A GLORIOUS REcoRD.-Twelve years
ago q few modest lines in New York
journal invited public attention to a
new Vegetable Restorative, and solicit
ed a trial of its merits as remedy for
indigestion, biliousness, fever and ague,
debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism,
and all complaints requiring invigor.
ating and regulating treatment. In
this quiet, unpretentious way, PLANrA-
TON BIrTBRs was introduced to the
world. 1t was a success from the be-
ginning. All that was claimed for it
as tonic, a corrective and antidote to
malaTious fever, was found to be strictly
true. Within FIVE years the annual
sales of this article amounted to over
One MilHon Of Bottles. A few years
more and the demand had swelled to
f,x millions. The annual consumption
of the bitters has now reached the
almost incredible aggregate OF SIX MIL.
LIONS OF BOTTLES, and for every bottle
sold a copy of the ILLUSTRATED MRDI-
CAL ANNUAL, published BY the proprie-
tora, at cost Of $50, 900, is given away

was given to the members of the Legislature
at Providence, and Narragansett preacher,
called the Irregular PAGER" because in his
prayers he had Il habit Of standing behind a
chair, stepping backward and hitching it after
him, was called on to ask blessing. He
stood up in his usual style and began a
lengthy prayer. There was an open door be-
hind him. and he soon unwttingly backed in
to an adjoining room, taking his chair along.
when some one softly closed the door, and
the hungry guests proceeded to dine, when
the petition was finished at leisure by the

THE GREAT HAIR PRopUcER. Hair Oils
Pomatums and Pomades have had their day.
They belong to the musty past. Nobody that
understands the chemistry of the hair and the
philosophy Of its growth thinks of using them.
Instead of clogging the pores of the seal with
thick onguents, and thus obs,ructing the in
sensible perspiration which is essential to the
health of the 6bers, we now tone the surface
OF the head with an invgorating application
which penetrates to the roots of the hair and
stimulates them in the same way that the fer
tilizing agents spread over the meadows slim
ulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth with
verdure. The invigorant best adapted to this
purpose is LYONS kATHAIRoN. 1t may well
be called the fertilizer of the head. To the
barren scalp it communicates the vegetative
power. If the hair is dropping out or becom-
ing dry und withered, it arrests the process
of dilapidation or blight. The hair thickens
and becomes glossy and flexible under its ge-
NAL operation. and as a dressing it is unap-
preached by any preparation that has yet
been laid on the toilet of Fashion.

The deleg ties elected to the Philadelphia

The platform is sound in every respect

Mr.. Greeley thinks there should be no
dominating conventions in American politics,
but that each voter should get up on election
mornings and vote for that man whom he,
without consulting anybody else, considers
most fit for the place in question. This is
utopan in its simplicity and will result in
giving the bad men in the State, who will
combine over night in spite of Mr.. Greeley,
the entire control of the Offices to their hearts
content. Edmund Burke understood this and
said: "When bad men conspire, the good
must combine, else they will fall an easy
prey TO the superior tactics of their oppo-
nents." You can as easily govern free
country without laws as without parties. 1t
is only when honest men unite with parties
and do the legitimate party work to the ex-
cluson of selfseekers, that parties will be
pure and efficient tor good, and true public
opinion govern the country.
