ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.

UNDER THB PATRONAGE OF ROYALTY AND THE
ARISTOCRACY THROUGHOUT EUROPE, AND
UNIVERSALLY PREFERRED & ESTEEMED.

THE successful results of the last Half Century
have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACAS-
SAR OIL possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth,
restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when
every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now
universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to
all other preparationsfor the Hair. It prevents it from falling
off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—produces a thick
and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—
and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation
in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of
Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recom-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing
the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably
soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcen•
dant lustre. A small Pamphlet accompanies each Bottle of
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, wherein important hints and
advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy and
on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of
human life.—Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to
four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION !
On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, ROWLANDS'
MACASSAR OIL, in two lines. The same are engraven on the
back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.
BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.—ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,
an Oriental Botanical Preparation, possessing balsamic pro-
perties of surprising energy. It eradicates Tan, Freckles,
Pimples, Spots, Redness, and other Cutaneous Visitations ;
transforms the most Sallow Complexion into one of a healthy
and juvenile bloom ; and imparts a delicacy and softness to the
Neck, Hands, and Arms. Perseverance in its application pro-
motes a free and uninterrupted exercise of those important
functions of the Skin so essential to the preservation of health,
and the attainment and continuance of a Beautiful Complexion.
During the heat and dust of Summer, and in cases of sunburn,
stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have
long and extensively been acknowledged.—Price 4s. 6d. and
88. 6d. per bottle. CAUTION. —The words RowLA Nns' KALYDOR
are on the wrapper of each bottle, and their signature, A. Row-
LAND & SONS, 20, Hatton-garden, London, in red ink, at foot.
THE TEETH AND HEALTH.—A good set of Teeth ever
insures favourable impressions, while their preservation is of
the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the
general health by the proper mastication of food, and the con-
sequent possession of pure and sweet breath. Among the
various preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS'
ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, stands unrivalled in its
capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth
to the latest period of life. Prepared from Oriental Herbs
with unusual care,transmitted to this country at great expense,
this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and
concretions, and Impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled
surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm
and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, ano, from its
aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath.
Price 28. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—The words ROWLANDS'.
ODONTO are on the Label, and "A. Rowland .5. Sons, 20, Hatton-
qarden,"engraved on the Government Stamp affixed on each box.
Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists and Perfumers.

GREAT FIRE

AT THE
GU TTA PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS,
AND DEFEATED BURGLARIES.

THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere plea-
sure in communicating to their Friends and the Public
the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLD-
FAST and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta
Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character,
as may well be conceived from the nature of its food, Gutta
Percha, Oil, Naptlia, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted
red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the
letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace
without a singe upon them.

" Gutta Perna Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" SIRS,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation'of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe.
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.
" We are, Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including X 5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Livprpool, Bth June, 1853

"GENTLEMEN,—Some time bck I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of barglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion but in which they were again foiled.

"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to eve you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
" 1 am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
" Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

NEVER-FAILING REMEDY !
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT!
A CRIPPLE SETS ASIDE HIS CRUTCHES

AkTER TEN YEARS' SUFFERING

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool,
dated August 20th, 1852.
. . _

To Professor HoLtowAv,—Dear am enabled to fur-
nish you with a most extraordinary cure effected by your inva-
luable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person
acquainted with the sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W.
Cummins, of Saltney-street, in this town, was thrown from his
horse, whereby he received very serious injuries; he had the
best medical advice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate
of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse, and at length a ma-
lignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that he could not move without crutches for
nearly ten years ; recently he began to use your Ointment and
Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that
he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health
and vigour. J. THOMPSON.
A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE of A DREADFUL SKIN
DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Ilird, Draper, of Keardy, near
Gainsbro' dated March Ist 1852.
-

To Professor HOLLOWAY,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my
children was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the body
and limbs. I obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons
and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hope-
less. At length I tried your Ointment and Pills, and without
exaggeration, the effect was miraculous, for by persevering in
their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from
a similar complaint, and I believe, had I in her case adopted
your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be
happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer.—J. HIRD.
CERTAIN REMEDY FOR SCORBUTIC HUMOURS—AND
AN ASTONISHING CURE OF AN OLD LADY SEVENTY
YEARS OF AGE OF A BAD LEG. •
Copy of a Letter from Messrs. Walker .5- Co., Chem fats, Bath
To Professor HOLLOWAY.—Dear Sir,—Among the numerous
cures effected by the use of your valuable medicines in this
neighbourhood, we may mention that of an old lady living in
the village of Preston, about tive miles from this city. She had
ulcerated wounds in her leg for many years, and latterly they
increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual
remedies; her health rapidly giving way under the suffering
she endured. In this distressing condition she had recourse
to your Ointment and Pills, and by the assistance of her
friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received
a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at
the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age.
We shall be happy to satisfy any inquries as to tha authenticity
of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter.—
A private in the Bath Police Force, also, has been perfectly
cured of an old scorbutic affection in the face, after all other
means had failed. He states that it is entirely by the umseinof
your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise.—Wnenrdecna. ,
dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) WALKEI
