Logan, of Illinois, and afterward with
drew them on the ground of the con-

'back-pay.' So far as Mr.. Harlan is
concerned there is no truth whatever
in the statement. First, he voted in
the Senate steadily against the propo.

the close Of the session, which was
also the closing Of his Senatorial term,
he settled up with the Government un.

gloss and freshness IF 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 stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrufi, which is often SO un-
clearly 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 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 it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
