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 dandruf, 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 yigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme oldage.- 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DREssINe ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayero Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fallyselected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

PARTON'S LIFE OF GREE
LEEY.

One OF the most interesting
and valuable of Afican BIZ
ographies, Is the "Life OF Hor-
ace Greeley" by James Parton.
The life of Mr.. Greeley has
been closely interviewer with
what has been most command
ing i'll American affairs for
more than a third of O century
Indeed, this story of his lie
gives the reader by no means
an inadequate glimpse Of
American history for the past
thirty years. 1t is the story OF
a life that commenced iE the
greatest obscurlty, and has
grown into the greatest emf
nence. 1t has been a busy life,
the busiest, probably, in the
land, crowded with events full
Of brave words and generous
deeds, and marked by peculiar
tiles greater, than, perhaps,
those of any other American
citizen.
The subject, therefore, would
command respectful and eager
attention, though handled by
an unskillful pen. But Mr.
Parton is a master. He has
long been well and widely
known in our literature. He
is a keen and brilliant essayist;
an lnclsive and sparkling wrl-
Ter of English, and a careful
and exhaustive searcher after
facts. He does not touch a pen
to paper in the composition Of
a book, till the entire field oI
investigation has bee n explor.
ed, and everything directly or
indirectly bearing on his theme
thoroughly digested.
In preparing this work, he
spent several months in visit
ing the town where Mr.. Gree
ley Was born and the various
places where he subsequently
lived, collecting all the inior-
nation about his early life that
it was possible to obtain. ltis
not therefore, a hastily or lily
contrlved book, labeled "Life
of Greeley" but work which
will always be the authorita-
tive record of the three-score
years of Mr.. Greeley's life that
have already passed into histo-
ry. 1t would be a valuable ad
dition to any library at any
time, but just now, its oppor-
tuneness gives it added inter
est. i8nr
tits elegantly bound, well
illustrated; and in considera-
ton of the great popular de
mand for the work it is sold for
a little more than half the
ruling book prices. Agents
wanted in every county. Is
