WORTH KNOWING.-prof. Wood, viii

WORTH KNOWlNG.-Pro Wood whose
advertisement will be found in an other column,
has discovered remedy for the gray and bald,
which is at once practicable and cheap There
can be no doubt whatever of its efficacy. We have
seen testimonials almost without number, and
from men of great intelligence, high standing and
moral worth.
Those who have been bald for years are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
younger than they did six months ago AS in
most cases gray hairs and bald heads are both
premature and unnatural, it is duty to remedy
them by the natural and undoubted means which
Prof. Wood has invented and now kindly offers
to the afflicted. Read his advertisement, try hii
wonderful remedy, and give the Prof. new tes
