color, aoith 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 new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, 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 formation of dandruff which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious SUBJ
stances which make soms prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
q 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 rich,
glossy lustrs, and grateful perfume.

A London correspondent states now
that the British government will not surren-
der Winslow until supplemental treaty has
been negotiated between Great Britain and
the United States embodying the principles
of the act of 1870. The correspondent also
says that communications are now passing
