TO MEMBERS OF REGIMENTAL MESSES.

The Members of Regimental Messes, resident in India and the Colonies, are respectfully solicited to inspect the articles supplied them, purporting to be the manufacture of CROSSE and BLACKWELL, as from the patronage they have obtained for the sale of their various Condiments, vast quantities of goods are prepared, approximating outwardly so closely to theirs, that the deception is not discovered until the purchaser has opened them.

It is, therefore, important to all who wish their goods, to inspect the articles minutely, as C. and B. do not guarantee any to be their manufacture that have not their name and address in full, on all the various labels and corks. The indents, C. and B., are now executing for many of the principal storekeepers in India and the British Colonies, consist, in addition to their usual assortment of Pickles, &c., of the undermentioned articles, many of which are just introduced and guaranteed to keep.

The Royal Table Sauce, a warm, rich sauce for cold meat and general purposes.—The celebrated Soho Sauce, for game, venison, fish, &c.—Dinmore’s Essence of Shrimps, a most delicious sauce for all kinds of boiled and fried fish, prepared expressly at their factory on the sea-shore, thereby retaining the true flavour of the shrimps.—Sir Robert Peel’s Sauce for general purposes, labelled with a fac-simile of Sir Robert Peel’s letter of approval.—Soyer’s New Sauces, one mild for the Ladies, and one warm for the Gentlemen, manufactured under his own direction.—Pure Mushroom Catsup and White Mushrooms, in tin canisters, prepared as they are gathered at Lewes in Sussex, where C. and B. have a factory for the purpose.—Fruits in Bottles for Tarts, Fruits in Jelly and Crystallised Fruits for Dessert; also Jams and Jellies of first quality, manufactured by C. and B. at the gardens, Dawley Wall, and West Drayton, Middlesex. By this means the fine aroma of the fruit is most effectually preserved.—Strasbourg Meat, Bloater and Anchovy Paste, for Sandwiches, in small glass jars.—Fine Bologna Sausages, hermetically sealed in tins.—Russian Caviare, in bottles, Russian Ox and Rein-Deer Tongues, secured in skins.—Real York Hams, cooked in Jelly; fine Wiltshire Bacon, secured in tins.—Berkley Cheese, hermetically sealed in tins; prepared Parmesan and Gruyere, in bottles, for Maccaroni, &c.; rich Stilton Cheese, in tins.—Preserved Salmon, Oyster, Lobsters for Sauce, Eels and Herrings, à la Sardines, Dried Sprats, Haddocks and Yarmouth Bloaters, Sardines and Anchovies in Oil.—All the various kinds of Sauce, Pickles, Preserved Meats, Soups, Game, Vegetables, &c., carefully selected and secured, and warranted fit for immediate use.—Syrups for Ices, comprising Pine-apple, Lemon, Orange, Raspberry, Limes, Currant, Strawberry and Cherry. Any of the above diluted with water, make a cool and delightful beverage.—Dried Herbs in bottles, Essences of Herbs and Spices of all kinds—most useful preparation for flavouring.—Arrowroot, Maccaroni, Vermicelli, Durham Mustard, Table Vinegar, Olives, Capers, &c., &c.

RECONNOITERING TELESCOPES.

These celebrated Instruments, measuring, when closed, 3-1/2 inches, possess sufficient power to show clearly Jupiter’s Moons. Its efficient performance as a Reconnoitering Telescope, both as to magnifying and defining power, renders it peculiarly adapted to the Military Gentleman and Tourist. Price 35s.; or sent through the post at 36s.

The same Instrument, with an additional Eye-piece to show Saturn’s Ring and some of the Double Stars, with Stand and Case, 4-1/2 inches by 3 inches, to contain the whole, £3 2s.

To be had of the Maker, JOHN DAVIS, Optician, Derby.

WEISS AND SON,
162, STRAND, LONDON.

Improved Enema Syringes, with Metal Pistons, for use in warm climates, where the ordinary Pistons become hard or unfit for use. These Syringes are not only superior from their durability, but more perfect, more easy in their action, and much better adapted for the use of invalids.

PATENT CORK NIPPLES FOR SUCKLING, AND BOTTLES FOR FEEDING CHILDREN.—This elegant invention possesses the most decided advantages over all the artificial Nipples at present in use; they are perfectly free from the impurities and the injurious effects of the prepared calves’ teats, or those made of elastic gum. They are made of the finest cork, prepared for the purpose, presenting a smooth velvety surface to the lips; and, although supple and elastic, they are so firm that there is no danger of their collapsing from the pressure of the gums.

