which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our Old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard /;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
Or FADED HAIR to It's youthful color,
making it soA, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruG,- and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
ozt, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By It's use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. "A. a. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care

RATION fer its intended purposes"

Scientific men in England were last
month greatly excited by the telegraphic
feat of sending a message direct to Bombay
and getting back an answer instantaneous
ly. Let it be remembered that the mes
SAGE had to 90 about six thousand miles,
that it was sent by the direct telegraph line
over land, and that ii was not like ordina-
ny telegraphs to be tclegraphed from sta
ton TO station. 1t had TO leave London,
betakc itself to the Continent, Invade Bel
GUM, pass through Prussia traverse the
Russian Empire, fit over the SHOWS of the
Caucasus, and flash through the rose gar
dens of Persia, to the shores of Hindostan.

atcly. Twelve thousand miles became as

destroyed by fire on Tuesday afternoon.
