This is a copy of a Correct Likeaess, taken from life, of Mr. George McIndue, of Middletown, Conn.,, after using Kallocrine. He perfectly bald, had used various preparations that were highly puffed and advertised happening in one day at the drug store of his fellow townsman, Mir. 0. A. Felton, he told him of his loss and experience The latter said he had preparation that would bring back his hair If 1t possible to do so, the had not been destroyed and there still the least life in the roots of the hair
 MT. McIndue took home bottle of "Kallocrine" used faithfully and in short time hair began to appear. He purchased a supply or "Kalocrine" and the result is shown in this picture.
 He would not be without it for twice its cost Since he has regained his hair it keeps his head free from da andruff, keeps his hair soft B nd glossy and keeps his head and brain clean and clear. He will reply to any inquiries addressed to him.
 The proprietor has been druggist all his life and knows how injurious nearly all the preparations for the hair that flood the market are, some even pro ducing diseases of the brain after continued use-
 He takes great pride in gusrante cling that "Kallo- crine contains nothing but what is positively bene- ficial to both head and hair; made from the very incest in GreGlients, it is a luxury. Sold by drugg sts at 50c 6 bottle. There is noth- ing else as good Do not take anything in its place.

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
OF the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the oniy sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head.
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BROWNS lRoN BlrrERs willthor-
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
Ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part OF the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-.
lively not injurious.

History OF GunpOWder.

A writer in the North Chine Herald
on the history of gunpowder in China,
asserts that this explosive was known
in the seventh century of our era. The
alchemists of the Han dynasty, and sub
sequently in the fourth and following
centuries, worked with saltpetcr and
sulphur, as well as cinnabar, red oxide
of lead and other common compounds.
But in the seventh century we find gun.
powder used to make cracking sound,
and to afford an agreeable sight to the
court of Sui Yang-ti, the Emperor OF
that time. The earliest exhibition Of
fireworks mentioned in Chinese history
belong to that date. The substances
used in the composition of gunpowder
are all native to China, and the writer
appears to prove conclusively that the
Arabs derived the art of fire-work-mak-
ing, as well as gunpowder, from the
Chinese. The discovery once made,
the Chinese alchemists, owing to tho
badness of their hypothesis and the
futility of their aims, were slow at
Improvement. But the doctors of
the Arab colonies in China carried
to Bagdad the germs of the Chi.
nese discoveries, and there they
In short, in many arts and
sciences the Arabs learned from China:
and, assisted by HISTORIANS, Jews ana
Greeks, improved on what they learned,
In course of years. cannon, lock-
and shells for use in sieges were brought
to China from Mohammedan. countries.
There are faint traces in the eleventh
century of rude fire arms; in the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries the records of
their use in the Chinese wars become
frequent and distinct. The Golden
in the twelfth century used cannon,
which they called demonstrating
thunder In an iron tube was placed
powder, which was ''set fire to, and
would burn down half square Ii of
houses and pierce coat of mail made
of iron rings 1t is expressly stated
that Genghis Khan, the Mongol. con-
queror, used cannon in his wars. Kublai
Khan also used these weapons at a siege
celebrated in Chinese history-that of
Siang-yang. Hearing, it is said, the
sound of the explosion, which shook the
sky, and seeing that the balls entered
seven feet into the earth, the Chinese
defenders of the city capitulated. 1t is
clear that China owed its knowledge of
artillery to the Mohammedans. In the
fourteenth century commenced the
European intercourse with China, which
then abandoned the Arabs, and took the
Portuguese as teachers in the construc-
ton of weapons of warfare.