WEISS’S IMPROVED SCISSORS WITH ECCENTRIC OR LEVER JOINTS.—The joints of these Scissors being placed at the side, instead of in the centre as usual, cause the blades to cross diagonally, and thus a drawing cut is obtained, similar to that made by a knife. By this means the power of the Scissors is greatly increased, not only by the additional leverage obtained by the position of the joints, but by the sliding action of the blades on each other. This has long been a desideratum in Scissors, not only where power is required, but even for the lightest work. Every description of Scissors is made upon this improved principle.

WEISS’S best Town-made RAZORS, and CUTLERY of every description, peculiarly adapted for use in India.

NORMAN RAZOR.

THE REGISTERED PATENT NORMAN RAZOR

Is the only one now before the public that is entitled to be ranked as an Invention; it is an ENTIRE NEW SHAPE, and so studied and constructed, that it is admitted to be the MOST PERFECT RAZOR EVER MADE.

To Gentlemen who wear moustaches, it will be found invaluable, as it can be handled with the greatest freedom and facility. The following is one of the many spontaneous testimonies of its superiority over every other Razor:—

“Sir,—I not only think it a duty I owe you for your ingenuity, but I have great pleasure in informing you that I have been using your Norman Razors for some time, and, in my opinion, for philosophical shape, elegance of make, and keenness of cutting, they cannot be exceeded. Sincerely wishing you success for your improvement,

THOMAS HARRIS AND SON’S

THO^s. HARRIS & SON’S
CRYSTAL SPECTACLES.

Improved Achromatic Telescopes.

THE BEST FOR PRESERVING THE SIGHT.

By using Harris and Son’s Spectacles, the many painful sensations in the eyes so frequently complained of by ladies when at needle-work, music, &c., are removed; they are very beneficial by candlelight, and enable the wearer to continue reading a much longer time without fatigue, or the risk of injuring the sight.

T. H. and Son have especial regard in adapting the proper shape to fit each person’s face. Badly formed spectacles subject the wearer to many annoyances, such as continually shifting their position from the eyes, the frame intersecting the sight, causing too much pressure on the temples, disarranging the hair, marking the nose, &c.; these inconveniences may be avoided by the use of T. H. and Son’s spectacles, which from their light (nearly invisible) appearance, do not at all disfigure the countenance; and being composed of pure crystal, are the most efficient for preserving the sight.

PRICES.

For Ladies	Best Blued Steel, 15s.	Silver, 20s.	Gold, from 42s.
For Gentlemen	Best Blued Steel, 18s.	Silver, 24s.	Gold, from 50s.

Improved Eye Protectors, invaluable for preserving the Eyes from Light, Heat, Dust, Flies, &c., with glass or wire gauze, from 16s. to 24s.

KENT’S PATENT KNIFE CLEANER.

May be seen in use on board the RIPPON, the GREAT WESTERN, the HINDOSTAN and the AVON.

This is the only invention for KNIFE CLEANING for which Her Majesty’s Letters Patent have been granted, and is distinct from all others, in every essential principle, however closely imitated in external appearance. This Machine, so eulogised by the Press, and which, after the test of three years, is acknowledged by all to be the most useful, as well as the most successful, invention (for a domestic purpose) which the present age has produced; is made in eight sizes, and thereby adapted for the smallest private Families or largest Public Establishments; they are portable, durable, ornamental in appearance, noiseless, and so perfectly cleanly, that they may be used in any apartment; are incapable of getting out of order, and so simple in operation, that the Small Ones for Families may be used by a Child, whilst the saving in time and in cutlery is immense, as the number of Knives each Machine is adapted to take at one time, are not only cleaned and beautifully polished, equal to new, in less time than One Knife can be cleaned on the knife-board, but are not subject to the risk of injury they sustain when cleaned by the old method, nor can they ever be worn away at the points or backs.

To be had of the Patentee, at the MANUFACTORY, 329, STRAND, LONDON. (Opposite Somerset House).

AND

44, ST. MARTIN’S LANE, CHARING CROSS,

Respectfully begs leave to acquaint Officers of the Army, the Civil 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.

BECKWITH AND SON,

GUN MAKERS

TO THE HONOURABLE EAST INDIA COMPANY,

58, SKINNER STREET,

Beckwith and Son manufacture for Sportsmen double and single Guns, at the lowest possible price, that will insure the assistance of the best mechanics in the gun trade, which guns, for workmanship and 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.

DOUBLE AND SINGLE GUNS, RIFLE PISTOLS, SWORDS, &c., FOR EXPORTATION,

All kinds of Implements for Sportsmen, Powder, Wadding, Caps, &c., &c.

TO THE SPORTING WORLD.

