A TTENTION BALD HEADS. NO A
FOR WIGS. OF all the re-

a L EIN IION BALD HEADS. NO a.
APOLOGY FOR WIGS. OF all the re-
NEEDLES ever devised for the restoration and
preservation of the HAIR, nothing has been
found equal to JAYNE'S HAIR TONIC.
1t seldom fails to restore the hair to health
and beauty. Many who were bald few
months ago, can now exhibit uxuriant heads
OF hair by the use oft.
Copy of a letter from DR.. S. S. Fitch.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10. 1888.
DR.. Jayne.-Dear Sir.-l feel that | can
hardly say enough to you in favor of the Hair
Tonic, prepared by you. My hair had been
railing Oil about two years, and had become
very thin, threatening speedy badness, when
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. haverccommended its use
to number of my friends, who all speak
well it. If faithfully employed, l have
no doubt of its general success. NAV 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, S. S. FITCH.
No. 172 Chestnut street.
Office of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who
had lost nearly all his hair from of. 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 conncc-
ted with the Public Press in Philadelphia
have also had their badness removed by u.s.
ing this remedy. The Rev. MIR. 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 luxnriant 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 "a faithful applica-
ton of this valuable remedy. There is there
fore, now, NO EXCUSE FOR A BALD
HEAD.

TODD'S PATENT
Feather Renovation.

I>HE subscriber having purchased the ex-
L elusive right to use Todd's Patent Steam
Feather Renavator, in this and several other
counties In Virginia, has had machine built
and put in operation by Mr.. George ID. Lam
caster, in the house where said Lancaster
now resides. BY the operation of this ma
chine, old Feathers that have been i'm use for
more than 20 years, are completely ceansed
(without injury,) from every thing like dust,
moth, or unpleasant odour.and are so entirely
renovated and enlivened that they assume the
appearance of new feathers, and are increased
in bulk at least one-third, so that three beds
equally large may be made out of the feathers
that two contained previous to renovating
them.-By the use of this machine the un,
pleasant odour that attaches to new feathers is
entirely corrected without injuring them in
the slightest degree.
Persons DESTROYS Of having their feathers
cleanscd and rendered pure and wholesome,
will please call OH Mr.. George ID. Lancaster.
who will at all times be ready to perform the
operation on the shortest notice and in the
most perfect manner.

TENHESE Pills are no longer among those
II of doubtful utility. They have passed a
way from the hundreds that are daily launch
ed upon the tide ofexperiment, and now stand
before the public as high in reputation, and
as extensively employed in all parts of the u
nited States, the Canadas, Texas, Mexico,
and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffer-
ing man. They have been introduced wher-
ever it was found possible to carry them and
there are but few towns that do not contain
some remarkable evidences of their good eff
fects. The certificates that have been pre-
sented to the proprietor exceed twenty thou
sand! upwards of five hundred of which are
from regular practising physicians, who are
the most competent Judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this med
icine been the subject of editorial comment,
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 a family med-
cine, and there are thousands of families who
declare they are never satisfied unless they
have supply always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and prevent
Ing Bilious Fevers, Fever and Aguc, Dyspep-
STA, Liver Complaints. Sick Headache, Jaun-
dice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlarge
ment Of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female

Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or
Saliow Complexion, and in all cases of Tor
Por OF the Bowels, where catlartic or an a.
Perient1s needed. They are exceedingly mild
in their operation, producing neither nausea,
DrlDinU. nor debiiitv

is considered unnecessary.

should be, a trial of the education of the ex-

The young Ladies evidenced perfect knowl
edge of all the subjects upon which they We're

French was more a la parisienne than have

taught by one who has perfect knowledge
of that beautiful and accomplished language.
