whitens the teeth, prevents and arrests decay, strengthens the gums, and gives a pleasing fragrance to the breath; it contains no mineral acid or gritty substances, and is especially adapted for the teeth of young children, being very pleasant to use.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO is the best Tooth Powder.

All dentists will allow that neither washes nor pastes can possibly
be as efficacious for polishing the teeth and keeping them sound

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.

Sudden changes of temperature sorely try all persons prone to rheumatism, sciatica, tic douloureux, and many similar maladies scarcely less painful, though of shorter duration. On the first attack of stiffness or suffering in any muscle, joint, or nerve, recourse should immediately be had to fomenting the seat of disease with hot brine and rubbing in this remarkable Ointment, which will assuage the uneasiness of the part, subdue inflammation, and reduce the swelling. The Pills, simultaneously taken, will rectify constitutional disturbances and renew the strength. No remedy heretofore discovered has proved so effective as the Ointment and Pills for removing gouty, rheumatic, and scrofulous attacks, which afflict all ages, and are commonly called hereditary.

At present the library occupies that portion of the college buildings which is over the west walk of the cloisters, extending from the angle opposite the New Buildings to the great gateway which leads beneath the Founder's Tower to St. John's Quadrangle. It is composed of one long room,

But it is not the object of this paper to describe the muniments of the college, and propose to notice first the contents of the MS. Room, and

Three more volumes are filled by the "Cartæ Regiæ et Concessa" and other documents relating to the Hospital of St. John Baptist (on the site of which the college is founded), the papers of Sir John Fastolf, and those of Ralph, Lord Cromwell. Finally, there is a volume of miscellanies and a volume of letters,
