Service, Cadets, and others proceeding to India, that he has introduced
an entirely new process in the preparation of leather, whereby it
is rendered most beautifully soft and pliable, and at the same time
so much changed in its nature, as not to occasion that pain and
inconvenience universally experienced in wearing new boots. They
bear a most beautiful polish, requiring no blacking; they do not
crack or become hard, and are remarkably soft and pleasant to wear.
Ease, elegance and durability, are combined in these Boots, and are
invaluable for warm climates.
T. Grundy earnestly solicits one trial, which will be convincing.

shooting cannot be surpassed. Also double and single Rifles made to
shoot with the greatest accuracy.
B. and Son make Guns marked No. 2, which will be found on trial much
better and cheaper than most second hand Guns, and prevent the loss now
so often sustained in the purchase of what are called second-hand Guns,
but which are really very common ones, with London maker's names forged
upon them.
Also Guns marked No. 8, perfectly safe and made to shoot well, suitable
for the Colonies.

GEORGE AND JOHN DEANE,
_GUN MAKERS_
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT,
Have much satisfaction in making public their important discovery of
manufacturing Gun Barrels entirely of Pure Steel, which are found in
all respects as decidedly superior to stubb twist as the later is
to common plain Iron Barrels. Some of the most important advantages
possessed by DEANE'S Steel Barrels are, first, that they are
found to stand a much more severe test in proof than those of any other
description, and even in comparison with the best Stubb Barrels of the
same length and calibre. The Steel Barrels will stand the same proof,
although one-fourth lighter; the greater safety which this invention
secures is therefore obvious. Secondly, the Shooting is from 25 to 35
per cent. stronger and closer than any other. And, thirdly, they will
not become leaded or foul, or by constant use lose their superiority of
shooting. As an Advertisement precludes the possibility of detailing
their full merits, Sportsmen are respectfully invited to inspect the
STEEL BARREL GUNS, and test their Shooting, at G. & J.
DEANE'S FACTORY; where also will be found the largest assortment
of Double and Single Fowling Pieces, Double and Single Rifles of every
calibre, and fitted with extra barrels for shot; Air Guns and Air Canes
for all descriptions of Shooting; and Pistols in endless variety.

JOHN BLISSETT, GUN MAKER,
321, HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON,
Respectfully begs to thank his customers in India for their long and
continued patronage, and to state that, from the great experience he
had in making DOUBLE RIFLES, he has attained to a principle
of making them throw with equal precision to a Single Rifle, which
he unhesitatingly challenges the world to surpass, even those who
charge nearly double his price. His Fowling Pieces are bored upon a
system, and the interior of the breeching made upon such an improved
plan, as to throw small shot stronger and closer than has ever before
been accomplished. Double and Single Rifles, with extra barrels for
small shot, to fit in the same stocks. Pistols of every description,
both double and single, for holster, belt, pocket, or duelling. The
Regulation Cavalry and Infantry Pistols, with musket or carbine-size
bores. The Six-barrel Self-acting Pistol now made complete and perfect.
J. B. has always a large stock of Second-hand Guns and Pistols
of his own make and all the other first-rate London makers, at most
reasonable prices, together with every article connected with the trade.

SILVER SUPERSEDED BY RICHARD AND JOHN SLACK'S CHEMICALLY PURIFIED
NICKEL SILVER.
A good substitute for silver has long been sought after, and numerous
have been the attempts to produce a perfect metal that will retain its
colour when in use. How fruitless the attempts have been the public
know too well, from the fact that all their purchases have, after a
few days' wear, exhibited a colour little better than brass. The very
severe tests that have been applied to our metal (which in all cases
it has withstood), at once places it pre-eminent above all others, and
from its silver-like appearance, its intrinsic and valuable properties,
gives us confidence in asserting that it is, and must remain, the _only
pure and perfect substitute for silver_.

FACULTY.
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,

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._
