Science has accomplished no
more wonderful or gratifying re-
suit than the perfection of an anti
dote to the chilling signs of APP
preaching age, sometime to oblit-
crate the tell-tale tracks of time,
and preserve the natural adorn-
ments of youth to ripe old age.
Halls Hair Remover does all this,
and its praise resounds in cottage
and palace. The jewellers among
the SHOWS of Norway and the peas
ants of sunny France and Spain,
find use for it, and find means to
get it, and it does not disappoint
them. The whitening locks again
resume their youthful color, the
thin dry, and faded hair becomes
bright and glossy. The whole ap-
pearance is changed as if by mag
ic, and the man or woman, who,
before was called aged, now APP
pears as one In the prime of life.
Such wondrous changes cannot
pass unnoticed. land they have pro-
duced the unprecedented demand
that now exsist for the first and
only article ever compounded that
can produce them in pleasing
and satisfactory manner. -Neas
Era, Woodstock, I'LL.
