REPARATOR oAPELLI.

For restoring hair upon bald heads, from whatever cause it may have fallen out and forcing growth of hair upon the face, It has no equal It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face, in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant practition- CTS have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false. as thous- ands e. living witnesses from their own ex- pcrience) can bear witness. But many VIII say, how are we to distinguishsthe genuine from the spuriousY It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Prepar2tions advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilii; 1; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up 10 cur representations. If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with a re- ccip, for the money, which will be raturned you on application, providing entire saiisfae- tion is not given.
