Lottery Mania.

The Lottery Mania in this State appears
to be greatly on the increase. The Board OF
Supervisors of Calaverss County style it s'the
fashion Of the times, "and recommend resortin.
to this fashion to raise means for paying their
onerous county debt. In various places schemes
have been got mp and are now before the
public for the purpose of raising money to aid
Schools Houses, Libraries and other public
purposes, the last enc in Sacramento is for
the purpose Of raising money to procure free
passages for emigrants from Europe to this
State. Since the Legislature let down the
bars by authorizing the Mercantile Library
Association TO hold Gift Concerts, the people
OF this State have gambled in this wav 10
the amount of two or three million dollars.
In few isolated instances the prizes nav
have fallen where good was done, but the
great mass OF persons investing in these schemes
have not only lost their money but in a meas
ure become demoralized by acquiring taste to
TAKEN chances. Notwithstanding an ex.
press Statute against such speculations The pa.
pers of the State contain the advertisements
OF two at Sacramento, at Msrysville, Placer.
vile. Vallejo and Colusa. one each and prob
ably in few DAYS CaIaveras will present an.
other. Worthy objects are set FORTH to benefi
for which these things are put before the peo-
pie. 1t is no credit to cur State TO show such
progress in trying to raise little money for
specific purpose when the greater part is
for the EXPENSE and gambling part of the
scheme. This question is che that should at
tract the attention of the next Legislature.
The law regulating such things should he
made stringent and operative or repealed en-
tirely.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
for the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware of the
injury they are producing. These prepare
tons have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent of the Dos
ton Medical Institute, who has been a sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than q
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it. without possibility Of injury.
81 hare tested a sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters erist in it.
c. T. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling off,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities its price, and its reputation. 1t is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at

press to any part Of the country. Pamphlet
