The lbDpuIar Judgment,

II has been justly remarked that the
popular judgement, deliberately made
up, ia correct and reliable. 1t stamps
with its own peculiar seal whatever it
approves. The reputation which sur
wives its searching and critical tests Ia
established on firm foundation. The
really merit0riOns article finds favor at
first, but slowly and with many rebuils ;
its Inherent virtue continually asserts
itself; it's elasticity rebounds higher with
every check, until 1t reaches the height
of favor to which it Ia entitled. Burnett's
Cocoaine for the hair and Burnett q
Standard Flavoring Extracts for cooking
purposes are articles In point. They
have been before the public many years ;
one by one they acquired friends, then
they counted their hundreds; then their
thousands. Success created rivals; com
petition assailed them, but their sterling
merits withstood all opposition, and the
popular verdict was largely rendered IN
their favor. These, together with Bur
natt's other Toilet Articles, are now
"bousehold Words" aud in household
use throughout the States and In many
foreign countries. They are Of sucl
admirable make as to combine substance
with eleganCe-the supply Of genuin'
want with an appeal TO the imagination
in the poetry OF their composition. Ant
for these reasons Burnett's Preparation
will enjoy an ever-increasing sale, AM
an ever frightening reputation.
