1t Is unnecessary to present at length the evi.

pberous when the public have furnished such an
endorsement as this. The cheapness of the articIe

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-
tation. It acted like charm. The ladies would
not be without it. Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it; and thus was built up wholesale
trade of an extent hitherto unheard of as regards
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
yet been reached and it is believed that the sales
