OWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restora-
tion, and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally
acknowledged to be the Cheapest, and superior to all ;Abe- prepara-
tions for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey,
strengthens weak }lair, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, and
makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of
Baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the Beard, Whis-
kers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailling in its stimulative
operation. For Children 1; is especially recommended, as forming
the basis of a beauthul Head of Hair. Price 3s. 6d. and 75.; Family
Bottles (equal to four small), 105. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s.
CAUTION.—On the wrepper of each bottle t.re the words, Row-

A GOOD•FOR-NOTHING GIRL.-It turns out to be the
fact that the Guards recently despatched to the Crimea
in the steam-ship Alma were actually armed with the
old musket ! At their departure the band probably
played, "The Girls we leave behind us." It is to be
wished that one of these girls had been Brown Bess.
