AND to those who enjoy the Promenade, the Ride, and Dwve, In all cases, Fervid Heat and its concomitant Dust materially injure the skin, producing Sunburn, Tan, Freckles, and DIS- colourations, of an almost incredible character. To obviate and eradicate those baneful results, recourse may with coufidence be had to ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, An Oriental Botanical Preparation. Whether resorted to in its specific character as a thorough puri- fier existing defects of an eruptive nature, and discolourations of the Skin, or as a Preserver and Promoterofits already brigV4 and growing tints, THIS ELEGANT TOILET iffiQWsiTE has in everv instance maintained its claim to the title of "THE UNFAILING AUXILIARY OF FEMALE GRACE." During the Summer and Autumn the invigorating and refreshing properties of Rowland's Kalydor will be found singularly agree- able to LADIES TRAVELLING. The effects of temporary exposure. to solar heat upon the Face, Neck, Arms, and Handsbeing neutralised, and the cloud induced by relaxation and langour dispelled by its power of sustaining a perfect elasticity of the Skin, without which certain deterioration takes place; thus in the usual periodical visits made to the coast Rowland's Kalydor is indispensable as a preventive of the Skin after SEA BATHING, from the irritation caused by the chemical action of saline vapour, from the sultry climes of India, and the drawing-rooms of Cal- cutta and Madras, to the frozen realms of the Czar and the Moons of St. Petersburg and Moscow, this exotic preparation is perfectly innocuous, acting in all cases by promoting a healthy tone of the minute vessels, and is the most elegant as well as effective Toilet appendage hitherto submitted to universal patronage.—Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle. The heat of summer frequently communicates a dryness to the hair and a tendency to fall off, which may be completely obviated by the use of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, a delightful, fragrant, and transparent preparation, and as an in- viorator and beautifier of the Hair beyond all precedent. For Children it is especiaLy recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head of Hair, while its introduction into the nursery of Royalty, and the numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proof of its merits.—Price 8s. 6d., 10s. 6d. equal to four small, and 21s. per bottle. WHITE AND SOUND TEETH are indispensable to Personal Attraction, and to health and longevity, by the proper mastication of food. ROWLAND'S ODONTO, Or, Pearl Dentifrice, White Powder, compound of Oriental Ingredients, is of ines- timable Value in Preserving and beautifying the Teeth, strength- ening the gums, and giving a pleasing fragrance to the breath. It eradicates tartar from the teeth, removes spots of incipient decay, and polishes and preserves the enamel to which it imparts a peral-like whiteness.-Price 2s. 9d. per box. Sold by Chemists and Perfumers. Ask for ROWLAND'S" Articles.

SMOKERS BEWARE Don't poison .yourselves by smoking out of deleterious and injurious com- pounds, commonly manufactured into pipes, and sold as Meerschaum of inferior quality. All doctors and analysts have agreed that smoking out of a Meerschaum Pipe is the least injurious method of using tobacco; but (say they) it must be real Meerschaum, not the abominable and deleterious compound ordinarily palmed off for profit's sake upon unsuspecting persons who are not competent to judge between the real and the spurious article, which, however cheap the latter may appear, the customer actually pays more than ought to be paid for the real and pure Meerschaum, and this simply by reason of the enormous profits charged upon Meerschaums of best qual. ity, &c., by the wealthier and larger shopkeepers in the trade, who usually charge cent. per cent. profit upon the sale of every pipe. Intending purchasers should inspect our (real sea scum) Meerschaums, at 4s. and 6s. each, with best amber mouthpieces, enclosed in beautiful cases, lined with silk. Imported direct from Switzerland. Those at a distance can have them sent, carefully packed, and free of carriage, upon receipt of ptamps for payment (i.e., 48 or 72 stamps.)
