They Stand at the

And they

have stood there for over ha f

a century. To day they occupy two large
floors on the busiest street of the greatest
business city on the continent. They have greater
facilities and do more business in their line than all other
persons and firms in the world. WHY, may well be asked,
do they retain the confidence of the people and continue to
do an enormous business year after year? Why have th y
succeeded in their business on a thoroughfare where thousands of
business men have failed? There must be reasons for it. Certainly
there are. It is because they always give their patrons the worth of
their money.
It is because people are benefited by a knowledge of
themselves, and are only too glad to pay for it. It is because nothing
is of such great assistance to men as to be able to correctly estimate
their own character and that of those with whom they have business,
social or other relations. THAT'S WHY! The phrenologist must
necessarily stand at the head, and Fowler & Wells Co., 775 Broadway,
New York, stand at the head of the World's chara ter readers,
They stard at the head of publishers of books relating to
mental science and the laws of health, their list including
standard works on Phrenology, Physiognomy, Physi
ology, Hygiene, Psychology and many practical hand
books on the business and affairs of life. They publish
the Phrenological Journal, one of the oldest magazines pub-
lished and well known both in this country and in Europe, occupying a
place peculiarly its own. The American Institute of Phrenology, of which
they are the founders and financial agents, stands at the head of all
institutions for imparting i struction in the art of reading character.
Other institutes may pretend to teach Mental Philosophy: this one doe
do so, and demonstrates the truths of mental science by living
heads and a collection of thousands of portraits, casts and
skulls, beyond comparison the most complete collection

in the United States. Men and women from all

parts of the world have received instruction at this In
stitute, and those wao have been put to the
g eatest expense ir ttending, those who have
crossed the ocean a.J who have been 'ed to
expect much, have been unqualified in their
praise of the value and interest of the instruction
received by them. Under such circumstances, is it
a matter of surprise that such a firm and such an
institution should stand at the bead in their particular
line and should continue to do so generation after gen
eration? You want to know something about Hads
and Faces,do you not? It is a peculiarly in-
teresting, aye fascinating study. Then

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING

that will interest you more than anything you have ever read and enable you to understand all the differences in people at a glance, by the "SIGNS OF CHARACTER," send for a copy of

"Heads and Faces; How to Study them.

A new Manual of Character-Reading for the people, by Prof. Nelson Sizer, the Examiner in the phrenological office of Fowler & Wells Co., New York, and H. S. Drayton, M.D., Editor of the PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL. The authors know what they are writing about, Prof. Sizer having devoted nearly fifty years almost exclusively to the reading of character, and he here lays down the rules employed by him in his professional work.

This is a most delightful study and every one should know "How to Read Character," and in this way be able to understand the motives and character of people met daily. This knowledge will enable employers to choose wisely and will enable employees to meet the requirements of peculiar people whom they may be required to please.

A knowledge of Human Nature would save many disappointments in social and business life.

This is the most comprehensive and popular work ever published for the price, 75,000 copies having been sold. Contains 200 large octavo pages and 250 portraits. Send for it and study the people you see and your own character, and if you are not satisfied after examining it, money will be returned to you.

We will send it carefully by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 40 cents in paper, or $1.00 on heavy paper, in extra cloth binding. Agents wanted. Address

FOWLER & WELLS CO., Publishers,

777 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.

N. B.-If you will state where you saw this advertisement, we will send you free a sample copy of the PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL, published monthly at $1.50 a year, 15 cents a number.

There is no Appeal beyond Cæsar!"

The late world-renowned Dermatologist,

Sir ERASMUS WILSON, F.R.S.,

The FIRST AND ONLY

President of the Royal College of Surgeons

who ever gave a public Testimonial, and the following is

THE ONLY TESTIMONIAL HE EVER CAVE.

"If it be well to wash the skin-and we never heard the proposition questioned it is well also that we should be familiar with the means by which that purpose may be most efficiently attained.

"We once knew a beautiful woman, with a nice complexion, who had never washed her face with soap all her life through; her means of polishing were, a smear of grease or cold cream; then a wipe, and then a lick with rose water. Of course we did not care to look too closely after such an avowal, but we pitied her, for soap is the food of the skin.—

Soap is to the Skin what Wine is to the Stomach,

a generous stimulant. It not only removes the dirt, but the layer which carries the dirt; and it promotes the displacement of the old cuticle to make way for the new, to increase the activity of change in the skin. Now turn we to Toilet Soaps and there we find

a name engraven on the memory of the oldest inhabitant-PEARS.

PEARS' SOAP! an article of the nicest and most careful manufacture, and the most refreshing and agreeable of balms to the skin."

Insist on having Pears' Soap. Substitutes are sometimes recommended by druggists and storekeepers for the sole purpose of making more profit out of you.
