1t is unnecessary to present at length the evil

pberous when the public have furnished such an
endorsement ais this. The cheaphess of the article,
and the explanations given of its chemical action
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases Of
superficial irritation, first recommended it to
the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec.

not be without it. Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it and thus was built up wholesale

Our objection to the striking out of the Ia K

OF residence. In our cities and large towns il is
impossible tor those who preside at the polls to
know the voters, and hence those w no have been in
the State but few days may come forward and
claim the years or six months residence and If
they can obtain interiopers like themselves to
swear to the fact of their residence in the State
and city the requisite period of time they must be
allowed to vote. In this way frauds may be COM
United at our elections. The honest voter the
