The successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond

question that
HOWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
gularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and
improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has
failed.

This celebrated 0;1 is now universally aemowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to ail other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick end luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its
operation in cases of :,aldress is peculiarly active ; and in the growth
of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beauti.Ul head of hair, and rendering the use

_ .
of the fine-c. mh unnecess.fry. In dressing the hair nothing can
erirt.,l it; eff3ct, rendering the Tlair so admirably soft teat it will lie in

any direction, ana imparting, a transcendant lustre.—Price 3s. 6d.
and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. Gd. ; and double
that size, 21s.

CAUTION!—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, Row-
LAND'S MACASSAR OIL, in two lines. The same are engraven on the
back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.

CREWS'S CHLORIDE OF ZINC,
the best and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification
of Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, Water-closets, &c.; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apnlication as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. 'Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.
