THE ONLY DISCOVERY
Worthy Of any confidence for restoring
THE BALD AND GRAY.

BATH, Maine, April Is, 1859.
Prot. o. j. Wood & C0.--Gents. The letter
wrote to you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair
Restorative, and which you have published in this
vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to numerous
inquiries touching the facts in the case The nqui
res are first is it fact of my habitation and name
as stated in the communication; second is it true Of
all therein contained; third does my hair still con-
tnue to be in good order and of natural color? To
all | can and do answer invariably, yes. My hair
is even better than in any stage of my life for forty
years past more soft thrifty and better colored ;
the same is true of my whiskers and the only
why il is not generally true is that the substance is
washed off by frequent ablution of the face when,
if care were used by wipng the face in close con-
necton with the whiskers, the same result will fol-
low as the hair | have been in the receipt of a
great number of letters from all parts of New Eng
land, asking me If my hair still continues to be good;
as there is so much fraud in the manufacture and
sale of the various compounds as well this, it has
no doubt been basely initiated and used, not only
without any good effect, but to absolute injury.
remain, dear sir, A. G. RAYMOND
The Restorative is put up in bottles Of three sizes,
viz; large, medium, and small; the small holds
pint and retais for 81 the medium holds at least
20 per cent. more in proportion than the SMALL and
retals for so; the large holds quart 40 per cent.
more in proportion, and retails for 50.
