A TTENTION BALD HEADS. NO a.
APOLOGY FOR WIGS. OF all the re-
medies ever devised for the restoration and
preservation of the HAIR, nothing has been
found equal to JAINE'S HAIR TONIC.
1t seldom fails to restore the hair to health
and beauty. Many who were bald few
months ago, can now exhibit luxuriant heads
of hair by the use oft.
Copy of a letter from DR.. S. S. Fitch.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10. 1888.
DR.. Jayne.-Dear Sir.-I feel that can
hardly say enough to you in favor of the Hair
Tonic, prepared by you. My hair had been
falling off about two years, and had become
very thin, threatening speedy badness, when
l commenced using this remedy. In about
one week it ceased to fall off.
have used it now about three months, and
have as full and thick head of hair as can
possibly desire. have recommended its use
to a number of my friends, who all speak
well of it. If faithfully employed, l have
no doubt of its general success. may add
that before using the Tonic, had tried al
most all the various articles employed for the
hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the differ
ent preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable
Hair Oil, &c. &c. without experiencing much,
if any benefit.
Respectfully yours, SIS. FITCH.
No. l72 Chestnut street.
Mr.. Bond, one of the Compositors in the
office of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who
had lost nearly all his hair from off the top
of head, has had it completely restored by the
use of this TONIC. Two Officers of the
American Navy had good heads of hair re-
stored to them by using five bottles each of
this HAIR TONIC, one of them was over
sixty years of age. Four gentlemen connec-
ted with the Public Press in Philadelphia
have also had their badness removed by US
ing this remedy. The Rev. Mr.. PARKER,
PASTOR of the PRESBYTERIAN Church in De-
laware County, Pa. who was completely
bald over all the top of his head, and was,
also become considerably GREY, has used
only two bottles of this TONIC, and has not
only luxuriant growth ofnew hair upon his
head, but all the GRAY HAIRS have disappear
ed, and their places have been supplied by
healthy hair, of natural colour. Finally,
nine cases Of badness out of every ten may
positively be removed by faithful applica-
ton of this valuable remedy. There is there
fore, now, NO EXCUSE FOR A BALD
HEAD.

in various newspapers and journals; and it
may with truth be asserted, that no medicine
Of the kind has ever received testimonials of
greater value than are attached to this.
They are in general use as family meai

declare they are never satisfied unless they
have supply always on hand.
