We are induced to mention this from our own observations of the superior quality and make of Hosiery which we ourselves bave had and seen purchased at Mr. COOKE'S, No. 434, Strand; who, by a small mechanical addition to his Stocking Frames (at his mauufactory), has completely remedied a general complaint of Silk Stockings not fitting well in the small of the ankle and instep.

Mr. Cooke pledges himself to the Fublic, that Stockings sold at his Shop will fit to the greatest nicety; and further, that his large stock of Hosiery of every description, for elegance, neatness, taste, and evenness of quality, stands unrivalled. The many advantages he possesses over all competitors (having his own manufactory) enables him to accommodate the Public either wholesale, retail, or export trade.

Fine Cotton Hose of the best quality and uncommonly cheap; fine and good Silk Hose, 6s. 6d.; extra, Ss. 6d.; fine Cotton, is. 6d., 28, very fiue 2s. 6d.; Merino Wool and Worsted Hose; Half Hose of every sort; Gentlemen's Elastic Drawers and Under Waistcoats, 3s. 6d.; Ladies' Elastic Court Waistcoats and Drawers, 3s. 6d.; also Under Dresses in one of superior shape, make, and quality.

The Medicinal effects of Steel, as a Strengthener and Deobstruent, have been acknowledged, for many years, to excel those of all other articles of the Ma teria Medica, To constringe and corroborate the solids, appears to be its primary operation. It raises the pulse, and renders the blood more pure; strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, and is preferable to all other remedies in cold, weak, lax, and humid habits; and in nervous disorders it has the most powerful and beneficial effects.

SEDDON'S AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL Are allowed to be the best preparation of this invaJuable Medicine, and is a discovery of the first importance to the present and succeeding ages, their happy effects being equally certaiú and permanent. So diffusely salutary, that while they restore tone to the nerves, and vigour to the entire frame, they impart a genial warmth through every fibre, exhilirate the animal spirits in such a manner, that they may fairly be said to re-animate nature. In all cases of nervous debility, relaxation, and weaknesses of the system in either sex, whether proceeding from juvenile indiscretions, hof or unhealthy climates, dissipation, excess, or any other cause whatever, they are the best, if not the only remedy. They act not as a temporary stimulous or irritation, but by gradually strengthening and renovating the constitution, exciting the healthy action of, and impart ing increased energy and vigour to, every part of the human frame.

Prepared by J. P. Seddon, and sold wholesale and retail by his ageut, Mr. Giffard, 104, Strand, Lon don, in boxes, at 78. and 228. each; retail also by most venders of Medicines in thẻ kingdom.

The Liquid is really an intrinsic article, producing more benefit to the Hair, and to the Head generally, than was ever experienced through the medium of any other recommendation. It is also singularly agreeable in the application, and in hot climates, or during the warm weather of England, it will be found to have qualities nearly exceeding belief: one in particular, that after fatigue and perspiration, it refreshes and causes a feeling similar to the effects of a bath; and after fevers, it causes the Hair to return rapidly.

These Pills are most efficacious in removing obstructions, and relieving other inconveniences to which the female frame is liable, especially those which at an early period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise, and general debility of the system. They create an appetite, correct indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous head ache, and are eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitations of the heart.

To Married Women they are recommended as the best strengtheners after bad Lyings,in, or for Debility, either proceeding from too long Suckling or frequent Miscarriages.
