METCALFE'S NEW PATTERN TOOTH-BRUSH 

 and SMYRNA SPONGES.— The Tooth Brusn has the im- 

 portant advantage of searching thorough!* into the divisions of 

 the teeth, and cleaning them in the most effectual and extraor- 

 dinary manner, and is famous for the hairs not coming loose— 

 1*. An improved Clothes Brush, that cleans in a third part ol 

 the usual time, and incapable of injuring the finest nap. Pene- 

 trating Hair-hrushes, with the durante unbleached Russian 

 bristles, which do not soften like common hair. Flesh Brushes, 

 of improved graduated and powerful friction. Velvet Brushes,' 

 which act in the most surprising and successful manner. The 

 Genuine Smyrna Sponge, with its preserved valuable properties 

 of absorption, vitality, and durability, by means of direct impor- 

 tations, dispensing with all intermediate parties' profits and de- 

 structive bleaching, and securing the luxury of a eenuine Smyrna 

 Sponge. Onh at Mktcalfk's Sole Establishment, 130b, Oxford, 

 street, one door from Holies-street.

 A . FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from Oriental 

 Herbs of inestimable virtue, for strengthening, preserving, and

 tartar, and by the removal of that extraneous substance lends a 

 salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the 

 surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and pre- 

 serves the enamel, substituting for discolour and the aspect of im- 

 purity, the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its 

 salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and per-

 greater delicacy observed in modern conversation; but, that the 

 volume might have some subsJance, and be a good table or tra- 

 velling book, copious additions have been made from other old 

 volumes of Facetiae. 



Extract from the Preface. 

 "Another strange circumstance connected with this work is, 

 that everybody presumes that he himself and everybody else are 

 perfectly familiar with its contents . . . and yet, if the reader will 

 ask his acquaintance, it will appear that not one in five hundred 

 ever set eyes on a copy. It is in consequence of like questions 

 that this edition, is published.**

URAL CHEMIS 

 By Edward Solly, Esq., F.R.S.. 



Experimental Chemist to the Horticultural Society of London, 

 Hon. Mem. of the Royal Agricultural Society, and Lecturer 



on Chemistry, at the Royal Institution. 



&c. &c. &c. 



Extracts from the Introduction: — 

 "A knowledge of the chemical composition of soils and the 

 various »ut)sianec3 employed as manures enables us to com pie* 

 hend the mode in which the lattn act , and <* knuwiedge of the 

 nature of those substances which plants require, points out the 

 best and most economical methods of restoring to the soil, by 

 manures, those substances which plants remove from it." 



M If the farmer knows what it is that gives the fertilizing powers 

 to manure, and is aware of the nature of those substances, he will 

 soon learn the best method of preserving and using them : he will 

 then understand how to make the most of the various sources of 

 manure at his disposal, and he will be enabled readily to save 

 much, that, for the want of such knowledge, would otherwise be 

 lost.**
