Messrs. MORISON have much pleasure in publishing the follow-
ing extract of a letter from the Rev. A. Hewlett, Astley Parsonage,
near Manchester. As that gentleman has had considerable experi-
ence for a series of years in the Hygelen mode of treating diseases,
his statement must be admitted as highly important :
"Astley Parsonage, near Manchester, March 24, 1846.
"Gentlemen,—The success of the medicine (Morison's Pills)
among the poor in this village is very great ; very many individuals,
and some whole families, never think of seeking any other aid. In
some cases, were other medical aid had been procured (through that
impatience which is so natural to us all in illness) a return to the use
of the pills has been attended with complete success. We have now
tried them successfully for every case of illness that has occurred in
our large family, during the last three years, and I am thoroughly
convinced of the soundness of the theory on which the pills are made ;
and believe that if there be a arable complaint the careful and judi-
cious use of the Vegetable Medicine' will accomplish the cure
" Yours truly,

" ALFRED HEWLETT.
" To Messrs. Morison, British College of Health,
New-road, London."
No Chemist or Druggist is authorised to sell Morison's Hyggian
Medicines. See that the words " Morison's Universal Medicines"
are engraved on the Government stamp.

ROWL AND'S KALYDOR, an eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally celebrated for its safety in
application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
ppurifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tan, and
iscolourations producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the bands,
arms, and neck!
In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it
is pre-eminentlf successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal family of Great Britain, and those of the Conti-
nent of Europe, together with the "elate" of the aristocracy, and
"haute voids."
Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" aro on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. ROWLAND and SON, 29, Batton-
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Government Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Ss. 6d. per bottle. Sold by the
Proprietors, and by chemists and perfumers.

*** All other Kalydors are fraudulent imitations I