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.

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.

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.

⁂ 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.

Ross and Sons’ Method of measuring the Head,

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 homopathic 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.

“In all that I do, I beg you will understand that I am actuated with the desire of benefitting my fellow creatures. I consider in very truth that the medicine is, ‘under Divine Providence,’ a blessing and a cure; there are many instances here of its efficacy, and it is doing good to all classes—European and native.

THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH CURED OF A LIVER AND STOMACH COMPLAINT.

Extract of a Letter from His Lordship, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn,

To Professor Holloway,

21st February, 1845.

Sir,—Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my thanking you before this time, for your politeness in sending me your Pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect; nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any of my family should ever require either.

Your most obliged and obedient Servant,
(Signed) Aldborough.

THE

NEW BATH GLOVES AND RUBBERS,

Manufactured on a entirely new principle, are the most perfect frictors for freeing the pores and producing an agreeable re-action.

THE IMPROVED PATENT HORSE-HAIR GLOVES AND STRAPS,

Are indispensable articles of health for all persons travelling by sea or land, as by friction they promote a healthy action of the skin, than which nothing can be of greater importance, especially in tropical climates.

They were first introduced to the two Services and the Public, some years since, by Major-general Rolt, in his “Treatise on Moral Command;” and have since possessed the entire approbation of the Medical Faculty; and, undoubtedly, of all who have resorted to their use, in every country where civilization exists.

It is beyond a doubt, that, by a healthy action of the skin, many diseases may be escaped, and even that dire malady the Asiatic Cholera amongst them, as by freeing the pores, acidity of the stomach is removed, with all its train of annoyances.

CLARK’S

PATENT DIAMOND LAMP,

FOR

INDIA AND THE COLONIES.

This Lamp is beyond doubt the best Lamp for India. Royal Letters Patent have been granted to Richard Clark, for the recent improvements. In simplicity, in beauty, there is none to equal the Diamond Lamp. It gives the light of fourteen candles, and burns for twelve hours without attention. Is so simple, that it cannot be mismanaged—a wick has been woven expressly for this Lamp, which ensures a brilliant flame. The Diamond Light is tranquil amid the draught of the Punkah, and unaffected by currents from the windows or doors. The Table Lamps (as Fig. 30) are now fitted with a ribbed cut crystal under-dish, ventilating Punkah top and enamelled shade. The light and appearance thereby is considerably improved. The Table Lamps, from £3 18s. complete, to £8 9s., can be had in gold colour or bronze, or in bronze in relief, which is very handsome, or in artistic bronze in relief. Also with Derbyshire slate pillar, ornamented. Also with crystal pillars, plain or cut, which with the ribbed cut crystal under-dish, has a magnificent effect. The price is from £7 complete, to £11 10s.; also, Table Lamps can be had plated or electro-plated, from £7 15s. complete, to £12 12s. complete.

The Table Lamps fitted with an ornamented slate pillar with Ionic capital, either in gold colour, or bronzed in relief, are very much recommended for their elegance and durability; the price is, complete, £5 19s., if fitted with Punkah apparatus; but 14s. less is charged when the Punkah apparatus is not required.

The Hanging Lamps, with two, three, four, or more burners, are very superior. They are so simple in construction, that servants cannot mismanage them. These lamps can be had in gold colour or in bronze in relief. Each burner gives the light of ten candles, and a three-burner lamp will illumine a large apartment; but where lights are required for remote parts of the room, or particular positions, then the bracket-lamps to fix to the wall are recommended, or lamps to stand on brackets, or on the mantel-piece, &c. The Hanging Lamps are from £8 10s. to £14 for two burners, complete; for three burners, complete, from £12 15s. to £18 10s., and so on, according to the number of burners required.

Bracket Lamps can be protected from external draughts, for £3 15s., complete, and for £3 1s. if not required to be so protected.

Study, or Reading, or Writing Lamps, or Sideboard Lamps, or Mantel-piece Lamps, or Lamps to stand on brackets, or Hall Lamps (as Fig. 32), are also fitted with Punkah apparatus to protect the light from draughts of air; the price is £4 10s. complete, but 14s. less if not required to be fitted with Punkah apparatus.

These Lamps burn admirably with cocoa-nut or olive oils.

Orders are executed with extreme care, so that every article must render real service.

Extra cotton-holders are always sent with each lamp, so that the lamp cannot become damaged and thereby unfit for use. All necessary directions are on each lamp-cotton box.

Cut crystal glass or gold colour Candle Chandeliers and Candelabra. Candlesticks in gold colour or bronze, or artistic bronzed in relief. Royal Wax Candles made expressly for warm climates, 14s. per dozen lbs.

