HENRY D. TURNER would respectfully in
Ii form thecitizens of Raleigh, and of the sur
rounding country, that he has the largest and best
stock of Books and Stationary ever offered for sale
in the city of Raleigh.
Believing that the wants and taste of every COM
munity required one establishment similar to those
found in the large Northern cities, where a full
and general assortment of Books can be obtained,
the subscriber has been induced, during a recent
visit to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, to
purchase from the principal publishers, and at the
great "Trade Sale" a superior stock of School,
Classical, Law, Medical, theological, Religious and
Miscellaneous BOOKS, which will, upon exami-
nation, compare with any t. be found in the South
ern or Northern country.
My stock of Foreign and American Stationary
is very large and complete. It has been selected
with great care, and embraces every article requir-
ed for the School and Counting room.
My stock has been bought upon the best terms
and a large portion for cash, which will enable me
to sell my goods at )rices far below former rates.
Booksellers in adjacent towns and country Mer.
chants will find it greatly to their advantage to ex
anime my stock before going North.
Colleges, Schools and Teachers will be supplied
at Northern prices.
By special arrangements with the principa
houses North, I shall receive their new Books a
they are issued from the Press, and will suppl,
any or all of their publications at their prices.
Orders from the country will meet with promp
attention, directed to H. D. TURNER,

ANN ARBoR, November 5, 1856.
PRoF. o. J. WooD-Dear Sir: l have beard
much said of the wonderful effects of your Hair
Restorative, but having been so often cheated by
quackery snd quack nostrums, hair dyes, DC, 1
was disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one loudly trum-
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 family-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 thiesened and
become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely
over the head she continues to use 1t, not simply
because of its identifying efec s upon the hair,
but because of its heathful influence upon the
head and mind. Others Of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the happiest
effects; therefore, my skepticism and doubts in
reference to its character and value are entirely
removed and I can and do most cordially and
confdentially recommend its use by all who would
have their hair restored from white or gray (by
reason Of sickness or age to original color and
beauty, and by all young persons who would nave
their hair beautiful and glossy.
