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 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
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair 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-
RATION for its intended purposes"

dreamed last night that II was gone,
Tho weary pain Of years
dreamed the stain was washed Rway
by my repontant tears;
Again | felt Fathers hand
laid gently on my head,
And low and gentle were the words
That he in blessing said.
Ny mother stood with out stretched arms
Extended to hor boy;
And sister NOlliss dark blue eyes
Were hlied with tears Of joy;
Again we gathered round The board,
Aud smiles were on each face,
And pleasure ruled the dieting hours
With her bewildering face.
And when my father knell IN prayer
Among that happy band,
l fondly knelt at msther's side
And olaspsd her loving hand,
just as | did in boyhood days
Before the shadow came
That blackened all our lieves with woe,
And stained the hUnored name.
Aud thick and fast my tear drops fell
AZ fathsr prayed for all,
And murmeYed "blest be thy denr name,
For thou hast heard our call !"
And Nellie kissed my brow,
felt the maddsning pain again,
just as | feel il now.
For oh, drank the sparkling rine
And fell beneath its powers
| took the life could moi give
In nm uuguarded hour
And though fed from justice far,
Through all these weary years,
I've heard my fathers bitter cry,
And seen my mothers tears.
Oh We who love the tempting glass,
List to my pleading prayer.
Turn ftnm the maddening mncking spell
The MuRDNRER's fate beware!
MY life is filled with bitter woe,
Ami Stri ped of pleasures flowers
