A MISSIONARY to the South Sea Islands was so
unfortunate as to lose fine head of hair by sickness
and being unprovided with proper restoratives re.
turned to England to recruit his health. Barretts
Vegetable Hair Restorative had not then been dis
covered and regaining bis health the missionary
provided himself with n wig and returned TO the
scene of his abors The natives with natural sim.
plicity supposed he had obtained some hair seed
which he had planted on his poll and produced a
sionary humored this idea for while and promised
TO get them some hair seed, but finally astonished
them by lifting his wig. They all shouted with one
accord, "He has come from England with his head
matched" "
There are too many grey and matched heads at
the present day, and these would be fewer were the
use Of "Barretts Vegetable Hair Restorative" more
universal in the country. While it is not exactly
"hair seed" it will prevent premature balcness and
greyness and is a delightful article for the toilet.

greatly indebted to neighbor for the interest
manifested in the circulation Of paper and hope
