TO LADIES.
The high and universal celebrity which
ROWLAND S' KALYDOR
continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing ex-
tirpator of all impurities of the skin, is during the period of spring,
most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic,
restorative, and invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in
application, as for unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan,
Pimples, spots, freckles, discolouratiens, and other cutaneous visita-
tions. The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek, and the softness
and delicacy which it induces in the hands and arms, render it indis-
pensable to every toilet.
Gentlemen, after shaving, will find it allay all irritation and ten-
derness of the skin, and render it sett, smooth, and pleasant. Its
Purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive
election by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal
Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe.
*** Beware of spurious " KALYDORS" for sale, containing
mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their
repellent action endangering health. The words " ROWLANDS'
YDOlt" are on the wrapper of the genuine article. Price
4s. 6.d. and Bs. 6d. bottle.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
Other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
:value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
e income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING LARGE E
In most of thee SS
in
e principal towns in GreSat Britain, our TABLISHMENTS

Purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
Signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
wOrknier, ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-ecntage upon
2riginal cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
4ures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
With the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect
a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
Price list will testify to some extent :

TO DIES
This lady had the followingletter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7,1346. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the Paper by the lady herself, as a testimon to me.
" Mrs. IVeekley, of No. 3. Swan-str et sBY gh, takes this oPPor"
tnnity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grtns'to:er,°ouf the Herbary, High-
gate for the ellacacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after King it about four months,
and the whole ofher hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s
RegepatOr, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I is. bottle if tkey were as certaln of its 'virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a measure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact'.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionaly, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, ,Will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most ddioate la'lies may use this delightful product of the
Mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most neoessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
oa the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
‘hear. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
flair On ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influenee on the brain as to pre-
Vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of halr.—see
