gloss and freshness Of yoHM. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off. 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 un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

would enable me to speak more plainly on any

1t may be true, as you suggest, that the
people will not vote for any man who will not
announce in public manner that, if elected,
he will serve them.
If so, they will never vote for me. should
regard such an announcement as one made OF
soliciting their support.
Ifthe Southern people did not know, before
[ said anything on the subject, that one OF the
candidates is man of transcendent ability, they
are siugularly slow Of apprehension. The deS-
olation Of which they complain is attributable
to him.
The long and disastrous war, that filled his

for he had the chills, and they d have to cure
him"
