SIR, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
E the undersigned having observed in the
" Times " of this day, headed " Railway Speculation," an extract from a Parliamentary return whereby it is shown that large
sums have been subscribed by us, beg to state that such subscriptions
were made by us in our Wilda' capacity as Directors of the South-
Eastern Railway Company, representing the body of Proprietors, and
that we did so subscribe under an engagement to distribute rateably
among the Proprietors the Shares represented by such subscriptions.
These facts have been duly proved before the Committee of the
House of Commons on Standing Orders.
The execution of the Parliamentary Subscription Contract was
confined to the Directors for the sake of economy, and it was
adopted under professional advice.
We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,
JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.
FRAS. MILLS, Depaty-Chairman.

OWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE.
2.‘

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 perfume 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 mast efficient and
7agrant 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-
graved on the Government Stamp, thus—

Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists and Perfumers.
*** All other Odontos are fraudulent imitations.
