"REAL WONDERS! SEE AND BELIEVE. Have you seen THE BEAUTIFUL DOLPHIN, _The Performing Pig, and the Mermaid_? If not, pray do! as the exhibition contains more variety than any other in England. Those ladies and gentlemen who may be pleased to honour it with a visit will be truly gratified. TOBY, _The Swinish Philosopher, and Ladies' Fortune Teller_.

The "real head of Mahoura, the cannibal chief," was a skull, with a dried skin over it, and a black wig; "but it looked sufficiently terrific," says Hone, "when the show-woman put the candle in at the neck, and the flame illuminated the yellow integument over the holes where eyes, nose, and a tongue had been."
