KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.

A CERTAIN REMEDY for disorders of the _Pulmonary Organs_--in difficulty of breathing--in redundancy of phlegm--in incipient _Consumption_, of which _Cough_ is the most positive indication, they are of unerring efficacy. In _Asthma_, and in _Winter Cough_, they have _never_ been known to fail.

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are free from every deleterious ingredient; they may, therefore, be taken at all times, _by the most delicate female and by the youngest child_; while the _public speaker_ and the _professional singer_ will find them invaluable in allaying the hoarseness and irritation incidental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in the production of melodious enunciation.

Prepared and sold in boxes, 1s. 1-1/2d., and tins, 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. each, by THOMAS KEATING, Chemist, &c., No. 79, St. Paul's Church-yard, London; and retail by all Druggists and Patent Medicine Venders in the Kingdom.

N.B.--To prevent spurious imitations, please to observe that the words "Keating's Cough Lozenges" are engraved on the government stamp of each box.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIALS.

Copy of a Letter from COLONEL HAWKER (the well-known Author on "Guns and Shooting.")

_Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants_, Oct. 21st, 1846.

SIR,--I cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect I have experienced by taking only a few of your _Lozenges_. I had a cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for me; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.

I am, sir, your humble servant, P. HAWKER.

To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Church-yard.

RED PARAGUAN SARSAPARILLA.

D'VERE'S COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT.

(Prepared by cold process) from the above fine species of the root, and prescribed by the first physicians and surgeons of the day, is acknowledged by the faculty to be the best form of Sarsaparilla now in use. It is remarkable for its medicinal properties as a purifier of the blood, and restorative of the vital energies of the system, in cases of debility consequent on acute disease and other causes, or wherever tonic or alternative remedies are indicated. It has been prescribed with marked success in the treatment of the following class of complaints:--Skin Disease, Scrofulous Complaints, Glandular Enlargements, Scorbutic Affections, Blotched Face, Boils and Tumours, Obstinate Ulcerations, Chronic Rheumatism, Affections of the Liver, Biliary Obstructions, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Loss of Flesh, Lowness of Spirits, Local, Nervous, and General Debility, and in most disorders depending on a depraved habit of body, bad state of the blood, or debilitated constitution.

"I have prescribed the _Fluid Extract of the Red Sarza_ (by the cold process) to many of my patients with considerable benefit, and, I may say, in cases where the ordinary forms of Sarsaparilla seemed to have little effect I am persuaded this is a valuable preparation for the profession, and have recommended it for use in University College Hospital."--_Letters of the late Professor Liston._

To be obtained in bottles, half-pints, 8s.; pints, 15s.; quarts, 25s.; (accompanied with doses and directions), of T. KEATING, Chemist, 79, St. Paul's Church-yard, London.

COD-LIVER OIL.

The increasing demand for this medicine, and the difficulty of procuring it, has induced Messrs. Henry Cox and Co. to make arrangements for a constant supply of this valuable article, which can be depended upon (colour, taste and smell being uniform), and which will bear the strictest test.

To be had retail of Mr. T. KEATING, Dispensing Chemist, 79, St. Paul's Church-yard.

"_Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest--Brompton, July 5, 1849._

"Mr. Cox--Please supply 20 gallons Cod Liver Oil.--Osborn P. Cross, Secretary."

TRAVELLERS AND RESIDENTS IN WARM CLIMATES

WILL FIND

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR

a most refreshing preparation for the Complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and a healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, "Rowland's Kalydor" tends to neutralise the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well-being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. It exerts the most _soothing_, _cooling_ and _purifying_ action on the skin; and effectually dissipates all _REDNESS_, _TAN_, _PIMPLES_, _BLOTCHES_, _SPOTS_, _FRECKLES_, and other Cutaneous Visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the _CHEEK_, and the softness and delicacy it induces on the _HANDS_ and _ARMS_, render it indispensable to every toilet. In cases of SUN-BURN, STINGS of INSECTS, or incidental Inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged. Gentlemen after Shaving, will find it allay all irritation and tenderness of skin, and render it soft and smooth. Its _purifying and refreshing properties_ have obtained its exclusive selection by _Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe; together with the "elite" of the Aristocracy_, from the sultry climes of India to the frozen realms of the Czar. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.

[asterism] BEWARE of _spurious_ "KALYDORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,

powerful, yet balsamic, efficacious, yet mild; its effects, either in restoring the Human Hair when lost, or preserving it in its original strength and beauty, are in many cases all but miraculous, and are recorded by testimonials most numerous in themselves, and certified by the highest authorities. It has obtained the exclusive patronage of Royalty, not only as regards our own Court, but those of the whole of Europe. From its exquisite purity and delicacy, it is admirably adapted for the hair of children, even of the most tender age, and is constantly employed for this purpose in the Nursery of Royalty, and by the families of the nobility and aristocracy. It is alike suited for either sex; and whether employed to embellish the tresses of female loveliness, or to add to the attractions of manly grace and aspect, will be found an indispensable auxiliary to the toilet both of ladies and gentlemen. Price 3s. 6d.--7s. Family bottles, (equal to 4 small) 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. per bottle.

