JOSEPH GILLOTT'S CELEBRATED STEEL PENS. SOLD BY ALL DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. Every Packet bears the fac-simile of his Signature, Dr Gillott LAMPLOUGH'S PYRETIC SALINE 'HAS MORE THAN A EUROPEAN REPUTATION,' And is important to all, more especially those who have charge of others, to Travellers, English Ministers, British Consuls, and Europeans seeking to reside in Tropical and Foreign Climates. It is found pre-eminently beneficial in preventing and curing SMALLPOX, by Purifying, Invigorating, and Vitalising the Blood. Any person who has already this complaint should take it, and be kept in a cool and darkened room, to prevent its leaving any trace on the features. 'It cures the worst form of ordinary or Sick Headache in ten minutes.' Taken as a morning or evening draught it is most agreeable, invigorating, and cooling; it removes bilious affections, heartburn, and acid eructations, in a marvellous manner. Her Majesty's Representative, the Governor of Sierra Leone, in a Letter of Request for an additional supply of the PYRETIC SALINE, states: It is of GREAT VALUE, and I shall rejoice to hear it is in the hands of all Europeans visiting the Tropics.' SICKNESS, HEADACHE, and NAUSEA are in most cases immediately relieved by taking a teaspoonful in a tumbler of cold water. This can be repeated once or twice in two hours, if needful. SEA VOYAGES.-It is a very valuable accompaniment, and should on no account be omitted. It instantly allays the sea or bilions sickness. For BILIOUS CONSTITUTIONS, giving rise to vitiated secretions, Indigestion, and Eruptions on the Skin, a teaspoonful should be taken daily with the dinner in a tumbler of water, and the same quantity on going to bed. A spurious Preparation having been palmed upon the Public, it is needful to notice the Trade Mark on the top right and left-hand corners of the Wrappers. 'RAWAL PINDEE, PUNJAB, INDIA, 28th March 1871. On the recommendation of several officers who had some of your Pyretic Saline in the West Indies, all of whom speak in the highest terms of it, we were induced to try it for the first time in this Province. This result was not due to any novelty in introducing a new medicine, but solely from the ascertained merits of your preparation after use in the fever-stricken districts by which we are surrounded, and we firmly believe that the use of your Pyretic Saline will do more to PREVENT fever than all the Quinine ever imported can cure. We write thus strongly, because, both from personal experience and cbservation, we believe we have at length found a remedy against the ever-present fevers of these parts, which costs the British nation hundreds of valuable lives in Peshawur alone. We are now willing to enter into special terms for large and continued supplies, &c.' May be obtained of the Proprietor, HENRY LAMPLOUGH, Consulting Chemist, Fry's TO SECURE THESE BENEFITS.'

The cost is less and the effect greater than that of any other known plans. The apparatus may be seen at work in the Houses of Parliament, the Offices of the Department of Science and Art, in St. Paul's, York Minster, and 18 other Cathedrals, besides 1,000 Churches in England, and Government and other Public and Private Buildings too numerous to name in an advertisement.

THIS Lamp is offered to Microscopists as thoroughly efficient, and yet very moderate in price. It embraces all the latest improvements, and is furnished with HAILE'S Porcelain Shade, which, while shielding the observer's eyes from the glare of the Lamp, acts as a reflector to increase the brilliancy of the illumination. The glass reservoir is shallow, so that the paraffin rises freely and feeds the wick regularly. The reservoir rotates in the arm B, so that the flat or edge side of the flame can be used. The shade can be adjusted to a proper position as regards the flame by sliding up or down the arm D, and the Lamp fixed at any required height by the clamping screw C. As the tube E carries the tube D, when the Lamp and shade are properly adjusted the whole may be raised or depressed without deranging that adjustment by sliding up or down the arm B. The brass wickmount is hinged, so that the gallery or chimney can be turned back to facilitate turning and lighting. BARKER'S IMMERSION PARABOLA, For dark ground illumination, with high powers, giving effects hitherto unattainable. Price £1. 11s. 6d. ACKLAND'S NEUTRAL TINT SELENITE STAGE. This neutral tint is exceedingly delicate in action, as its colour is varied by the slightest depolarising influence of the object under examination, and will be found to give a display of colours to objects (requiring the use of the Selenite) more varied and gorgeous than can be obtained by any of the usual colours employed, and at the same time the mere rotation of one or other of the films will give a succession of nearly all the prismatic colours, so that the observer, if dissatisfied with the neutral tint, can produce and test a multiplicity of others, and note the effect of each with the special object under examination. Price 15s., or with an extra film, so as to produce the entire series of Prismatic Tints, 18s. 6d. Illustrated Catalogue of Microscopes and accessories sent on receipt of Two Stamps.
