GENTLEMEN:-For several months past,
my hair, which is naturally thicI, and of ra-
pid growth, has been coming out fast on
every application of the comb, that mad be-
gun to regard premature badness as ne
cessity from which could not escape, how
ever disagreealde its infection. While en-
deavoring to reconcile my mind to this fate
was recommended to try your SANCOMA,
or Food for the Hair; and having great faith
in your preparations, procured bottle and
submitted it to a fair experiment. | follow
ed the directions closely, and began to expe-
rlence the benefits Of the Preparation in less
than the space of a week. My hair has STOP
ped coming out entirely, and the most vigor-
Gus use of the comb and brush but rarely de-
tatches a single strand.
Being naturally grateful for the benefits
which SancOma has conferred upon me. I
furnish this certificate unsolicited and with
great pleasure.
Respectfully,
ED. S. GREGORY.

Agriculture.


The peculiar feature of this Institution, is
the blending of instruction in the theory and
practice of Agriculture with the usual sys-
tematic educational training. The several
sciences embraced in the course of study,
with such practical observations in the dali
ly lectures as indicate their bearing upon
farm operations, and instruction by illustra-
ton from the field and garden are the means
used to this end. 1t Is not to be presumed
that young man, in the course of acquir-
ing his education, can make himself prac-
teal farmer, but it is believed that our sys-
tenn, in connection with a well stocked, well
worked farm and the skillful practice of gar
den and orchard culture, has in it enough of
the merely practical to accomplish our ends
to put the Student in the way of becoming
thoroughly informed Agriculturalist,

Business.

In spite of the deluge Of the sum.
mer, and the extremely unfavorble
weather of the fall and winter, and
many other discouraging circum-
stances connected with the finances
which gave the croakers an opportu-
nifty to indulge 10 their favorite key,
the business showing Of Ottumwa,
for 1869, will make a larger aggre-
gate than any in her previous history,
and in most instances at profits which
are reasonably satisfactory. In fact
we have never known business
season when our merchants were
compelled TO buy SO often to meet the
demands of their trade: Among the
concerns of the city, which keep up
a stock, and feel out for the trade
naturally tributary to the city, COM
mensurately with our growingimpor-
lance, is that of s. CLANCY l. Bro, in
Union Block, in Ottumwa, and also
of Red Oak Junction, Montgomery
county, Iowa.
Sim CLANCY, the senior member of
this firm, bought an unusually heavy
stock Of goods in August, and owing
to their rapidly increasing trade, the
concern has been compelled to make
three heavy purchases since; the last
one Of which is just now arriving in
q large and varied assortment of such
goods as will theirstock season
able and complete.
We looked through their house this
morning, and were shown immense
piles of Muslins, Prints, Boots and
Shoes, Dress Goods, Hats and Caps,
Furs. Shawls, Tweeds, Cassimeres
and all sorts of Wcolen goods as well
as Cotton. which they purchased the
other day when gold was at the low
est notch. We were prepared to be-
lieve them when they informed us
that they ,coutd and could sell their
imm, nse stock for the next sixty
days little lower than any other
competing house.
The CLANCY Boys are clever, liber-
al and honest men. They, moreover,
have in the persons OF Captain Bills,
and Frank Knight two of the most
accomplished and accommodating
statesmen in the city. They own
their own store, and therefore don't
mark up any house rent on their
customers, consequently we conclude
that any of the town or country
readers Of the COURIER, who do not
already buy their goods at Chaney's
would do well at least to gointo their
elegant store, Union Block, Main St,

chases.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

PREPARATORY MEDICATION.

PREPARATORY MEDICATION
The human system. the most delicate and
sensitive of all created things, should be duly
prepared to meet the shock occasioned by a
sudden change in the temperature of the air.
Even the. solid metals contract and expand
under cold and heat-so that II man were COM
posed of iron, instead of frail tissues and f.
bers, circulating fluids and brittle osseous
matter, his frame would not be proof against
the vicissitudes of climate. AS It is. 1t be-
hooves every one, especially the feeble, to for
tify the frai tenement of mortality against
the inclemency of the present season. A
who'e some, neutrality-suspicious. vegetable ton
lie ana Alternative is the preparatory medicine
required, and among medicinal agents of this
character, HOSrETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS stand supreme. Ina sful career
of nearly quarter OF a centu ie prepara-
ration has never been equalled ., approached.
and itssales are now larger than those ofany
half dozen articles, purporting to belong to
the same class, that has ever been advertised
in this country. AS a remedy and preventa-
tive of DYSPEPSIA, and all its complications,
1t may be said to have lived down competition
and to be the standard specific of the Western
Hemisphere. A course of this genial restora-
tive at the commencement of Winter is the
surest safeguard against all the complaints
which are caused or aggravated by exposure
to cold
