TODD'S LUX SOILS
H a I r d z Z y

TyHE market has been flooded for years with differ
Il ent articles called Hair Dyes. which have never
satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The NE
PLUS ULTRA has been reached at last in TODD'S
HAIR DYE, and the article has given entire salts
faction TO every person who has used it, 1t contains
injurious ingredients and gives the hair beauti-
full rich brown or black color. Directions for using
which are very smple-accompany each bottle.
One superiority of Todd's Lux Soils Hair Dye over
all others is you do not have to cleanse the hair or
wash it before after using the dye and there is
one kind TO be used, and that be put the same
oil and water, without any trouble, unlike all 9TH
dyes that have two three different kinds be
applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly
adapted for coorng ladies hair because you do not
have TO wash out the dye after putting it on. Unlike
all other dyes it will color long hair which other
dyes cannot do. Give this new article trial, as we
know you will use no other after once using this.

NO Organs of the human system are more impor-
= tant to health and comfort than the EYE and
EAR, and yet are less understood or more neg
lected. They seem to pass even common observation
and yet every part of the body is dependent upon
them for life and health.
Poor Richards Eye and Ear Water
Is a new and rare discovery. which Is most wonder
full in Its operations putting to blush the old systems
Of treatment. which have quite often done harm
rs good. Below we give the certificate of Rev r. S.

of this remedy they may learn of Its practical
value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr.. II.

fore, but determined to try It, and did with the most
delightful results. In very few days the painful
irritation was removed; could bear the strongest
light. and went forth to the enjoyment of life
now keep bottle of il always in the house. and II
my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, give IL
dose. and that is end of ii. would not be with
out it for any amount of money. take occasion to
say further. that my wife used to suffer severely at
times from protracted pain in and her eyes. and
