Gentlemen,— Some three months since, finding my hair 

 falling off by marly hsndsfuL, snd inv head approaching bald- 

 ne*s ; in fact, being quite bald at the crown aud on the sides, I 

 was induced, through my hairdresser, Mr. Beach, of this piece, 

 to try your BALM OF COLUMBIA, and after persevering with 

 four bottles, according to your directions, I found a new crop 

 produced, which has now restored my head to its former 

 appearance. As 1 had apprehended a total los* of mv hair, I 

 feel it due to the virtues of your Balm of Columbia thus pub- 

 licly to bear ray testimony. Mr. Beach, who recommended me, 

 is the same who used it successfully in Mr. Wilson's case, whoso 

 testimony you have lately published. Mr. B is a Lymingtou. 

 man ; I am also a native of that place, though for the last ten 

 >ear» in practice here as a solicitor.— Yours, <fcc. H. Rice* 

 "To Messrs. C. * A Oldridge." 



For the strengthening of weak hair, its restoration when 

 thinly scattered, or falling off and consequent general improve- 

 ment and embellishmtnt, the powers of OLDRIDGE'8 BALM 

 OF COLUMBIA are known by the continually increasing 

 numbers who are testing Us merits, as powerfully and unfail- 

 ingly efficient.— Price 3s. r; . Gj.. snd lis. i>er bottle. No other 

 prices are genuine. AsU for Oldiii>gi's Halm, and never be 

 persuaded to use any other article as a substitute.

NEW BloW ROOMS FOR BK1)S I K AD-. 



HEAL and SON have erected some extensive 

 Warerooms for the purpose of keeping every description 

 of Bedsteads. In Iron their stock will include every soft 

 manufactured, from the cheap Stump, for servants' use, to the 

 handsomely ornamented tubular- pillared Canopy, as well as 

 lirass Bedsteads of every shape and pattern ; and in wooden 

 Bedsteads their Rooms are sufficiently extensive to allow them 

 to tit up a variety, both in Polished Bich and Mahogany, of 

 Fourpost, Canopy, snd French, and also of Japanned Bed- 

 steads—in fact, to keep in Stock every sort of Bedstesd that is 

 made; and they have aI»o a general i rtment of Furniture, 

 Chintzes, Damask*, and Dimities, so as to n nder their Stock 

 complete for the Furnishing of Bedsteads as well as Bedding. 

 And without attempting to compete with the prices at which 

 the lowest class of Furniture is sold, and which is fit for no 

 useful purpose, their new Stock will be found to be priced on 

 the same principle by which their Bedding trade has, during 

 the last 80 years, been so successfully extended, and the goods, 

 whether of a plain and simple pattern, or of a handsomer and 

 more expensive character, are of well-seasoned materials, sound 

 workmanship, and warranted.
