"THE LONDON AND PARIS LADIES' MAGAZINE" has a large and steadily-increasing circulation in the Un Kingdom, the Colonies, and America, and offers peculiar advantages as an advertising medium to all those who administer to the ne sities or luxuries of the fairer portion of the public. Unlike newspapers and publications of a purely ephemeral or literary charac which are either torn up or shelved as soon as read, this Magazine remains during the intervals of its publication in the show-rooms the fashionable milliner, the work-room of the practical modiste, and the boudoir of the lady of wealth, continually referred to, and tinually under the eye of precisely that class of customers which it is presumed to be most the interest of advertisers to attract. It is requested that all communications may be post-paid, and addressed to "The Editor of the London and Paris Magazine," 37, Bell Yard, Temple B DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN GOD LIVER OIL Prepared for Medicinal Use in the Loffaden Isles, Norway, and put to the Test of Chemical Analysis. PRESCRIBED BY EMINENT MEDICAL MEN AS THE MOST EFFECTUAL REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, RHEUMATIS SOME DISEASES OF THE SKIN, RICKETS, INFANTINE WASTING, GENERAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS. PURE AND UNADULTERATED. THE great difficulty of obtaining genuine and good Cod Liver Oil, has long prevented a just appreciation of its acknowledged remedial virtues, and precluded many suf invalids from realising the beneficial effects of this truly valuable medicine. Dr. De Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil is of the best kind and finest quality, being extracted from the liver of the Dorse-Gadus Callarias, a species of Co caught at the Great Fishery of the Loffoden Isles-by a process yielding a much larger proportion of iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile acid, the elements of the bi other essential principles, than the Pale Oils manufactured in England and Newfoundland, which, by their mode of preparation, are deprived in a great measure of active elements. The well-merited celebrity of Dr. de Jongh's Oil, is attested by its extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy, by numerous spontaneous monials from eminent members of the faculty and scientific chemists of European reputation, and since its recent introduction into this country, by the marked fidence as well as great success with which it has been prescribed by medical practitioners. In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost immediate relief, arrested diseas restored health. Testimonial from the late JONATHAN PEREIRA, M.D., F.R.S.E, F.L.S., Professor at the University of London, Author of the "Elements of Materia Medica, and Therapeutics," &c., &c. "My dear Sir, I was very glad to find from you, when I had the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil. fitting that the author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this Oil should himself be the purveyor of this important medicine. "I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of which you gave me a sample, because that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as the highest author the subject. "I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of responding to your application. The Oil which you gave me was of the very finest quality, whethe sidered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemical properties; and I am satisfied that for medicinal purposes, no finer oil can be procured. "With my best wishes for your success, believe me, my dear Sir, to be very faithfully yours. "To Dr. de Jongh.

JANUARY, 1855. BOULEVARD DES ITALIENS. December 26th, 1854. CHERE AMIE, DROGUET, moires in wide and shaded stripes, plain silks with flounces edged by bands of plush, worsted popelines, and poils de chevre, are the materials in demand for useful wear. Cloth dresses are also worn en negligé with double body or veste of the same, and made open at the top to show the body of the redingote, which simply buttons up. The front redingotes are also made of moire antique, with very deep basques and black lace trimming. A novelty has appeared in the redingotes for morning wear. They are made with a sort of jacket without sleeves or basques, these being supplied by trimmings of lace or fringe, which fall on the hips, and form epaulets or jockeys nearly covering the arms to the elbows and also ornamenting the opening of the body, which is plain, closing from the throat with buttons; the veste is smaller, leaving the body of the redingote exposed. A pretty trimming for the basques of bodies is three rows of narrow black lace forming ruche. We have seen a dress of plaid popeline with two flounces ornamented by three narrow fringes, matching the colour of the dress, and headed by ruches of narrow ribbon to correspond; the basques of the body trimmed to match. The demand for jackets or casaques of black velvet is as great as ever, and they continue to be worn with skirts of coloured materials. The trimmings are of rich fringe, embroidery, or black lace, either wide or several rows of narrow; not unfrequently a pelerine of black lace is added, rounded in front and reaching to the waist behind; if of velvet, it is trimmed with lace. Most of the jackets this season close in front; some are with revers, so as to open at pleasure, and many are made in a more fanciful style with bands of velvet and ribbon. The bretelles, or braces, so much in favour now are found, when attached to the dress, to confine the shoulders too much, and are therefore made separate on a band of the material of the dress, and, crossing at the waist, droop on the skirt. The bodies of dresses offer more variety in the ornaments used than in the form; the basques more or less long, the fronts more or less open, sleeves, more or less elegant, in VOL. 28. the different styles of Louis XIII., pagodas, mousquetaires, Spanish, &c. The skirts are fuller than ever, and form quite a hoop, which may be produced by the under-skirt or by means of cords or willow in the hems; several under-skirts are, however, generally preferred. The feather trimmings have not lost favour this season; fringes, network, bandsin fine, any style in which they can be introduced is taken advantage of. Ball dresses are still made with double and triple skirts. Some are of taffetas, covered by skirts of tulle of the same colour entirely bouillonné, interspersed at intervals with white marabouts spotted with gold; others, of crape, have these flounces embroidered in delicate wreaths. Ball dresses of black moire covered by three skirts of black tulle bouillonné raised at the sides by bunches of grapes formed of velvet and gold beads are also worn. Taffetas dresses of delicate colours are made with two skirts, edged with marabout fringe headed with stamped velvet, the corsage having berthe to correspond with the double skirts; others of less juvenile appearance are with flounces bordered with black velvet. Little girls' toilettes partake of the various fashions and changes; frocks of cachemire are made with flounces festonnés, and pelisses and manteaux are of satin lined with silk and trimmed with swansdown. Dresses of alpaga or popeline have the flounces edged with fringe, galons or, plush of the same colour or spotted. The paletot or talma is frequently the same as the dress. Many juvenile toilettes are entirely of black velvet trimmed with bands of plush frisée, black, rose, or blue, round both frock and paletot. The same style is pretty in popeline with talma of the same trimmed with three rows of plush and fringe. Children's bonnets are mostly of velvet with shaded feathers. Velvet is the favourite material for bonnets, and marron is the favourite colour, with trimmings of dark blue, green, or cerise, and bunches of flowers and foliage of black velvet. Bonnets of taffetas are also made this winter. Some are of black taffetas with ornaments of blue, pink, or green velvet intermixed with black lace and small veil attached to the edge; some are ornamented with crape flowers and foliage of black velvet, or plumes of pink feathers shaded with black; others are of pink, gray, or dark blue taffetas with ornaments of black velvet forming three or four narrow bands crossing the crown in various ways and encircling the bavolet, and foliage of black velvet intermixed with wheat ears of the colour of |
