CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AND NEW
YEAR'S GIFTS.
The exuberance of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces
the fair and youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of
many friends, and therefore to devote increased attention to the
duties of the Toilet. It is at this festive season that
ROWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND
BEAUTY
are more than usually essential for preserving the Hair in all its
decorative charm, the Skin and Complexion transparent and
blooming, and the Teeth in their pearl-like lustre.
The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use
by rank and fashion, and the universally-known efficacy of these
articles give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them
peculiarly ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS.
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
Is a delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation for the
Hair, and as an invigorator and purifier beyond all precedent. In
dressing the Hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so
admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, imparting a tran-
ecendant lustre, and sustaining it in decorative charm during the
heated atmosphere of crowded assemblies. Price 3s. 6d., 75.;
Family Bottles (equal to 4 small), lOs. 6d.; and double that size,
21s. per bottle.

ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,
for the Skin and Complexion, is unequalled for its rare and ines-
timable qualities, the radiant bloom it imparts to the Cheek, the
softness and delicacy which it induces of the Hands and Arms,
its capability of soothing Irritation, and removing Cutaneous
Defects, Discolorations, and all unsightly appearances, render it
indispensable to every Toilet. During the frost and bleak winds
of winter, and in cases of Chilblains, Chapped Skin, and inci-
dental Irritation, its virtues are universally acknowledged.—
Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d per bottle.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE,
compounded of the choicest and moist recherche'ingredients of
the ORIENTAL HERBAL, and of inestimable value in Preserving
and Beautifying the Teeth, Strengthening the Gums' and in ren-
dering the Breath Sweet and Pure.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS! ll—The only Genuine of
each bears the name of "ROWLANDS'" preceding that of the
Article on the Wrapper or Label.
Sold by A. ROWLAND and Soxs, 20, Hatton Garden, London,
and by Chemists and Perfumers.

ASPINALLT- EAST INDIA PALE ALE
AND BITTER ALE.
This fine-flavoured and tnuch-esteemed ALE, so largely in
demand during the Christmas of 1851. Christmas 1832, and Christ-
mas 1853 and 1834, is again in fine condition for Christmas 1855 ;
in Casks of 9, 18, and 36 Gallons—strong or mild.
Orders should be sent early to the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead,
or to the Liverpool Stores, Walmer-buildings, Water-street, and
Rumford-street, near the Exchange, Liverpool.

Dr. Brett's Opinion of Aspinall's Preston Pans Beer. Mild Pale
Ale. and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery,
Birkenhead.
"Laboratory, Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Dec., 1852.
" I have, at the request of Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the Anchor
Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical examina-
tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Preston Pans
Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedly of
opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no
other ingredients than those found in pure malt liquors. They
have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain
any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some
descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucila-
ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably
bright, and retain that brightness to the last. Several medical
friends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re-
gards their quality. "R. H. BRETT, Ph. P., F.LS.,
"And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence."

Dr. Sheridan Muspratt's opinion of Aspinall's Pale Ale and Preston
Pans Beer.
" Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854.
" Dear Sir,—Having undertaken, at your request, a research
upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Ale, Mild
Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for-
warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the
chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been
subjected, establishes their incontestiLle purity; they do not
contain a particle of any injurious substance. I must confess I
was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were
brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis-
factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection
of the hest kind of Hops and Malt, anti that you possess great
scientific skill in conducting the several important stages through
which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the
India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright,
sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic,
and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable
and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour
of the stomach, and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of
the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pang
Beer is a very nice light beverage, having a peculiar but And
flavour, which must be gratiy relished by many families. The
East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale are like the above well
fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in-
gredients therefore are sure to command popularity. In con-
cluding, I' am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales,
I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to
any I have analysed.-1 am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F.R.S.
" Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. "Professor of Chemistry."
The demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in-
crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotelkeepers finding it equal in
flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Burton-brewed Ales, and
at Prises very considerably less than any similar Ale now on the
market. It is warranted to keep sound in Wood or Bottle for
years, and never changes its brilliancy of colour. It improves by
long keeping. Hogsheads, Barrels, Half-barrels, and Quarter-
barrels always on Stock, for Home Use and Exportation.

The following is a testimonial of a gentleman at Frodabam, in
Cheshire, accompanying an order for a further supply of Preston
Pans Table Beer

" Frodsharn, Cheshire,March 31, 1851.
" Sir,--41ease to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston
Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per 13. L., and C. Railway, to
Frodsharn.
"The barrel *hith I have now on draught is giving every
satisfaction, eontinning quite dotind and bri4k, though it has now
been more than six weeks on draught. 1 use a vent-peg, which
closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex-
posed to the air through the carelessness of servants.

" I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always
be returned literally within three months, for this I could not
always do, as a quarter-barrel generally lasts from eight to ten
weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion fora couple
of weeks before I begin to use it.
" Mr. H. K. Aspinall, Birkenhead."
