Has much pleasure in announcing to his Friends and the Public generally,
that (in consequence of the decease of his late foreman) he has succeeded
in engaging from London a Gentleman of acknowledged taste, ability, and
experience, to superintend the cutting department of his business. He
therefore feels the fullest confidence in soliciting the continued
patronage of his Friends, the Gentry, and Inhabitants of Birmingham and
its vicinity, respectfully assuring them, that all orders with which he
may be favoured will be executed in a style of superiority and fashion,
not to be surpassed by any establishment at the West end of the
metropolis.
To the Ladies, W. B. R. requests particularly to observe, that, having
for five years had the management of a business in Bond Street, London,
in which
LADIES RIDING HABITS
formed a leading feature, and much conduced to its celebrity, he can
promise without reserve, that their commands in this department shall be
executed in a manner equal, if not superior, in taste and elegance, to
the most reputed houses in the kingdom.

RESPECTFULLY informs the Public that he receives Patients, of either sex,
labouring under mental or nervous diseases, into his Establishment, on
terms which cannot fail to meet the approbation of persons desirous of
placing their friends, who may be so circumstanced, in so comfortable and
pleasing a retreat.
The well known beauty and variety of the Gardens and Pleasure Grounds,
and the entire adaptation of the House and Premises to the purposes of an
Asylum, render an elaborate description unnecessary; suffice it to say,
there is everything that can be desired of this nature.
The Proprietor resides in and conducts the Establishment with properly
qualified Assistants; the female department is under the superintendence
of Mrs. and Miss LEWIS, who devote all their time to the health and
comfort of the patients, and whose qualifications in this respect are
well known in Birmingham and its neighbourhood.
Dr. EVANS is the consulting Physician. Mr. FREER and Mr. HEELEY,
Surgeons, one of whom visits the Patients daily.
The situation is extremely desirable, the Vauxhall Station of the Grand

TO LADIES VISITING BIRMINGHAM:--
AT this House, (conducted upon the most equitable principles, and
established for a long time with yearly increasing patronage,) the old
system of trading is adopted; the price of each article being marked in
plain figures, from which no deviation is ever allowed.
Its claim upon the patronage of the Public, is the undeviating cheapness
at which all articles, whether of British, Continental, or Eastern
manufacture are offered to Purchasers.
The Inhabitants of the neighbouring counties, who make their purchases in
Birmingham, will at all times find a large and carefully chosen Stock of
the most substantial, well-manufactured
SILKS, SHAWLS, FURS,
BLANKETS, FLANNELS, COUNTERPANES,
RIBBONS,
GENUINE IRISH LINENS AND LAWNS.
Where purchases are made by Gentlemen, or other Persons, for Friends in
the country, which fail to give satisfaction, the money is invariably
returned, excepting where an article is lessened in value, by being
separated from the piece.

R. SIMS,
(TEN YEARS ASSISTANT TO MR. ENGLISH, COLMORE ROW,)
SURGEON DENTIST,
NO. 13,
_UNION PASSAGE_, _NEW-STREET_,
BIRMINGHAM,
Returns his sincere acknowledgments to the Inhabitants of Birmingham and
its vicinity, for the liberal support that has been conferred upon him
since his commencing Practice, and trusts that his having had Ten Years'
experience with Mr. English, during which he had nearly the whole of the
Mechanical Department entrusted to his care, will still entitle him to
that support and patronage which has hitherto been awarded to him.
In consequence of some unskilful pretenders having put themselves forward
to public notice as adepts in the above art, he thinks it necessary to
state that he never ties in teeth, which is the most that these
pretenders can ever accomplish; his superior Gold Plates never in any
instance require the painful and most injurious operation of tying in;
and he assures them they will wear more years than the spurious bone
teeth, which they put forth to the public, will last months, at a less
charge, and with greater comfort to the wearer.

RICHARD FARMER,
Manufacturer,
With the greatest deference submits to the attention of his Friends and
the Public the subjoined Documents, as flattering Testimonies of the high
estimation in which the above very superior and much approved Articles
are held:--
_From_ SIR JOHN CONROY, _Secretary to_ HER ROYAL HIGHNESS
THE DUCHESS OF KENT.
"Sir John Conroy is honoured with the DUCHESS OF KENT'S command to
acquaint Mr. Farmer, that he has permission to use Her Royal
Highness's Name and Arms, as Manufacturer of Permanent Elastic Spring
Hygeian Beds to Her Royal Highness.
"Malvern, Sept. 13, 1830."
"Sir John Conroy is to acknowledge the receipt of the Bed and
Mattress of Mr. R. Farmer's invention, which he has made for the
PRINCESS VICTORIA; and Sir John is commanded by the DUCHESS OF KENT
to express Her Royal Highness's highest approval of the principle of
his Mattresses, Cushions, &c.
"Kensington Palace, Dec. 17, 1830.
"_Mr. Richard Farmer_, _&c. &c._"
_From_ CONGREVE SELWYN, Esq. _Surgeon of the Ledbury Dispensary_.
"Mr. CONGREVE SELWYN, Surgeon of the Ledbury Dispensary, begs to
offer his Testimony of the value of Mr. Farmer's invention of his
Elastic Mattresses and Cushions. The one he has sent to Mr. Selwyn
answers all the purposes for an Invalid, and is particularly
serviceable where the patient suffers from hectic fever and night
perspirations.
"Ledbury, May 2, 1834.
"_Mr. Richard Farmer_, _&c. &c._"
_From_ SIR WILLIAM B. CAVE, Bart.
"Stretton, Atherstone, July 22, 1835.
"Sir WM. B. CAVE has much satisfaction in informing Mr. Richard
Farmer, that the Elastic Steel Spring Bed which he purchased from Mr.
F. has fully answered every expectation he had formed of it. Sir. W.
C. lay upon it for five months without ever being able to be moved in
the least from it, and for the last six months has not been removed
from it for more than two hours at a time, and it is now as perfect
in the elasticity and strength of the springs as when he received it
from Mr. Farmer. Sir W. Cave's weight is sixteen stone and upwards.
Dr. Palmer, of Birmingham, who has been in the habit of attending Sir
W. Cave for many years, gave it as his opinion, that had he been
lying on a bed of any other description, the consequences would have
been very serious.
