No pILLs IL THE WORLD ever hat


No PILLS ~ TIE WORLD ever had
anything like the circulation Of AY-
FRS Pills. Throughout these
States, Mexico, aGd tic Central
American republics. down The slopes
Of the Andes, and across the pampas
Of South America, in negro villages,
amid the fervid wilds of Africa,
throughout the jungles Of India, and
the steppes Of interior Asia. over the
continent of Australia. and the islands
of the Pacific, these PIrLs aIe
known and everywhere used as family
remedies for diseascs. With distant
nations, their won Ie5ful cures attract
moro attention than they doat home
for the sentiment Of wonder takes a
far deeper hold on their minds than
the results Of a high scientific skill
with Us. The amount consumed re-
quircs seventy five thousand dozen a
day to supply it. IA inspection Of
the mandatory showed us how this
enormous demand is made and sus-
tanned. Added to tie consumate
skill Of their composition, is an OK
trcme care in their manufacture,
which at once secures the most per-
feet material and their most accurate
combination The consequence is a
power and certainty in controlling dis
case which other remedies never at
tained.-Bd. Courier.

HairVigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stinu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling OFF, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton Of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious. substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING.
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving tia rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
