FRUIT AND PROMOTERS OF HEALTH
Fruits and berries this season OF the wear
are not only precious Injuries. but graf
promoters OF health. They act upon the
liver promoting that secretion naturally
which many are In the habit OF obtaining
only by the means of artificial medicines
They may avert many disease resulting
from torpid condition of the liver. An
other way in which they act benefeiallv is
in the mechanical effect their little Sc, DIS
produce in passing through the bowels.
very much the same as the watering of an
irritated eye-ball when any hard substance
touches that del cate organ, and this wa
ter, by dissolving the hardened contents
OF constipated bowels, keeps them In
healthier state than any pill or purgative
invented by the apothecary. There can
be no doubt that in the summer and fall
seasons persons who live mainly on fruits
and berries and coarse dry bread. can
almost insure exemption from sickness.
while those who eat heartily of solid meats
and vegetables two or three times a day
are liable to all the diseases the flesh is
heir to.

gloss aud freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
he hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrephied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that q new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
nent, it will keep it clean and vigorous
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrutf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious TO the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
