ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-

vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent,

" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult In the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

BEAUTIFUL TEETH.

ROW L ANDS' ODONTO, or PEALRL
DENTIFRICE.

A WHITE POWDER compounded of the choicest and most re-
cherche ingredients of the Oriental herbal. It eVlrpates all tar tar-
ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the
further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indi-
cative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming their adliesio it to
the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite,
by perpetuating effective and complete mastication.
The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi-
cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in Ca nse-
quence, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court,
and Royal Family of,Great Britain;and the Sovereigns and Nobility
throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus,
" A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden," to be engraved on
the Government stamp, which is affixed on each box.

T 0 ONE-TREE HILL.

Hail, charming eminence ! I love to mark
Thy beautiful ascent in Greenwich Park.
When but a child I loved thee, and I still
Respect the very name of One-tree Ilill.
Thy steep acclivity and crowning tree,
Were ever honsured, ever hailed by me;
And many a time I've left the busy town,
To try my skill at running up and down.
Or stood upon thy lofty brow to mark
The happy multitudes in Greenwich Park.
Once more, famed hill—once more do we discern,
The approaching sign of Easter's glad return.
And soon thy park will echo with the hum,
Which plainly tells of Easter's season come.
Thousands preparing for thy cheering scene,
To MOSES' Dress Establishment have been.
And had'st thou eyes to see, thou would'st admire
The specimens of MOSES'
SPRING ATTIRE.
Such splendid samples of artistic skill
Were never known before, thou noted hill.
MOSES and SON will show you something prime
In Easter Dress for Eighteen-Forty-Nine.
THE HATS OF MOSES.
Which we soon shall mark,
Here, there, and everywhere in Greenwich Park,
Are equally deserving of approval,
While throngs of buyers aid in their removal.
THE BOOTS AND SIIOES
In every sense are prime,
And thousands have been bought for Easter time.
Never did feet ascend thy pathway steep
With shoes so smart. so durable, so cheap.
THE HOSIERY AND SHAWLS,
I would remark,
Will beautify thy scene in Greenwich Park.
Nor there alone, but all throughout the land,
Will proofs be seen how MOSES' dress is planned.
Dress such as never has been matched in skill,
Since first the verdant grass dressed One-tree Hill.
