REPARATOR CAPILLE.
For restoring hair upon bald heads from what
ever cause it may have fallen OUT and forcing
growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. 1t
viii 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. few
ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is
nothing that will force hasten the growth of
the hair or beard. Their assertions false, as
thousands of living witnesses from their own ex-
perienee) can bear witness But many win say,
how we to distinguish the genuine from the
spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, nine-tenths
of the different preparations 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

4 GRAND EPOCH In MEDICINE

DR.. Maggel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the uleerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one ito three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofuous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DIR. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating svaian-
ehes of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggfePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space OF time short enough to be almost cassed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts, and all abrassons
of the skin, Maggiels Salve is infallible.

THE wIYoNA BRIDGE BILL.
The Winoua Bridge Bill has reached
the Assembly committee, after passing
the Senate, and has been unfayorabIy
reported upon by the committee on Rail
roads, to which it was referred. The
vote in the committee stood five for in
definite postponement and four for re-
commenting its passage. A minority
rel ort was submitted 10y the four mem
bers of the committee, which report was
the same that was adopted by the SEN
ate committee upon recommending its
passage in that body.
The discussion upon the bill before
the Assembly railroad committee was ex-
citing, and large number of spect atoFs
were in attendance. The committee had
their session in the Supreme Court room.
Elk Senator Bowman, of Kibourn City,
and Angus Smith, of Milwaukee, pre-
sented the argument in behalf of the
friends of the bill, and Speaker Gamer
on. L. Loitridge, Isaac Usher, B. +.
Montgomery and DR.. Cameron, all well
known. prominent citizens of La Crosse,
opposed the bill, and in numbers, as well
as argument, had the vantage ground.
The bill for its passage will probably
come before the Assembly about Satur-
day next. The formidable lobby from
La Crosse are striving assiduously to de-
feat the bin, aud are now feeling conf
dent that the way they count "noses"
they are ahead on the war-path."
