months ago, can now exhibit luxuriant heads
of hair by the use of it.

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 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 1t now about three months, and
have as full and thick a head of hair as can
possibly desire. have recommended its use
to number of my friends, who all sneak
well OF 1t. If faithfully employed, | have
no doubt of its general success. | NAV add.
that before using the Tonic, | had tried al,
most all the various articles employed for ti,e
hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the differ
ent preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable
Hair Oil, &c. &c. without experiencing much.

THE British Quarrel acith the Chinese.-The
following forcibe and just remarks on this
Subject are from the N. Y. Americana.
'This quarrel seems to us to reflect upon
the Christianity and Civilization of Great
Britain. Because the government of nation,
semi-barbarous, as they are deemed by our
race, refuses to permit the introduction and
circulation among the people of drugs fatal to
morals as to health, and after repeated at
tempts at arresting the traffic, finally and
summarlly seizes upon and confiscates the
whole of the forbidden article, with circum-
stances of indignity towards the British fac
tor and factories-is there cause of national
quarrel 2
Great Britain makes no scruple, on her part,
of dealing very summarily with smugglers-
confiscating their goods when caught and i'm
prisonng their persons, and that without ref
erence to the flag under which they may be
sailing. The trade, in opium, of the British,
was no more than smuggling trade, and the
Chinese have dealt with those engaged in it
more leniently than the British in like circum-
stances would deal with Chinese or Ameri-
can or French smugglers of tobacco, or other
products-prohibited or subject to heavy duty.
Then, again, the conduct of Captain Elliot,
an his frigate, firing upon the multitudinous
Chinese junks that attempted to impede his
departure from the dominons Of their Master,
and destroying several hundred lives, strikes
us as little better than wanton massacre.
The resistance that could have been offered
by these vessels, as the result proved, was not
worth moments consideration; and to dis
play towards them, therefore, and at such a
shocking sacrifice of human life, the vast su-
periority of an English war ship, was most
unjustifable.
The interruption or loss of so valuable a
trade as that with China, is indeed a serious
matter to Great Britain; but the acts of her
subjects brought about the result. They per-
sisted, In defiance flaws and edicts, and by
means of corruption lavished upon the Chi
nese subordinates, in carrying on an illicit
tfattic-until national patience or national
pride could brook no longer the open contra
ventlon OF the laws of the country. Then,
when force was applied to cut up, what edicts
and ordinances could not cheek, we hear from
the original wrongdoers the complaint of op-
preston and wrong.
