FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
1, -7 The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this eelebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
4rey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by limply combing it through the hair), and pro-
tuces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
an be inconlestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
-I•lleation, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots tin. Use latest period of life. Price ,as. Si., is.. acid lOs

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
east broken health, are the great hindrances te domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice derailed tkat health should form an item
in the compact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S
