HALLS
Vegetable Sicilian
HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first sue
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal-
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire Jalflnaent Of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for a. short time of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward new and vigorous
growth The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara-
tions, but remain long time, which makes
its use matter of economy.

as prevailing at Chicago, and the
throngs around the telegraph offices

even the humblest citizen regarding
the nomination of Blaine as his own
personal triumph. When the news
reached here of the enthusiasm dis
played over Blaine's name in Chicago
II was taken up and fully duplicated by
the anxious thousands who pressed
around the bulletins. Mr.. Blaine has
remained indoors all day receiving a
few friends and doing all in his power
to prevent the public demonstrations
which are being carried on. He eX-
pressed much surprise on finding that

SPECULATION as to the outcome OF
the Chicago convention Is simply
speculation. Blaine Is the strongest
candidate now, as he was in 1876 aud
in 1850, but his very strength seems
fatal, as It compels the combination of
all opposing candidates to resist him.
Whether he can overcome this COM
bination, or whether he can catch
enough stragglers when the break
comes to give him the coveted All
votes, it is idle to inquire, for inquiry
can elicit only opinion, which reflects
the views of individuals. The inev-
table dark horse" it seems, is the
solution of the question.
