4 GRAND VIRGINIA DisCOV I1tsY :


n Some four months since, our excellent
townsman, NAPTHALI EZEKIEL informed us
that he had prepared hair restorer with which
he was experimenting upon, his own head
whose top was entirely bald. We saw him
two days since, and on the place so bald four
months since fine crop of hair has sprung up
with vigorous growth. So convinced is Mr.
EZEKIEL of the efficacy of his discovery that
he has named it 'sThe InfaIIible Virginia
Hair RestOrer.' Mr. Z. is about going into
an extensive manufacture of an article which
is destined to prove of anxious interest to our
bald pated friends.-From Richmond Enquirer,
Dec. 18th, 1859.
This famous article can now be had of the
principal Druggists. Those persons who de-
sire fine head Ofhair, have only to use the
restorer according to printed directions on the
bottle. Those who have any doubts of its eff
cacy, can have them removed in a short time.
