by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follices are destroyed,
or the glands atrophicd and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous aud
injurious to the hair, the Nigor can

Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit. 1t is

II is with the greatest satisfaction that announce

the 9th District. The convention could not possibly
have made better selection. Judge Watkins has
been living in Louisiana for many years aud is fully
identified with the interests of the people. His repu-
tation ms a lawyer is second to that Of no one in the
district. As judge he gave universal satisfaction by
the irmness and infexibtg with which he enforced
the law. We have known Judge Watkins well for
many years. and have for him the highest regard
