This is an age of inquiry and people arc
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
tvil 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 tho
injury they are producing. These prepara-
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
etances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
tlysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorcr prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent Of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been sue
eessful physician in Boston for more than
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 have tested sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Re'torer, and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters ernst in il.
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 q 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. It is
prepared by DR.. Il. Greene at the Medical In
stitutc, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at

the citizens of Brattleboro and vicinity
a theory based upon the Eclectic system
of practice, which has only to be known
to be duly appreciated
Electricity is thoroughly understood

1t is another significant fact, that much
larger proportion than formerly, of the
Senators and members of Congress and
other officials here, are keeping house, in
stead of living in hotels and boarding
houses. Most of them have been driven,
by the exhorbitant rent demanded for fur
nished houses, to purchase or build houses
for themselves. Thus Senator Edmunds
has one of the pleasantest and sunniest lit
tie places in Washington, situated on
high terrace, known as Highland Place,
near the intersection of Mass. Avenue
and Fourteenth street. Senator Morrill,
has just had erected plain, but elegant
house, fronting "the circle on Fourteenth
street and nearly opposite Senator Ed
munds' residence. TIE furniture is now
being moved in, and in few days it will
be followed by the Senator and his pleas
ant family. Hon. w. G. Smith has rented
a fine, furnished house., No. 1916 street,
where himself family and friends enjoy
the good cheer and comforts of a Vermont
home, which can scarcely DO had here with
out supporting Vermont household.

wear an air of solid home comfort, which
is heightened by the inevitable wood fire
