are more than usually essential, viz.,
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
For imparting a transcendant lustre to the Hair, and sustaining it in
decorative charm.
ROWLANDS' KAL V DOR
Imparts a radiant bloom to the Cheek, and a delicacy and softness to
the Hands,Arms, and Neck; and

R DENTRIFICE, Bestows on the Teeth a pearllike whiteness, and renders the Breath
sweet and pure.
The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by
Yank and fashion, and the universally known eMcacy of these at tic:es
give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them peculiarly
ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS.