ROWLAND'S HAIR WASH,

A preparation from the choicest Oriental Herbs, of peculiarly mild and detersive properties. It pleasingly and effectually cleanses the Hair and Skin of the Head from Scurf and every species of impurity, and imparts a delicate fragrance. It is particularly recommended to be used after Bathing, as it will prevent the probability of catching cold in the head, and will render the hair dry in a few minutes. Price 3s. 6d. per bottle.

ROWLAND'S ODONTO (or PEARL DENTRIFRICE),

A WHITE POWDER, compounded of the choicest and most _recherche ingredients of the Oriental Herbal_, of inestimable value in _preserving_ and _beautifying_ the Teeth, _strengthening_ the Gums, and in rendering the breath sweet and pure. Its truly efficient and fragrant aromatic properties have obtained its selection by "The Queen," the Court and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the Sovereigns and Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

ROWLAND'S ALSANA EXTRACT,

For relieving the Tooth-ache, Gum-boils, and Swelled Face, and which, by constantly using, prevents those maladies. In the anguish of excruciating pain it affords instantaneous relief. Price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 10s. 6d. per bottle.

IMPORTANT CAUTION!

UNPRINCIPLED SHOPKEEPERS, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most SPURIOUS COMPOUNDS under the same names. It is, therefore, highly necessary to see that the word "ROWLANDS'" is on the wrapper or label of each article. Sold by the Proprietors--A. ROWLAND AND SONS, 20, HATTON GARDEN, LONDON, and by all respectable Chemists and Perfumers.

_Officers in the Military and Civil Service proceeding to India or the Colonies, supplied on better terms than at any other House in London._

THE INVISIBLE VENTILATING HEADS OF HAIR.

THE NATURAL AND UNNATURAL STYLE.

If you wish to excel, study nature; this is particularly applicable in making ornamental hair, as unless the previous way of wearing it is imitated, so complete a transformation takes place, that, as Byron says,--"a mother would not know her son." ROSS and SONS having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect imitations of nature, have given the name of the Invisible Ventilating Head of Hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer them to both Ladies and Gentlemen, from one guinea and a half upwards.

THE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE.

The only Dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above DYE as infallible; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it are requested, if convenient, to have it done the first time at their establishment, which will enable them to use it afterwards themselves without the chance of failure. They think it necessary to add that, by attending strictly to the instructions given with the Dye, numerous parties have succeeded equally well without coming to them.

BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS' GREASE.

When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the Botanic Water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the Bears' Grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of Bears' Grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS and SONS, who first introduced the use of Bears' Grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and addresses printed on pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

THE NEW TOOTH-PICK AND TOOTH-BRUSH.

Thoroughly cleansing between the teeth when used up and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways, the hair warranted never to come out; in four strengths, viz.:--No. 1, hard; No. 2, less hard; No. 3, medium; No. 4, soft. The double anti-pressure nail-brush, which does not divide the quick from the nails. The triple hair-brush, which thoroughly searches and cleanses the hair in one-fourth part of the time of any other method, and acts as both comb and brush combined. The medium shaving-brush, being a selection of the strongest badgers' hair, so well secured in the socket as never to come loose. And, though last not least, the newly-invented "Renovator" Clothes-brush, which makes an old coat look like a new one, and a new coat to look new double the usual time. Invented and made only by ROSS and SONS.

THE TEETH AND GENERAL HEALTH.

It may be fairly said, the state of the Teeth depends greatly upon the state of the bodily health, and the state of the bodily health depend greatly upon the state of the Teeth. The homoeopathic principle of infinitesimal doses in all cases of weakness and nervousness, is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but assisted. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its utmost extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the _Materia Medica_ are contained in it; and a small portion being gradually absorbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the teeth, gradually removing the tartar, purifies the breath, thereby preventing infection, and corrects acidity both in mouth and stomach. Address ROSS and SONS.

THE FOUR REQUISITES FOR A COMFORTABLE SHAVE.

Firstly, a good Razor. Secondly, a good Strop. Thirdly, good Soap. Fourthly, a good Shaving Brush. And these are be to obtained, of the best quality, and newest construction, of ROSS and SONS, who can strongly recommend their Triple Converted Railway Razor; their Railway Strop, with Hone attached; their Pearl Shaving Paste, beautifully scented, and making a durable lather; and their medium badgers' hair Shaving Brush. They also recommend travellers to inspect their Russian Dressing Case, which contains the largest number of conveniences in the smallest space.
