•' We have never read a more life-like book, or one in which there
was a greater amount of truth-seeming. There is a simplicity about
the style and incidents that is quite ' Crusoish.' "—Weekly Chrenicle.
" We can conscientiously pronounce it to be a very well written,
interesting, and useful volume. Useful, because it is another and
severe blow levelled against the accursed stronghole of slavery; and
we earnestly recommend its perusal to our readers."—Weekly

EMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. d. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSA tt OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to-losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.
11.aa Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has
the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.
