TOBACCO AT LYNCHDURG.-The Lynch
burg (Va.) papers state that the amount of to-
bacco now coming to that m Iriet is almost
fablous: every inch of space in the vast ware
houses is being filled day after day with the
fragrant weed.
At no period since the war has 50 large an
amount been brought TO that city for sale, and
indeed anterior to the war we doubt if, at any
season, the amount was larger. Notwiths,api-
ing the enormous quantities offered, prices are
well maintained, keeping up to the highest
notch.

Every year increases the popular
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it il
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd 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 dandruff, 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 vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
Streme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
rs it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
E,rI"N for its intended purposes"