Fire-proof lamp chimneys for the Diamond Lamp, 12s. per dozen.

Patent Lamp wicks for the Diamond Lamp, 6s. per gross.

Ground Lotuses for Hanging Lamps (as Fig. 31), or Lamps (as Figs. 32 and 33), are 6s. 6d. each.

Lamp-trimming scissors, 3s. per pair.

Cut under-dishes for Table Lamps, 12s. 6d. each.

The packages for a single lamp, with et ceteras, vary in price from 10s. to 18s.

“Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Oct. 22, 1838.

“I certify that, since the commencement of the annual trials of Chronometers at the Royal Observatory, in competition for rewards offered by the Government for the best Chronometers, Mr. Carter, Chronometer Maker, of Tooley Street, has obtained a greater number of rewards than any other Chronometer Maker, and that he obtained the two last rewards given by the Government. I certify, also, that since I have had charge of the Royal Observatory, several Chronometers constructed by Mr. Carter, either belonging to the Royal Navy, or on trial for purchase by the Government, have been rated at the Royal Observatory, and that they have generally been extremely good.

Biographical Index to the Historians of Muhammedan India. By Sir Henry M. Elliot, K.C.B., Foreign Secretary to the Government of India. Vol. I. 8vo. 16s.

⁂ To be completed in Four Volumes.

History of the British Empire in India, to the close of Lord Ellenborough’s Administration. By Edward Thornton, Esq. Illustrated by Maps, showing the Possessions of the East-India Company at various times. 6 vols. 8vo., cloth lettered, £4. 16s.

“It (Thornton’s India) presents such a mass of valuable and authentic information respecting the origin, government, and resources of our Indian territories, as is to be found in no other publication. * * * It is the best, the most comprehensive, and the most original history of India which has yet appeared, and we cannot doubt its becoming the most popular, if, indeed, it be not so already. The style in which it is written is clear, vigorous, and terse, and free from those far-fetched, flowery, and pompous clap-traps which too many writers of the present day are apt to inflict upon their readers.”

—United Service Gazette.

“The style of the work is free, rapid, and spirited, and bears marks of a thorough familiarity with the subject. Every Englishman ought to be acquainted with the history of the British empire in India, and we therefore cordially recommend this work to our readers.”

—Patriot.

“Mr. Thornton’s history is comprehensive in its plan, clear and forcible in its style, and impartial in its tone.”

—Globe.

“A sound, an impartial, and a searching composition; chaste, elegant, and flowing in diction, profound in thought, and thoroughly logical in reasoning.”

A Dictionary, Hindustani and English; to which is added a reversed part, English and Hindustani. By Duncan Forbes, LL.D., Professor of Oriental Languages in King’s College, London; Member of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland; Member of the Asiatic Society of Paris, &c. In 1 Vol., royal 8vo., cloth, £2. 12s. 6d., or half-bound, £2. 16s.

“The present volume, by Dr. Forbes, we regard as an inestimable contribution to our Oriental literature, and worthy of a more extended notice than we can give to such a work. To compose a lexicon of the Hindustani tongue, suited to the present advanced state of this and kindred studies, demands in its author an uncommon share of learning and critical sagacity,—that he be cautious, well practised in analysis and arrangement, with ability to assign to secondary and figurative meanings a due position, a philosophical classification under their proper themes. To this part of the task Dr. Forbes has brought rare qualifications, many years’ experience, great aptness in teaching the Oriental tongues, much tact with respect to the kind and degree of help required to their thorough mastery. He has already done good service; his former works have stimulated many to acquire that knowledge which is essential to an efficient discharge of the various offices of trust and responsibility of every Indian resident. To say that it is an entirely new work would be to claim for it an equivocal character; but we do say it is a matchless production of its kind, every way calculated to sustain its author’s well-earned reputation. The plan and principal authorities are fully detailed in the preface, to which we refer our readers; the classical works have been diligently explored; the more modern and valuable works of Thompson, Herklots, Cox, and H. M. Elliot have been laid under contribution for particular terms and local usage; the aim has been to compile a thoroughly usable and economical book. The words are given in alphabetical order; the leading word, and the meaning of which it, its derivatives and compounds, are susceptible, are given with great care;—in a word, if condensation and definiteness, if due distinction between the provinces of a grammarian and lexicographer, if to avoid faults, to reject things of a doubtful utility, to supply deficiencies, and do all this with a determination that typography, paper, and price shall be unexceptionable,—if these in combination be a recommendation to an author and his work, then Dr. Forbes’s Dictionary is fully worthy of the patronage of the patrons and students of Hindustani literature. We have to add, for we must not omit to mention, that it contains a second part, or a reversed dictionary—a very valuable companion indeed.”—Friend of India, published at Serampore.

