THE BOY'S OWN BOOK.
A Complete Encylopasdia of the Sports and Pas-
times, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and
Youth.
If imitation be—as it has been aptly pronounced—the
highest form of compliment, the Proprietors of " The
Boy's Own Book" have ample reason for congratulation ;
for it would be very difficult to find any work that has
had so many imitators, yet it still holds its proud Vosition
as the recognised authority upon everything pertaining to
the amusements of English boys. And in the present
edition, while nothing of consequence has been omitted,
additions of a very marked and extensive character have
been made ; so that it now, more fully than ever, deserves
the title of " The Justinian of the Playground," so hap-
pily bestowed upon it by one of its critics. Every article
has been thoroughly revised, or re-written ; and by means
of an enlarged page, and the considerable increase in the
number of pages, space has been found for many impor-
tant new subjects and large extensions of the old ones.

m.R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligae
tures. They so peifectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rem-
dered sound and useful in mastication..

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for "Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and " PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " B EL MON T SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE ) GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. T here ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr,ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine' in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be

used.
" PRICE'S NEW PATENT. NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glee.
