SPECTACLES are NECESSARY
WHEN the Eyes water, are misty, or fatigued
after reading ;
WHEN the print blends, and the letters appear
to be double ;
WHEN more light than formerly is requisite—
per example:
WHEN the candle is placed between the eyes
and the book
WirN objects must be held further off to be
seen more clearly ;
WHEN much difficulty is found in threading s
needle.
The above are pcemonitory signs of decaying sight, and Indi-

TEETH and PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—The
fear of pain and dread of operation Inherent to all deter
very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital Impor-
tance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a
practice founded In 1830, and now extending over greater part of
the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, en-
abling us to offer even the most sensitive sufferer a system of
dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite
pertaining only to ottr practice, and for which her Majesty Mu
granted her royal letters patent. The system embrases the non-
interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OlL.—This elegant
fragrant, and pellucid oil is universally in high repute for
its unprecedented success during the last sixty years in promot-
ing the growth, restoring and beautifying the human hair. It
prevents hair from falling off or turning grey. strengthens weak
hair, cleanses it from scurf and dandrllf, and makes it beauti-
fully soft. pliable, and glossy. For children it is especially re-
commended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair,
while its introduction into the nursery of royalty, and the high
esteem In which It is universally held, with numerous testimo-
nials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest
proofs of Its merits. Price Is. ed., 75.. 10s. 6d., equal to four

REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE CHIL-
DREN.—The friends of this institution held their annual
meeting yesterday at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St.
James's ; the Earl of SH•Friteer aY presided. From the
report of the committee, read by the secretary, it appeared
that the institution comprised three refuges, two for girls
and one for boys. The institution, feeling that further exer-
tions were necessary, were about to propound a scheme for
reclaiming outcast boys. The 'theme arose out of the supper
which wasgiven to theboys in February last, andwhich had
resulted in sixty boys who had attended that
supper being received into the refuge. It would
be remembered that the " Amateur Casual " had
given an account of a boy who passed by the
name of " Punch," who was well known as the pest of the
casual wards. That boy was now in the refuge, and was
dein,/ remarkably well. The new scheme was to establish
• teaming ship Where the boys might be educated for the
royal navy and the mercantile marine. They had already
obtained • premise from the government of a ship
suitable to their purpose but it was only to be
given on condition that the institution provided all the
expense of fitting up.
