CHILDREN whose brain development is unu-
sually large in comparison with the body are
frequently singled out for premature final
resting place. Why is this? Simply because
the functions of the body are too frail to sup
ply the waste going on in the brain consequent
upon active intelligence. Fellows Compound
Syrup of Hyporhosphites is SO prepared that it
imparts the vital principle dire city to the brain,
while it assists in developing vigorous and TO-

A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE. whose
faces are clouded by superficial discolorations,
and who have resolved to try HAGAN's MAGNo-
Liza BALM as a remedy, have no idea of the
welcome surprise they will receive from their
mirrors after few applications of that health
full purifier of the complexion. If at all ex-
citable, they will scream with rapture on be-
holding the change; whether the blemish it is
desired to remove be sallowness blotches, PIN
pies, freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pal
lor, it is bound to disappear under the tonic
operation of this wonderful agent. To say that
the blemish disappears, does not, however,
convey any idea of the effect produced by this
celebrated beautifier. The unsghtly tinge,
whether 6iffucp1 tho vubo1p tpp a N
or in spots OF patches is replaced by uniform,
pearly bloom, to which no description can d
justice. aug-5-eod1 VS. wit
