BEAUTIFYING and PRESERVING the HAIR 

 — To preserve the humnn hair has been fur a long time the 

 unsuccessful pursuit of innumerable chemists and naturalists, 

 and although there have been various compounds professing to 

 accomplish this desirable end, still nothing really capable of 

 restoring and preserving one of the m t beautiful of Nature's 

 gifts was discovered until 1821, when the result of a series of 

 experiments, tried for a long previous period upon persons of 

 all constitu'ions, fully established the infallible virtues of 



C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S B \LM of COLUMBIA. 

 The wonderful efficacy of this inestimable compound in re- 

 storing the hair to its pristine beauty, and the certainty with 

 which its conservative agency opera es in preser\ing it, has 

 received, as might be expected, the most flavoring testimonials 

 from the grateful thousands who have experienced its effects,— 

 3s. 6d. f 6s., and lis. per bottle; no other prices.— When you 

 ask for Oldridge's Balm, never let the shopkeepers persuade 

 you to use any ocher article as a substitute.— 13, Wellington- 

 street North, Strand, a few doors above the Lyceum Theatre,

 NIGHT LIGHTS ( Registered 20th September, 1813) are sold by 

 all Grocers and Wax Chandlers throuteli<»et the country, at 6a. 

 per box. The sale of the above, amounting at the present hme 

 to many tons weekly, shows that tl^v meet with the approba- 

 tion of the public ; any description of them is therefore unne- 

 cessary. The object of this advertisement is, to request pur- 

 chasers to 'examine the name on the boxes, so as to insure taeir 

 getting what they intend. - aa 



Night Lights are liable W to last the time that they protess 

 (frequently going out an hour or two after lighting); to w 

 affected by the temperature of the room they are burnt in; w 

 be injured by keeping any length of time, and to have an un- 

 pleasant smell. The manufa {n consider that, by use oi 

 materials secured to th^n b ral patents, and by Ion 5 Tj 



perience in the manufacture, that they have overcome tnes» 

 difficulties ; and they therefore bag, that should any attempw* 

 substitutes be recommendeS/th may be carefully compareu
