power, known as the Psychomotrope, guar
antees to produce a life-likc picture of the
future husband or wife of theapplicant, to-
gether with date of marriage, position in
HE, leading traits of character, &c. This

ASTROLOGY.
The W orld Astonished
At the Wonderful Revelations
Made by the Great Astrologist,
M adame E. A. PERRIGO,

g HE reveals secrets no mortal ever
~ knew. She restores to happiness
those who, from doleful events, catastro-
Plies, crosses in love, loss of relations and
friends, loss of money, &C., have become
respondent. She brings together those
long separated, gives information concern
ing absent friends or lovers, restores lost or
stolen property, tells you the business you
are best qualified to pursue and in what
you will be most successful, causes speedy
marriages and tells you the very day you
will marry, gives you the name, likeness and
characteristics of the person. She reads
your very thoughts, and by her almost su-
pernatural powers unveils the dark and hid
den mysteries OF the future. From the
stars we see in the armament the malefc
stars that overcome or predominant in the
confguration-from the aspects and posi-
tons of the planets and the fixed stars in
the heavens at the time of birth, she dedu
ces the future destiny Of man. Fail not to
consult the greatest Astrologist on earth.
1t costs you but a triae, ndyou may never
again have SO favorable an opportunity.
Consultation fee, with likeness and all de-
sired information, 81. Parties living at
distance can consult the Madame by mail
with equal safety and satisfaction to them
selves, as if i'll person. A full and explicit
chart, written out, with all inquiries answer

strictest secresy will be maintained, and
all correspondence returned or destroyed.
References of the highest order furnished

HVOR restoring hair upon bald heads
~ (from whatever cause it may have fall
len out) and forcing a growth of hair upon
the face, it has no equal. 1t will force the
beard to grow upon the smoothest face i'll
from FIVE to eight weeks, or hair upon bald
heads Ill from two to three months Afew
.'.lora;lt pre- stt:saers Lave asserted that
there is nothing that VII force or hasten
the growth of the hair or beard. Their as
sertions are false, as thousands of living
witnesses (from their own experience) can
bear witness But many will say, how are
we to distinguish the genuine from the
spurious! 1t certainly is difficult, as nine
tenths of the different Preparations adyer-
tised for the hair and beard are entirely
worthless, and you may have already
thrown away large amounts in their p,,r-
chase TO such we would say, try the Re-
parator Capilli; it will cost you nothing
unless it fully comes up to our representa-
tons. If your Druggist docs not keep it,

tyA Young Lady returning to her
country home, after a sojourn of few
months i'll the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends. In place of course, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby conf
plexiOn of almost marble smoothness, and
instead of twenty-three she really appeared
but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the
cause of so great a change, she plainly told
them that she used the Circassian Balm,
and considered it an invaluable acquisition
to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady
or Gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple
in its combination, as Nature herself is
simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing,
cleansing and identifying the skin and
complexion. BY its direct action on the
cuticle it draws from it all its Impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the
surface as Nature intended it should be,
clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81,
