A WHOLE PEOPLES OPNIoN,-When ma
tion o forty millions accepts and endorses as a
STANDARD RESTORATIVE an article that has
had the fullest opportunities of testing during
period of twelve years, who can be so absurd
ly incredulous as to doubt the excellence of the
preparation? PLANTATION BrTTERs has pass
ed through this ordeal and is now the most
popular proprietary medicine on this continent
1t would be difficult to find an adult of either
sex between the Atlantic and the Pacific, or be-
tween the northeast corner of Maine and the
Gulf of Mexico, who does not know, either
from personal experience or observation, that
this renowned vegetable remedy is the purest
tonic and stomachic and the finest Alternative
and regulating medicine at present before the
world. As a preventive of, and cure for, dis
eases generated by malaria, and as a specific
for dyspepsia, rheumatism, and all nervous and
bilious affections it is admitted to be fairly pro-
nounced the FAAoRITE HOUSEHOLD Tonic
AND ALTERATIvE of the Western Hemisphere.

better chance to increase the value of the
property and business ofthe citizens of Port
land and ogdensburg and the country and
villages through which that road will pass as
tnere was between Portland and Montreal
twenty-five years ago. Now if every man,
and tc0mdn too (women have rights
in railroads) who have the honor
and prosperity OF our city and coun-
try at heart would sit down and
make an intelligent and fair estimate of
the cash value it will be to their property and
business, and subscribe one-half of the
amount to the stock of the Portland & Og-
densburg railroad, clearing one hundred per
cent. on the first Investment, there will
be plenty of money to finish the road, and
that mountain gorge will soon rattle as Ii a
little earthquake were passing through it..
As to the certificates of stock and the exam
pie, would have them carefully filed away,
in some of the fire-proof boxes now being fur
nished in the city, for the especial benefit OF
our children and grandchildren and we
ought to be satisfied with leaving so good a
mark and doubling our money on our proper
ty and business.
L am in the habit of comparing the value of
property with what ii costs. Now will the
p. q o. railroad be worth to the cities of
Portland and Ogdensburg and the towns and
villages through which it shall pass as much
as It will cost? believe that every man who
will look through it with the eye of a states
man, will pronounce it worth four times as
much.
As to our brother Enterprise we wish
him God-speed. Manufactures and railroads
are twin sisters-each is lever to the other.
We wish him fair field, hope he may enlist
an army of Spragues and Lawrences. Spread
ing two million dollars among our working
population would vitalize business immensely

BUSINESS NOTICES.

TEN BEcAUsEs.-A hundred reasons might
be given why Lyons Katharion should be used
by every intelligent human being in preference
to any other preparation for the hair, but ten
will suffice. Here they are: Because it nour-
ishes the fibres, multiples them and makes
them grow because it thus prevents them from
whitening and bleaching; because it removes
the scurf and dandruff which choke them as
tares choke the golden grain; because it keeps
the scalp cool and prevents sruptions; because
it renders the hair as lustrous as satin; because
it makes it plant and elastic; because it is a
fragrant and fine dressing; because it does not
soil the pillow the cap or the hat; because it is
without rival in cheapness, and because no
other article sold for the same purpose, in this
or any other country, possesses all, or even one
half, of these invaluable properties.
