Does any know.a neighbor orfriend who was
Bald, and whose head is now covered with
fine hair? One whose coat collar was CO.
vered with dandruff, though brushed eve
ry hour-which is now vanished entirely.
Or one whose hair at an early age were

cred with acurf,-whose hair would not
grow, that are now growing the fullest
crops of hair p? Some cases must be
known to most persons Ask them the

things-buy this article. Stoy and pre-
serve your hair by its use, or if bald res
tore it, Ladies attend to thls--hundreds
in fashionable life are using as the only
article really fit for the toilet. Long hair
is very apt to fall out. Ladies, use the

1t is your duty, as moralist to preserve

CAUTION TO BE REMEMBERED.
Several most fragrant attempts have
been madeto counterfeit the trueBalm of

gone so far rs TO counterfeit the splen-

To avoid imposltions therefore, Always
