70 A Young Lady returning to he1
country home, after sojourn of few
months in the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends. In place of course, rus.
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby COM
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 1t 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 it's 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 it's impurities,
kindly healing fhe same, and leaving the
surface as Nature intended it should be,
clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81

the face, it has no equal, 1t 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. Atew
ignorant practitioners have asserted that
there is nothing that VIII 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 ofthe different Preparations adver-
tised for the hair and beard are entirely
worthless, and you may have already
thrown away large amounts in their pur.
chase. To such we would say, try the Re
parator Capilli; it will cost you nothing
unless it fully comes up to our representa-
tions. If Your Druggist does not keep it,
