WooD-DEAR SIR i have heard much said OF
the wonderful effects OF your HAIR RESI-
RATlVE, bu; having been so often cheated by
quackery and qutck nUstrums, hair dyes &c, |
was disposed to place your Restorative in the
same category with the thousand and one loud
ly trumpeled quack remedies, until | met you III
Lawrence county SONS months since, when you
gave me such assurance as induced the trial OF
your Restorative III my tamlly-hrst by my
good wife whose nalr had become very thin and
entirely white, and before eXhausung one OF
your large bottles her hair was restored near.y
10 its original beautiful brown color and had
thickened and become beautiful and glossy
upon and entirely over the mead; she continues
20 use it, not SIMPLY because OF its beautIiylng
effects upon the hair, bat becaus" OF It's health
tai Iuhuence upon the head and mind. Others
of my family and friends are using your Resto-
ratlve, with the happlest effects; therefore my
skepticism and doubts III reference TO It's char
acter and value are entirely removed; and can
and do most cordially and confidently recon-
mend It's use by all VINO would nave their hair
restored from white or gray (by reason OF SICK
ness or age) TO original color and beauty, and
by all young persons VINO would have their hair
beautiful and glossy. Very truly and grateful
ly yours, SoLONoN MANN
FRIEND WooD 1t was long time after
saw YOU a. Blis,heId before | got the bottle at

upon your agent in Detroit, and when | got II
we concluded to try It on Mrs Manns hair, as
the surest test OF lis power II has done all
that you assured me il would do; and others OF
my family and friends having witnessed It's ef
terts. are now using and recommending lis use
TO others as entitled 10 the highest con'ldera
ton you claim Tor 1t. Again, very respectfully
