that my hair was, a few months ago, very gray,

application, all dandruff has disappeared from my
head, and 1 have been troubled with no disa greea-
BILE itching of the scalp. lam satisfied, that those
who use it, will not regret it, as it gives the ap-

Country Girls.

Up in the early morning,
just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs at the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn
Spreading the whitening linen,
Down OF the bushes below,
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red strawberries grow.

Prof. O. j. Wood: As you are about to manu-
facture and vend your recently discovered Hair
Restorative, l will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that I have used it, and known others to
use it-that I have, for several years, been in the
habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and that
I find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know.
1t entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and with
one months proper use, will restore any persons
hair to the original youthful color and texture,
giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance
and all this, without discoloring the hands thai
apply it, or the dress on which it drops. would
therefore, recommend its use to every one desir
Gus of having a fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully, yours, WILSON KING.

CERTIFICATE.

This is to certify, that in the early part of 1856, l
grievously afflicted, and after availing my
self of all the medical aid in my reach, without
advantage, in despair | applied to DR.. Johnston,
Of the Baltimore Lock Hospital, who after an ex-
animation, frankly told me my case was almost a
hopeless one. He, however, gave me (gratuitous-
ly, for I was poor and unable to pay for it, some
of his medicines, telling me to go home and try
them, stating at the same time, he feared my case
had passed remedial agents. I returned home with
the certainty, almost, of soon filing a premature
grave. I was advised to give the medicine a fair
trial, which I did, and in a very short time I was
ncared-and now a year having elapsed, I am as
sound and healthy as I ever was.
Imake this statement in gratitude to DR.. john
ston, who will never see it, except perhaps in the
papers, and also to let all others know where they
may apply with the certainty of being cured, for
no one could be much worse than 1 was when 1
applied to DIR. Johnston. w. q. S.
Raleigh, June, 1856.
I know all the facts set forth in this Certificate
to be strictly true.-ED. SPIRIT of THE AGE.
