AYERS
Hair Vigor

restores. with the gloss and freshness of youth,
faded or gray hair 10 natural, rich brown color,
or deep black, as may be desird. By its use light
or red hair NAV be darkened, thin hair thickened,
and badness often, though not always. cured.
Il checks falling OF the hair, and stimulates
weak and siekly growth TO vigor. Itprevents and
cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every
disease peculiar TO the scalp. As a Ladies' Hair
Dressing, the VIGoR is uneQualled; il contains
neither oil dye, renders the hair soft, glossy,
and silken in appearance, and impaTts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. c. P. BRIcHER writes from Kir6y, o., July
5. 1882 i" Last fall my hair commenced falling
out, and in a short time became nearly bald
used part of a bottle of AYERS HAIR EIGOR,
which stopped the falling of the hair and started
q new growth. have now a full head of hair
gEowing vigorously, and am convinced that but
ror tie use of your preparation should have been
entirely bald.''
j. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the Mc1zrthur Ohio
enquirer SAYS AYERS HAIR VIGoR is a most
excellent preparation for the hair. Ispeak of it
from my own experience. It's use promotes the
growth of new hair, and makes il glossy and soft.
The VIGOR is also a sure cure for dandrun. Not
sithin my knowledge has the preparation ever
Esiled TO give entire satisfaction
Mr.. Angus FAIRBAIRS, leader Of the cele-
brated =" Fairbairn Family - of Scottish Vocslists
writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. s, 1890: Ever
since my hair began TO give slvery evidence of the
change which heeting time procureth, i have used
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, and so have been able to
maintain an appearance of youthfulness mat
ter of considerable consequence to ministers,
orators actors, and in fact every one who lives in
the eyes of the public
MRS. 0. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 1s Elm ST.,
CharlestOcH, Mass, april II, 1852, SAYS Two
years ago about two-thirds of my hair came on.
1t thinned very rapidly, and was fast growing
bald. On using AYERS HAIR VIGoR the falling
stopped and a new growth commenced, and in
about month my head was completely covered
with short hair. 1t has continued to grow, and 10
now good as before it fell. Regularly used but
one bottle of the YIGoR, but now use it occasion
ally as dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials to tho
efficacy of AYERS HAIR vIGoR. It needs but
trial to convince the most skeptical Of its value

laid aside the judicial robes, as his term OF
service expired that dav.
A petition for his disappointment has been
generally Signcd 10y the members OF the Tar

leading citizens, ard we believe that nine
tceu-twcnticths Of the people would gladly
LIte in a king for lis disappointment il It
were deemed necessary.
knowing Gov. Iowry's Willingness 10 con
! suit the wahc, and to consider the welfare
of the people. and knowing that it is the de
sire OF the people of the lO;h district, and
almost unanimously of the bar. 10 have
Judge Chris man rcturuCd to the bench which
he has so honorcd, we have not permitted
ourset 70 doubt nj, re-appOintment, and
we have not hestatrd to say so to the people
a lawyer of high rank and christai. gen
| tleman, he has adorned his official station
and, while presiding with dignity and decid-
| ing with tirmness. he fas been free from
| austerlty, and is the same pleasant, affabe
gentleman on the bench that he is in all the
walks Of life.
Judge Chrisman's oflicil career in our
county has been the theme of comment and
of praise. He has maze our people under
stand that the court is the arena Of the law,
and that promptness as jnrors and as wit
nesses, is essential to the proper, wholesome
and prompt administration of Justice. AS
We have said before, he has disciplined our
| people to all the duties that citizenship owes
/ to law and to the authority OF the court
| They are on time without b. ing called, ana
each one knows-when he is wanted and he
! is on the spot.
| A lcadiuS lawyer SAID to us that Judge
Chrsmanhad rcyo'utiouized the manner OF
/ proce, dure at the bar, and now there is 10
dilatory proceed nss-no procrastination,
but every lawyer is ready when his case is
/ called; the jury is ready, and litigants and
witnesses are ready. Lawyers, jurors ant
witnes scs are not on tue street, nut always
| in conrt, and as one regular Juror files out
another flies mall methodically and orderly
| no noise; no confusion.
| We have not heard a name called from the
balcony OF the Court house since Judge
Chris man has resided. A lawyer from
another county said to us that we had the
best set of officers he ever saw, in any Court
house, and the most courteous.
We attribute, and so do our people, this
great Improvement TO Judge Chrisman. The
bar the officers of the court, and the people
are all improved. We have a courtly court,
and the lawyers are even more gentlemanly
gentlemen TO one another The whole county
has been benefited, and we are a law abiding,
order-lOying people.
To have accomplished such reforms, and
yet retain the love and confidence of the peo-
pie, of the court officers anu the bar, goes to
show that Judge Chrism IN has been the
right man in the right place.
The Chief Magistrate of the State, himself
laH,er Of eminence, is familiar with all
that we have said and, and relying on the
goodness OF his purposes and the elearness
of his Judgment, we do not doubt the reap
roi tment OF Judge Chrismau.
