color, a0ith the gloss and freshness of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, SO that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious SUBJ
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing 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.

"GoD moves in mysterious way
His wonders to perform" Subsidy
Pomeroy, the sanity Senator from Kan
sas, whose attempt to repurchase a
seat in the United States Senate was
frustrated by York's exposure of his
bribery schemes, now appears upon
the scene in the role of an inventor, or
rather discoverer. He has COM
pounded an indelible ink for canceling
postage stamps, and has offered the
right to use it to the Government.
Had he succeeded in bribing the Kan
sas Legislature to re-elect him to the
Senate, or even had the indictment
found against him by Kansas Ora IA
Jury been prosecuted, it is not proba-
BILE that this valuable discovery, which
will forever put an end to the postage
stamp washing business, would have
been made. 1t is fortunate for the COM
try and the Government that he was de-
feated for the Senate, but it was ter
rible drawback to thievery.
