LA., 9, Cornhill, London, opposite the Bank, request the atten-
tion of parchatsers to their stock of London-made PATENT LEVER
WATCHES, which are manufactured by themselves in their (Pan

ROWLANDS' AIACASSAR OIL,
This mild, yet powerful and infallible renovator, insinuates
its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair
in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates
its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of
healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest
period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly
active, so that in numerous instances wherein other remedies have
been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded
the ornaments of art, by reinstating in full plenitude the permanent
gifts and graces of nature. For Children, it is especially recom-
mended as forming the basis of a Beautiful Head of Hair, and ren-
dering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.
Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of
her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the whole
of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civil-
ised world; and the high esteem in which it is universally held. to-
gether with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy,
afford the best and surest proofs of Its merits.
Price 3s. 6d. and 7s, ; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. ed., and double that size, 21s.
Caution.—On the Wrapper of each Bottle of the Genuine Article

ENAMEL.—The Liquid Enamel, for
STOPPING DECAYED TEETH without pain, is a com-
bination of those substances, of which, according to the most recent
analysis, the natural teeth are composed; and its successful applica-
tion for many years by Mons. DE BERRI, the inventor, proves it
unrivalled for its efficacy In restoring Decayed Teeth and preventing
Tooth-ache. Artificial Teeth, on a new and infallible principle, sup-
plied by idons. de Berri, who also remodels old sets; and those per-
sons who already wear artificial teeth, but wish to avail themselves
of the most re(•ent ImprOvements, can have a new set constructed,
and a liberal allowance will be made for those already in use.

THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW
The Christmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square,
Draws many thousands with its prizes rare ;
Nor need we wonder much, for such a sight
Is calculated to afford delight.
'Tis most amusing to behold a prize,
Bolling in fatness—twice its usual size.
The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep,
With here and there a group of waddling sheep.
And the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing,
Are objects which are certainly amusing.
But there's an exhibition, you must know,
More pleasing than the Christmas Cattle Show;
MOSES and SON'S display of prize attire,
Is something which the public all admire.
The show at MOSES' Mart does not appear
At Christmas time alone, but all the year.
Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack
Prize Coats and Waistcoats to adorn the back,
Prize Over Coats and Trousers, too, are there.
More prized than any prize in Portman-square.
MOSES and SON beg, therefore, to advise,
An early application for a prize.
Let all who prize their health adept the plan,
Of well preparing for the outward man ;
And those who prize appearance we apprize,
Of what our Prize Establishment supplies.
MOSES and SON'S prize garments all admire,
And own them to be prizeable attire;
Tlia least dissatisfaction there is not,
But all who purchae dress, no matter what,
Exclaim, delighted, " What a prize I've got

m One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on-
coesprosing harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social contest. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
reined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ray misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash pat forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post la. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volfune, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
iffe,whe owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do ante others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann,
32, Cernhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and evenings), JO, Argyll-plaee Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.
