ODONTO OR PEARL DENTIFRICE has been celebrated for more than half a century as the best and purest preparation for the teeth ever made; it whitens and preserves the teeth, imparts to them a pearl-like whiteness, strengthens the gums, and gives a pleasing fragrance to the breath, while the fact of its being perfectly free from any mineral or acid ingredients constitutes it the best Dentifrice which can be used, and especially adapts it for the teeth of children. Great care must be taken to ask for ROWLANDS' ODONTO, of 20, Hatton Garden, London, and to see that each box bears the 3d. Government Stamp, without which no ODONTO is genuine. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL is universally in high repute for its unprecedented success during the last 80 years in promoting the growth, restoring, improving, and beautifying the human hair. It prevents hair from falling of or turning gray, strengthens weak hair, cleanses it from scurf and dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft, pliable, and glossy. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, while its introduction into the nursery of Royalty is a sufficient proof of its merits. It is perfectly free from any lead, mineral, or poisonous ingredients. Sold by Chemists, Perfumers, and Hairdressers, in usual four sizes. is 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 healthful state of the Skin. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, Flushes, and Discoloration, fly before its application, and give place to delicate clearness, with the glow of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sunburn, or stings of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle. Ask any chemist, perfumer or hairdresser for Rowlands' articles. The important collection of examples comprised in the Museum originally formed by the East India Company has lately been transferred from the India Office to the charge of the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education, and will henceforth form a section of the South Kensington Museum. This Volume, forming one of the series of Art Handbooks issued under the authority of their Lordships, has been prepared at their request, and with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for India in Council, by DR. BIRDWOOD, of the India Office, a gentleman whose wide knowledge of the art manufactures of India specially qualifies him for the work. It is hoped that it will be found useful not alone by visitors to the Museum, but by all who desire to acquire information respecting the arts and industries of the Indian Empire. May, 1880, |
