 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; andit is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring GRAY OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and siIken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. It removes alleruptions and dandrufH 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. It is the most eco- nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used, as 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 I consider 1t the BEST PREPA- RATION for its intended purposes" Sold by GH Druggists, and Dealers sn Medicines.

st. Louis Republican: Had Mr..
johnson been willing to Join
hands with the dominant faction
in the Republican party-a faction
immensely reinforced by the assas-
sination of his predecessor-he
would have had an easy time dur
ing his presidential term, and in
all probability obtained q reelec.
ton. But he was too manly and
too honest to sacrifice his conyic.
tons for the sake Of ease and
popularity, and unhesitatingly
sacrificed both on the altar Of du-
ty. He endeavored to carry out
Lincoln policy in its letter and
spirit, and he failed, just as Lin.
coin himself would have failed.
with this difference, however,
that he fought longer and died
harder than Lincoln would have
done. johnson never knew when
he was beaten; Lincoln had the
happy faculty Of comprehending
the situation at once, and could
retreat so gracefully that defeat
was robbed of its sting, and his
enemies did not even dare claim
a victory. Death saved the one
from humiliation, and left the
other to wage a desperate contest
against overwhelming odds, and
triumph at last over the most
powerful coalition ever formed for
the destruction of public man.
