The fOEIOsUfng from che accomplished
editress of the Fomaa's Adrooafe, and from an old
druggist, speak for themselves. All should read

THE HAIR.-People have for centuries been af-
fiicted with bald heads, and the only remedy here
tofors known has been those abominable wigs
By recent discovery of Professor Wood, these
articles being fast dispensed with but great
many persons still patronage them because they
have been often imposed upon by Hair Tonics

nestly make the request that they will try once
again, for In Woods Restorative there is such
thing as fail. We know of lady who bald,
who used the article short time, and her head is
now covered completely with the tiniest and most
beautiful curls imaginable. We know Of numerous
cases where hair rapidly falling out, which it

for keeping the hair in good condition, making 1t

strange and wonderful it often seems to that
