NOTICES Of THE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between `irritative' and inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having caretlilly
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."

From Bell's Life. in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal—. Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."

the Sun, will find
ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing
preparation for the Complexion, dispelling the cloud of lan-
guor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritaility, and immedi-
ately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of
the Skin. The numerous varieties of Cutaneous Eruptions, Sun-
burn, Freckles, Tan, and Discolourations, are pleasingly eradicated
by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear. Its
purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selec-
tion by the Court and the Royal Faintly of Great Britain, and those
of the Continent of Europe, together with the " elite" of the Aris-
tocracy and " haute Volec," from the sultry climes of India, and the
Drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras, to the frozen realms of the
Czar and the Salons of St. Petersburgh and Moscow.—Price 4s. 6d.
and Sc. 6d. per bottle.
Beware of spurious "Kalydors " containing mineral astrin-
gents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repel-
ant action, endanger health. The only genuine has the words
" ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" on the wrapper, and A. ROWLAND
and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, is also engraved (by desire of the
Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each
bottle. •

Sold by the Proprietors, and by respectable Chemists and Per•
turners.

All other " Kalydors" are fraudulent counterfeits.
