gloss and freshness of yOatth. 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 a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it win 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 dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious 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.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

The failure ofthe importing aud sugar house
of Sterling, Ahrens l. Co., of Baltimore was
announced late yesterday, and created much
excitement 10 business circles 10 that city. The
liabilities are estimated by the firm at about
two millions, and their assets, principally of
real estate, are said to be large. The firm
operated four re6Derics 10 Baltimore, and their
aggregate business is estimated at having been
in excess of twenty millions of dollars per an
num. 1t is not thought the suspension will
involve other houses. Over a million of dol
lars of the liabilities are held 10 Baltimore,
and most of the remainder in Cuba. The house
has been swamped by carrying large quantities
