HAIR REST RATIV

UNHIS Astonishing and Unequaled prepa-
il ration turns hair back to it's original color,
after having become gray and renstates 1T in all its
original health, ustre. softness, and beauty re-
moves at once dandruff from the scalp and all un-
pleasant itching as well oil cutaneous eruptions
such as Scald heads, &c, and hence creates per-
fectly healthy state ofthe scalp, by acting stimu
lantsand tonic to the organs necessary to supply color
ing matter to the hair and completely restores them
to their original vgor and strength, and thus pre-
vents all tendency to become gray. 1t also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off,
and brings it out where it is gone by resuscitating
the organs necessary to supply nutriment, health,
and cooring matter to it. and hence acts as perfect
Hair Invigorator and Tonic.

the transportation of heavy burdens, has
been made with complete success in Texas.
These animals seem to have experienced lit
tie or no suffering on the account of change
of climate and heritage, from Asia to North
America, and it is thought they will easily
habituate themselves to the new country to
which they have been transferred, at least
in Texas. Over roads well nigh inpassa-
bic to ordinary wagon trains, the camels
heavily laden, moved with celebrity beyond

sion, under u burden of nearly four hun
