A BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF
GLOSSY HAIR,
COMPLETELY PRESERVED
TO THE AGE.

And who that is gray would not have II restored
to former color; or bald, but would have the
growth restored, OF troubled with dandruf and
itching but would have it removed. on troubled
~scrUfula, seald head, or other eruptiOns, but
would be cured, or with a sick head ache,
(neuralgia) but would be cured. 1t will also re-
move ali pimples from the face and skin. Prof.
Woods Hair Restorative will do all this, see cir-
cular and the following:

Restorative, but having been SO often cheated by
quackery and quack bostrums, hair Dyes, &C., L
was disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one LOUDLY tIUm-
peted quack remedies, until l met You in Law
renee county some months since, when you gave
me such assurance as induced the trial of your
Restorative in my fsmiIy-frst by my good wife,
whose hair had become very thin and entirely
white, and before exhausting one OF your large
bottles, her hair was restored nearly 10 its original
beautiful brown color, and had thiekebed and
become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely
! over the head she continues 10 use it, not imply
because of its beautifying efiec 3 upon the hair,
but because of its heathful influence upon the
head and mind. Others Of my family spd friends
are using your Restorative, with the hsppiest
effects; therefore, my skepticism snd doubts in
reference to its character and value are entirely
removed and l can and do most cordially and
confdentially omm its use by all who would
have their hair restored from white OF gray (by
reason Of sickness or sge,) to original color ant
beauty, and by ali young persons who would haV'
their hair beautiful and glossy.
Very respectfully and gratefully you're,

THR RIeHERMAN.

THE FIHHERMAN.
There lived n hnhest fisherman,
] know him passing well,
Who dwelt hard BY q little pond, 81
Within q little dell.
A grave and quiet nan was he,
Who loved his hook and rod;
so even ran bis line Of life,
His neighbors thought II ODD.
For science and for books, he said,
He never hal q wish;
No school for him was worth a hg,
Except a !" school Of fish"
This single minded fisherman
A double calling had
To tend his flock IN winter time,
In summer fish for shad.
In short this honest fisherman
All other tolls fursoOk,
And though no yagrant man was he,
He lived by " HOOK and CROOK"
All day that fisherman would sit
Upon an ancient log,
Aud gaze into the water, like
Some sedentary frog.
A cunning fisherman was he,
His ANGLES we're all RIGHT
And when be scratched his aged POLE
You'd know he'd got q BITE.
To charm the fsl, no never spoke,
Although his voice was fine ;
He found the most convenient way,
Was just 10 {" DROP A line"
And many a " gudgeon Of the pond"
IL mhde to speak to-day,
Would own with grief, the angler had
A mighty " TAXING WAY"
One day while fishing on a log,
lie mourned his want Of luck,
when suddenly Re felt u bite,
And jerking caught a DUCK.
Alas that day the fisherman
Had taken too much grog,
And being but a landsmRn, too,
He couldn't KEEP THE LOG"
In vain he strove with all his might,
And tried 10 gain the shore
Down, down he went to feed the fish,
He'd baited oft before!
The moral Of this mournful tale
To all is plain and clear;
A single drop too much" of rum,
May make q watery BIER.
And he who will not sign the pledge
And keep the promise fast,
May be, in spite Of fate, a sTIFR
