Restoratives of the day, that are made to be

The Hair, when diseased, becomes harsh aud
dry, and commences to turn grey, which is caus-
ed by the non secretion. by the capillary glands.
OF peculiar oil. II has heretofore been thought
and believed that il the glands were stimulated
into action, they would still gvea sufficient sup
ply of nourishment 10 the hair; hut alas! they
forgot one very important law of nature, viz.
that al stmniants haze their reaction; and the
more the glands were stimulated he sooner the
final loss of the much priced locks.
The principle of the Preparation invented by
PROFESSOR CRocKETr is entirely the oppOsile;-
instead uI stimulating the capillary glands, no
feeds them NTH TIE substance they require, and.
in turn, the Hair is fed by them on the same
principle rs giving water To Hover.
PROFESSOR CROCKETT is aware of the fact that
the carpings of the invidious will in u great
measure prevent many sensible persons from
using the AMYGDALINE; but the day is passed
when great remedy could be cried down by
pSeud0- science. All we will say to those who
are timid about trying new preparations is that
we strictly guarantee the AMYGDALINE to he

The Atlantic MONTHLY.

The enterprising publishers of the Atlantic
Monthly, Messrs. Ticknor d Fields, Boston,
are sparing neither effort nor expense to make
their journal worthy, every way, of the Amer
lean friends of Literature and Art. The JAN
uary number presents many improvements
Among its talented corps of correspondents
we notice such names as those of Byrant,
Lowell, Longfellow, Whittier. Holmes, Mrs.
Stowe and others scarcely, If any inferior,
making up galaxy of talent unrivalled by
any other publication on the continent At
no time has the Atlantic been so fiourishing
as now. Its subscription list has increased so
largely that during the year 1884 it has had an
average monthly sale of over $4,000 copies,
making an aggregate sale for the year of more
than half million numbers. In. the mechan-
ical appearance of the Atlantic there is but
one thing to which we object. 1t Is now
printed on the old English style of type, such
as was in vogue century since. We regret
to see this disposition to ignore Improvement
In art, and to go back Tor models to the infan-
cy of printing. The old style letter is not
pretty, always looks like half-worn type, and
its adoption is prompted by literary suobbish-
ness, rather than by independence and good
taste. With this slight qualifications we CON-
mend the Atlantic as model magazine.

FOR THE CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness. Difficult
Breathing, and all Affections Of the Throat,
Bronchial Taoes and Lungs, leading
to Consumption.
This sovereign remedy is compounded from the
favorite recipe OF an ilusrious Physician and Chem
ist who for many years used it with the most COM
plete success in his extensive private practice.
he hal long been profoundly impressed with the
wonderful virtue of honey Of the plant Horehound,
inunion with the Cleansing and Healing properties
oftar extracted from the Life Principle ofthe forest
tree A6ies BaIsanseG or Balm of Gilead For years
he was bafso in his attempts to blend these great
medicinal forces into such unto that the original
power of each would be preserved the disagreeable
qualities of common tar removed, and the price Of
the compound be within the means of all. At last,
AFTER long course of difficult chemical experiments
he found that by adding to these ve other ingredi
ents each one valuable by ITSELF he not only obtain
cd the de tired results but greatly increased the
curative power of the compound. This having been
thoroughly tested by practice, is now offered to the
general public safe, pleasant and infalble REM

Geographical Distribution Of Offioas.

The Western portion Of the State will not
be accused of having an undue proportion Of.
the State offices, nor can she, on this ground,
be considered unreasonable in insisting upon
the election of Mr.. Fessenden to the U. S.
Senate. The Governor and one U..S senator
reside on the Kennebec-in Augusta. The
other senator, appointed to ill out an uuex-
pired term, is from Rockland. The Secretary
of State is from Dover, Piscataquis county =
The Land Agent, Adjutant General and At
torney General are all from Bangor. So far
not one is from the Western portion Of the
State. The only remaining State officer is the
Treasurer, who is from Alfred, but he cannot
be re elected under the provisions of the con-
stitution.
Tnen the Judiciary. There are eight judg-
es on the bench. One of these resides on the
Kennebec. Three of them are taken from the
section OF the State west Of the Kennebec,
and four of them from the East,-one residing
in Belfast and three in Bangor. Surely the
selection of U. s. Senator from the West
ern portion would not seem to be giving an
undue preponderance of official influence to
that populous portion of the Commonwealth.
