R OWL AND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE.

A Fragrant White Powder, prepared from Oriental Herbs of Ines-
timable virtue for preserving and beautifying the TEETH and
strengthening the GUMS.
It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar, and thus lends a
salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the
surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and pre-
serves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness ;
while from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities,. it gives sweetness
and perfome to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also
share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, a
healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose)
are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the mest efficient and
ragrant aromatic cleanser and preserver of the teeth and gums ever
known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occu-
pied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the No-
bility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once an-
nounces the favour in which it is held by the public at large. •
Price 2s. 9d. per box, duty included.

CAUTION.—To protect the Public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners of Stamps have directed the Proprietors' Signature to be en-

carrying business, which has for many years past, and is now carried

NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM
London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square'
sth June, 1845.

At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed
by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness
of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern
Counties of Scotland ;

We, the undersigned, William H. Colgilhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In•
verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
don, in aid of the proposed Asylum.

And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
Ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
to learn your determination ; but should we he so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be
kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
or before 12th instant.

The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poOr relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam-
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.
To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,000/. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtiouaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,
(Signed) ' W. H. COLQUHOUN.

ATHS of HOMBURG, near
_LP FRANKFORT-
ON-THE-'MAINE.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy oftheir
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
chflerences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to the eoUrse
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage. .

The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic; alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
om them.
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise

During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.
....

The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piereel
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag-
nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lenee of its distribution; and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for the gamzs of Trento et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asplialte, and
a grand dlning-room With a table-d'hote, served a la Francaise, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.

Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.'
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
Is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege
of remaining open all the year, and the eontirmation of is
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe. •
