Mosr RESPECTABLE FIRMS IN THE MARI
TINE Provinces.
HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 4th, 1871.
JAMES I. Fellows, Esq.-Dear Sir: Our
sale of your Compound Syrup Of Hypophos-

any other medicine. We have had from you
within the past year, six hundred cases Of one
dozen each, which have gone into almost ev-
cry part Of the province, and given, so far as
we know, UNIVERSAL sAT1srAcT1oN.
AS it isno "quack medicine, but compound

of Pharmaceutical science, we trust you will
not allow the public to lose sight of a remedy
so we'll calculated to be of PERMANENT VALUE.
Yours very respectfully,
Mays +&w1w AVERY, Brown & Co.

London, 30. An influential meeting was
held at the Mansion House last evening OF

of warm sympathy for the suffering Israelites

lace.
Commander Chas. Brand retired officer
of the royal navy, died yesterday. He was
present at the capture of Washington by the
British in 1914.
Paris, 30. The trial of Chateau Tor setting
fire to the Tuilleries terminated yesterday
with verdict of guilty, and the prisoner
sentenced to be shot.
Madrid, 30. The excitement over Ser
ramos generous treatment of the insurgents is
very great. The stormy scenes in the Cortes
have served to intensity it. 1t is probable
that the marshal with other ministers who
have accepted positions in the new cabinet
will resign, should the King insist on making
Serrano Premier as Is rumored.

NIrALIzE THE HAIR.-Why does the hair
become harsh and dry-why does it become
gray? Simply because the life has gone out
of it, The tibers draw sustenance from the
scalp as the grass draws aliment from the soil,
and when the supply of nutriment is cut off in
either case the product withers and dies. AT
the first symptom of decay, therefore, the UNI
fed or half fed roots of the hair should be re-
ireshed and reinforced with Lyon KATHAIRoN
the only preparation which will nsurish the
filaments and keep them in a vigorous condi'
ton after they have begun to suffer from a
deficiency of their natural stimuant. As
long as the Katharon is faithfully used, with
a proper deg, ee of friction, morning and ev.
ening, 50 long will it be impossible for the
hair to whiten or fall out from the scalp.
