A TTENTION 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 We're 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.
DIR. Jayne.-Dear Sir.-I feel that l 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
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 number of my friends, who all speak
well of it. If faithfully employed, 1 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
emit preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable
Hair Oil SC. &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 of the top
| of head, has had it completely restored by tue
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 U.S.
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 no,
only luxuriant growth Off 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

RICHES.

Every man is rich or poor accoding to the
proportion between his desires and enjoy.
ments; any enlargement Of wishes, is there.
fore equally destructive to happiness, with
the dlminution OF possession; and he that
teaches another to long for what he shall
obtain, is no less an enemy to his quiet, than
If he had robbed him of his p~atrimony.--
The rich lose all qualifications, because their
wants are prevented; and, added to the las.
siiude which follows safety, they have u
pride proceeding from wealth, which makes
them impatient at the loss Of pleasure, though
they have no enjoyment from the possession
of il. The odour Of ten thousand roses,
pleases but a moment; the pain occasioned
by one OF the thorns is long ielt. One hard.
ship in the midst of Injuries is, to the opu.
lent, a thorn among flowers. To the poor,
on the contrary, one indulgence in the midst
Of hardshirs, is a flower among thorus.-
They have a lively sense of 1.-THE effect OF
every thing is increased by contrast. Riches
are of no value in themselves; their use is
discovered only in that which they procure.
They are not coveted, unless by narrow
minds, which confound the means with the
end, tut for the sake Of power, influence,
and esteem: or. by some Of less elevated
and refined sentiments, as necessary to sen.
sual enjoyments. 1t almos. always happen,
that the man who grows RICH changes his
notions Of poverty, states his wants by some
measure, and from flying the enemy
that pursued him, bends his endeavors DOVER.
take those whom he sees before him
Wealth cannot confer greatness; for moth
ing can make that great, which the decree
Of nature has ordaine1 to be little; the BRAN.
BILE may be planted IN a hot.bed, but can
never become an oak.
