Every year increases the popularity
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 perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by it's use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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 new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
Sold By all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.

which will neither rub nor wash of.

Bread Receipt.

Susan Everett, M. D., sends the follow
ing from lady who attended one of her
courses of lectures. The author states
that twenty-five years ago she attended
course of lectures on hygiene, and the
lessons she learned has enabled her to
keep in good health ever since. She sent
this receipt with loaf of delicious brown
bread to Mrs. Everett during her course of
lectures at Perth Amboy, N. j. We re.
greet that we are not permitted to give the
lady's name:
1--WE make our own yeast, from hops Of
our own raising. The vine makes de-
lightful shade for the south end of our
back porch, and from that vine we gather,
the last of August, hops enough for our
own use during the year, and also for some
OF our friends.
"To three pints of water put handful
of hops, and boil them half an hour; put
into your yeast pot or jar six tablespoon
fuls Of flour and one teaspoonful of salt,
set your jar near the kettle and drip the hop
tea into the jar through sieve, or colan-
der. When you have strained enough to
wet all the flour, stir it well, and then
strain upon it the rest of the hop water.
The mixture should be about the consist
ency of batter for griddle cakes. When It
is cool, not cold, stir in gill Of good yeast,
set it in warm place; do not cover il
close. When fermented. put it in a cool
place and cover close.
"This is the yeast from which we SET
our white bread at evening. The next
morning we take good handful of the
dough, put it in large yellow bowl and
add teaspoonful of salt, a half a cup Of
molasses, pint Of lukewarm water and
enough Graham flour, making dough
softer than for white bread; set it to rise
and bake. We do not k,aead this bread
This makes two loaves. Brown bread ii
not improved by sugar."-Herald o
