Dr. Sterling of Ambrosial Fame, proposes to tell his story at the Cooper Institute, On Tuesday Evening, Nov. 10. He will give a history of himself and his ups and downs in the struggle for success—an account of how his Secret of Ambrosia was stolen, or rather how the party who thought he was stealing it was fooled, and will talk generally of the Hair and Scalp, and how they should be treated.   

He will also prove the Wonderful Effects of the use of his celebrated Ambrosia in Producing New Hair, and making it grow to an Unprecedented Length.

The price of admission will be 50 cents, the ticket entitling the holder to one Box of Ambrosia, containing two Bottles, for an additional 50 cents, making the Lecture virtually Free. . .

Doors will open at 7 o’clock, and the story will commence at 8 o’clock.

Dodworth’s Band

will be in attendance and entertain the audience with some of their sweetest musical gems.”

COMMENT: Harvey Dodworth is conducting the orchestra at Niblo’s Garden for Coriolanus.
