Sims makes a discovery. Now Mr. G. R. Sims, the famous poet and dramatist, journalist and playwright, and the writer of "Mustard and Cress" over the signature of "Dagonet" as many people now, is one of the busiest man in the kingdom, but hastily affixing his signature to a letter, he looked up an extended a characteristically cordial welcome to the interview of the Daily Mail –" In '86 I found that I was rapidly going bald. Not seriously, you understand, not the sending out was sufficiently marked to set me thinking out a remedy. I went to two specialists, both of whom cheerfully assured me that I should be absolutely bald in two years. "Then I discovered the preparation which is known as ‘Tatcho'. I found that I had hit upon a remedy capable of working wonders. Look at my hair now ; isn't that convincing evidence? In time people got to know that I had discovered a restorer ; than the trouble began. "Letters in thousands poured into me from men and women in every quarter of the world, from all parts of the kingdom, from America, India, Africa, China and Australia. " In consequence, I said to myself why should this thing go on? If the public wants my hair restorer, the public shall have it ; but the demand must be met in the ordinary businesslike way ; and with the assistance of a number of gentlemen possessing the necessary facilities, that has been accomplished." The Company has decided to make the distribution of 20,000 large trial bottles of "Tatcho". 4/6 Bottles Post Free for 1/10. Provided this coupon is sent to was within one month we bind ourselves to send one of the 20,000 large trial bottles of Mr. George R.

Beerbohm Tree. The Times says: - A handsome volume, full of interesting contributions… beginning with some verses by the poet Laureate on the wreck of the Stella. It also contains poems by Mr. Swinburne, Mr. Henley, Sir Lewis Morris, Mr. John Davidson, Mr. Stephen Phillips, Mr. William Watson, Mr. Watts-Dunton and Miss Violet Hunt. Naturally Mr. Tree has drawn contributions from our leading playwrights; and he is able to number among his collaborators many other distinguished men and women of letters as well, including Mrs. Humphry Ward, Mr. Andrew Lang, Mr, Anthony Hope, Mr. Sidney lee (on a congenial Shakespearean subject), Mr. Birrell, Mr. Burnand, and Sir Walter Besany. Among the poems and stories and essays and fragments which these writers and many more have sent to Mr. Tree are scattered drawings and reproductions of pictures by a long list of noted painters and draughtsmen beginning with the President of the Royal Academy. Nor do the attractions of the volume and here, for there are among its pages no less than nine original compositions by nine and leading musical composers. Furthermore, its contribution is accompanied by the contributor's photograph, and in many cases with a specimen of handwriting too. In short, the souvenir appeals like to ear, the mind, and the eye ; and it's purchasers will have the added satisfaction of knowing that the price and it goes to swell the funds of the hospital.

For a short time only. A new 50-Guinea upright Grand. Chappell Piano. On terms similar in plan to The Times "Encyclopaedia Britannica". 35 monthly payments £1 10s each. Established 1808. Style IV New Iron Framed. 50-Guinea upright Grand Pianoforte. Height, 4ft, 2in. Length, 4ft 8in Depth, 2 ft. The action of this instrument is perfect in touch and gives the performer every facility in producing gradations in tone from the most delicate pianissimo to the loudest sforzando. The sostenuto, or tone-sustaining capacity, is really surprising, and the under dampers silence the strings as soon as the fingers leave the keys. Quite an Artiste's piano, and unquestionably the best in the market at the price. Carriage free in London. Chappell & Co beg to announce their after-season of second-hand Pianofortes. These instruments, which have had but very little wear, are being offered at exceptionally low prices for cash, as they must be cleared to make room for new stock.
