gkntlb- 

 mkv.-I think it but an act of justice to inform you of the 

 benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar 

 Oil. About six months ago I found my hair getting daily more 

 weak and thin, and much discoloured from a practice I had 

 adopted of wetting it continually; fearing that I should 

 lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar 

 Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the 

 result is, that my hair is now perfectly restored and much 

 improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, 

 dark and glossy; it also curls freely without the use of 

 paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have 

 warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an excellent resto- 

 rative and preservative for the Hair. As I have an objection to 

 see my name in print, I beg you will not publish it ; but you 

 are at liberty to show this letter, or make any other use you 

 please of it, and refer applicants to me if necessary, in proof of 

 the efficacy of your Macassar Oil. Your Obt. Servant *" 



ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the 

 Hair; prevents it from falling off or turning Gray ; changes 

 Gray Hair to its original colour; frees it from Scurf and Dan-
