TsOR THE HAIR--Among the many pre-
parations for the growth of.the HAIR, this
GoLDEn Gloss takes the lead. Three reas-
ons will be given why it is so universally used
and preferred to allothers. 1st, Because it has
roved the most efectual in Badness I'd, Be
cause it inphrts beautiful dark gloss and de-
lightful perfume to the hair Sd, Because the
Ladies, with fine discrimination, which. they all
possess, have adopted it. Many other reasons
could be given why it is a great faVorite, but
those who want more have only to give it a
trial. Price % cents in large bottles. For Sale
