ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES,

UNDER THE 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 "CONIPCEItION.—RbWLANDS' 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
Bs. 6d. per bottle. CA UTION. —The words ROWLA NOS' KA LYDOK
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, and, from its
aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath.
Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—The words ROWLANDS'
ODONTO are on the Label, and "A. Rowland 4-Sons, 20, Hatton-
qarden,"engraved on the Government Stamp affixed on each box.
Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists and Perfumers.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following extracts from Testimonials are proofs of
thegreat efficacy of this Medicine. That from Garrett Foster
Gill' Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London, concludesby saying—
" Whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approaching
I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so
valuable that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I
should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree
suffered; but, on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's
Pills is towards its improvement."
" Twelve years ago," writes Mr. Blake, ofKingscliffe, North-
amptonshire, " I became afflicted with rheumatic gout, and I
procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ;
and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infir-
mary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without
obtaining any benefit, and all my hope of relief had vanished.
This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised
me to try Blair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr.
Mortlock, of Stamford, for a box; and by the time I had taken
that quantity I got rid of one crutch. 1 then sent for another
box, which enabled me to throw away the other; and thank
God I have never since had such an attack."
Mr. William Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says—" I
had resort to your Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy.
The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the
