Totally Different From All Others

The ''London Hair Color Restorer" is the
most delightful article ever introduced to the
American people, and is totally different from
all other Hair Restorers, being entirely free
from all impure ingredients that render many
other articles for the hair obnoxious. Where
badness or falling of the hair exists, or pre-
mature grayness from sickness or other
causes, its use will restore the natural youth
full color and cause a healthy growth, cleans
ing the scalp from all impurities, dandruff,
etc, at the same time it is most pleasing and
lasting hair dressing, fragrantly perfumed,
rendering the hair soft and pliable, making
it an indispensable article in every toilet.

storer. Price 75c bottle; six bottles, for 81.

bold!
Heart beat against heart in their passions hold,
Your glances seemed driving my soul through my

AS your lips chung to mine till prayed in my

kiss,
You kissed me! My heart and my breath and my

Life had for me then no temptations. no charms
No vision of pleasure outside Of your arms;
And were I. this instant, an angel possessed
OF the Joy and the peace that given the blest,
would fling my white robes repiningly down.
And tear from my forehead its beautiful crown.
To nestle once more in that heaven of rest.
