GIVE THE PRINTER FAIR PLAY.-Wt have q piece of advice, says an ex- change, we wish to fix indelibly upon the public mind, that is to give the printer fair play.
 Do not forget that it costs som ethng to "puff" as we'll as advertise and never spunge in any way whatever. Ii is the printers ink that makes nine- tenths of your fortunes it tmakes mon- ey to buy ink, type and paper, and yet after all this, few are the thanks that the printer gets. Give the printer fair play give up all expectations of gratu- itous puffing, etc., and come down with your remuneration. The great Amer ican statesman, Webster, was right when he said: "Small is the sum re- quired to patronize newspaper; am ply regarded its patron no matter how humble or unpretending the Gazette he takes. It is next to impossible to fill a sheet with printed matter without put ting something into it that is worth the subscription price,"

REPARAT0I CAPiLLI.

Throw away your false frizzles your switches, your wig
 Destructive of comfort, and not worth fig Come aged, come youthful, come ugly aud fair, And rejoice in your own luxurisnl hair.
 REPARATcR CAPzLLI.
 For restoring hair upon ealG 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 smoothcst face, in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant practitiou- 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 of living witnesses from their own ex- perience) eau bear witness But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious. It certainly is difficult, as ninc-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have slready thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capili; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with re- ceipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfac- ton is not given.
