THE HAIR.—For 40 years Mrs. S. A. ALLEN'S
WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER has received the commendation
and favour of the public. It has acquired the highest
place that can be obtained for any moderate enterprise,
and contributed to the adornment of tens of thousands of
persons, who have the proof of its servicable character.

The PRIVATION OF THE USE OF ONES'S LIMBS while the
other functions of Nature are intact is a serious mortifica-
tion to the actively disposed. Such, however, is the con-
dition of the victims of rheumatism or gout. To walk
without enduring agony is impossible. to use tbe arms,
free from excruciating pain, is equally impracticable. 11
feeling of gratitude therefore pervades the frame when
the means are afforded of using all the members without
judicious and frequent application of POWELL'S RUBE:-
manc EMBROCATION. It is past all doubt the grandest
specific for the evils we have named, and others of a
similar character. May be obtained of all Chemists.

mpton-row, London.
A. BALD HEAD may not inaptly be compared to a house
without a thatching. It is exposed to the cold, and is alto-
gether unsightly in aspect. Resort may be had to a wig,
a scalp, or an assemblage of foreign hairs intermingled
with the scanty material of original growth still vouch-
safed to the bare caput; or but the effect is poor and the
disguise too apparent. Let those whose mirror assures
them of the approach of baldness or the stealthy march
of grey hairs assail the enemy in time. Let them
employ the infallible restorative known 9.8 Mrs. S. A.
ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER, and laugh to scorn

disfigure humanity. To be obtained of all CI tu.ists and

THAT COMPLEXION has always been held to be the woe
lovely in which the rose and the lily contend for mastery
or in which their beauty is blended. Great sacrifices are
made to produce an appearance corresponding with the
combination, but they never succeed. Art cannot appro-
ach Nature The only arrangement that can be made to
render men woman independent of all expedients is to
freely use HAGAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM. It pre,servas the
skin from premature wrinkles and farrows—renders it
smooth and supple ,and restores the hue which may have
faded through illness, exposure to a noxious atmosphere

tained of all Chemists and Perfumers throughout the
world. Price 3s. 6d. European Depot : 114 and 116,
