The late Mr. Sergeant Copley's wig-maker begs leave to inform gentlemen
of the profession, that he has completely succeeded in overcoming
the difficulty so long complained of by gentlemen at the bar, who are
desirous of _turning_ without discomposure; for proof whereof he refers
by permission to the Solicitor General and the Chief Justice of Chester,
who, for a long time, could not turn at all, but now revolve perfectly
at ease.

WARREN'S BLACK-RAT BLACKING.
CHARLES WARREN, of CHESTER-PLACE, with the utmost diffidence, publicly
announces his successful discovery. By the first application of his
varnish to BOOTS, he saw his own face in them, with a Judge's wig on his
head; and he assures his old friends, who he knows will take his word
for it, that the reflection was so strong, it almost knocked him back.
He earnestly desires their approbation, and solicits their favour in his
new shop. He humbly begs they will support him as much as they can. His
going round among strangers is insupportable to him, unless he can get a
few of his former friends to accompany him.

GOLDEN OINTMENT FOR THE EYES. This invaluable
Ointment enables the patient to see in the dark.
(CASE.)
DEAR SIR; "Keswick, Cumberland, 19th July, 1821.
"Your invaluable ointment being strongly recommended to me some years
ago, I was induced to try a box. Its effects were astonishing!--I
immediately looked two ways at once, and saw my way clear to the
Laureateship. I have seen in the dark ever since! Without its powerful
operation I could never have obtained the degree of LL.D. Please to send
some in the usual way by _Van_, as I find it utterly impossible to live
without it, and recommend it to all my relations.
"I am, dear Sir, your's,
"R. SOUTHEY, Esq. LL. D.
"Poet Laureate; Member of the Royal Spanish Academy; of the Royal
Spanish Academy of History; of The Royal Institute of the Netherlands;
of the Cymmodorion, &c. Author of Wat Tyler, Joan of Arc, Minor Poems."
==> Prepared in _Crown_ boxes, by Mr. GEORGE KING, No. 4, at the
Toy-shop, Constitution-hill, near the bottom.
