Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
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 its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff; and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create 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
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Buckfeid.

Saturday was day OF politics in Buck
field. Three representative caucusses
were held, viz: the Liberal Republican,
Democratic and regular Republican.
Some twenty of the Liberals met and
presented the names of Col. A. ID. White
and Alfred Cole as candidates for the
Legislature, but neither party seemed TO
know their strength. and no ballot was
taken-but q committee was chosen TO
advise with the democracy, and subse-
quently reported i'll substance that the
Democratic Caucus did not recognize
the Liberal Caucus-after which report
the Liberals adjourned without day.
The Democrats then nominated Mr..
Cole in their Caucus as the democratic
candidate. Whether the Liberals in the
District will allow the Democracy TO
thus snub them, remains TO be seen II
was talked outside that Col. White was
the choice of the Liberals.