Grammar of the Hindustani Language, in the Oriental and Roman Characters, with numerous Copper-plate Illustrations of the Persian and Devanagari Systems of Alphabetic Writing. To which is added, a copious Selection of Easy Extracts for reading in the Persi-Arabic and Devanagari Characters, forming a complete introduction to the Bagh-o-Bahar, together with a Vocabulary and explanatory Notes.

Hindustani Manual; a Pocket Companion for those who visit India in any capacity, consisting of a compendious Grammar and Exercises on its more prominent peculiarities; with a Selection of Useful Phrases and Dialogues, on familiar subjects, together with a Vocabulary of useful Words, English and Hindustani, showing at the same time the Difference of Idiom between the two languages. By Duncan Forbes, LL.D. New Edition, considerably improved, 18mo., bound, 5s. 6d.

“The work can be honestly recommended to all who are desirous of acquiring the elements of the language, or of making themselves understood among the people of this country. We have seldom, if ever, seen such a small pocket-companion, with such a variety of useful instruction. The language of the Vocabulary and of the Dialogues appears quite unexceptionable. Any one acquainted with Hindustani will at once recognize its idiomatic accuracy, and cheerfully recommend it to the notice of all those who desire to come out to India not altogether unprepared to convey their own wishes to those who surround them.”

“An able summary of events connected with the rise, progress, and present state of the British Empire in the Eastern hemisphere. The author has well worked out the desire of the publishers, ‘to have the spirit and results of history in a form at once popular and practical;’ and although he professes to give only ‘the heads of knowledge,’ there is nothing dry in the manner in which his task has been performed; on the contrary, the book is exceedingly readable, and will be found of great value, both as a work of reference, and as presenting a comprehensive and interesting sketch of an important portion of a mighty empire. A work which seems, in every respect, worthy of public patronage.”

—Foreign Quarterly Review.

“The title of this book will show its comprehensive character, and those who wish to have an Encyclopædia of information on Eastern and Southern history, commerce, everything, in fact, but physical science, and not without a good deal even on that, will here find what they require. It is a condensation of the contents of multifarious volumes, and may justly be termed ‘many things in few words.’ If read, it will impart to the student nearly all that is known on the subject to which it relates, and afford him withal much entertainment. If kept as a book of reference, few questions relating to Eastern affairs can arise for which it will not furnish a complete answer.”

—Indian Mail.

“This book will become invaluable for reference, since it embraces all the leading circumstances in the histories and position (social and political) of India, China, and Australia.”

—Court Journal.

“This comprehensive title-page may be regarded as a faint outline of the prodigious mass of information which is contained in the work to which it belongs. Divided into ten books, subdivided into forty-seven chapters, and consisting of 1,000 rather closely-printed 8vo. pages, the reading, research, and labour, both of mind and pen, requisite for its production, may readily be supposed to have been great. It was with no slight expectation that we sat down to a perusal of his (Mr. Ritchie’s) volumes; and we must do him the justice to say, that our anticipations have been more than realized. By judicious management, and by skilfully and forcibly exercising the art of condensation, he has succeeded in drawing within one lucid focus an infinite variety of subjects, all more or less interesting and important.”

—Naval and Military Gazette.

“The work gives all the information on the history and topography of the Punjab that could be desired; and in the fullness and completeness of its details, and the diligence with which information has been collected from every available source, constitutes this the best and most authentic work extant on the important country of which it treats.”

—Britannia.

“A valuable and excellent work.”

—Times.

“Our author deserves a favourable hearing, not only for the spirit of hilarity and the invariable good humour with which he encounters his various difficulties, but because the recital presents us with an accurate and faithful account of the manners of the luxurious East. The minutiæ of domestic life, all the various usages of the presidencies, together with spicy military detail, which supply us with a very welcome and agreeable view of the way in which our fellow-subjects contrive to make themselves happy under the warm sunbeams of the Orient. There is a constant succession of new scenes, a great diversity of actors, and much new matter in this work; the whole enlivened by a bonhomie which gives it its most interesting aspect.”

“This, for what it professes to do, is truly an excellent book. As is stated in the preface, it contains at one view a very complete outline of everything relating to India which may be sought to be known; and such pains have been taken to give the information, in a form as clear as it is ample, that we might say it was altogether a history as well as a Hand-book.”

The medical hints are thoroughly practical, and the notes upon climate and diet cannot be too earnestly recommended to the attention of all our countrymen in the East.”
