NATT.ANS CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
has, in Il number OF instances produced a new
growth of hair; though it is not claimed that it
wli be successful in every case.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
is put up in large bottles, containing over half as
much more lis any other in the market, while its

of every human being to kick an old hat out of
his way whenever he may encounter it on the
sidewalk. | have seen men 60 into the middle
of the street simply to kick one of these dlapi,,
dated objects. A few years ago We noticed
away ahead most shocking hat, lying top
downward on the sidewalk. 4 tall, eonsequen
tial digni6ed looking person was walking, slow
ly on before, and, as he approached the diap-
dated tile, be raised his right leg and gave it a
vigorous kick, which ough to have sent it
across the street, and would have done so if
the hat hadn't been filled with paving stones
As he limped along We heard him mutter the
word 'd-n!' and his countenance, as We
passed him, wore an expression of dissatisfac-
tion --Bour'itch.
