SCARIFICO.--Dr. BLINKORN, M.R.S.V.P., writes:--"I have analysed a
sample of 'Scarifico' sent me, and I find it a hap-hazard compound, in
which suspended fats, brick-dust, fuller's earth, road-sweepings, and
the bi-phosphates of soda are indiscriminately mixed. I cannot say
whether it would be found a 'comfortable and cleansing preparation for
the infant's skin,' as claimed by the proprietors, but should be more
inclined to recommend it as an 'efficient mud-remover from cart-wheels
and cleaning of ships' foul bottoms,' to its capabilities for which
purposes they also direct the attention of their customers."

L16,000 URGENTLY wanted for a few hours in a
friendly spirit. As every confidence will be placed in the lender,
no inquiries will be made or expected. Moreover, this being a
purely unprofessional, but strictly business transaction, as between
gentleman and gentleman, no amount of interest will be objected to,
and no agents will be treated with. N.B.--If lender is unable at a
moment's notice to raise so large a sum, a few shillings in advance
per postal order, if merely as a guarantee of good faith, can be
forwarded on account, and will be acknowledged with thanks.
