CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.—The exuberance
of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces the fair an'
inuthfhl to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends, and
therefore to devote increased attention to the duties of the Toilet.
It is at this festive season that
LOWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY

are more than usually essential, viz.,
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
ror imparting a transcendant lustre to the Hair, and sustaining it in

decorative charm.
ROWLANDS' KALFDOR
lapels a radiant bloom to the Cheek, and a delicacy and softness to

the Hands,Arms, and Neck; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO,

&stows on the Teeth nOspeParElt and rsnaors tho Breath

sweet and pure.

The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by
rank and fashion, and the universally known efficacy of these al ttcles
eve them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them peculiarly
ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS.
