failure is still q topic of much discussion, and
many conflicting rumors are in circulation. The
firm is preparing a detailed statement of assets
and liabilities, which will not be ready for sew
eral days. The firm claims not to
have guaranteed loans made by them,
but has come Into POSSESSION of large
blocks of real estate which, under
long continued business depression, now rate
much lower than their real value, so that, while
the real estate was ample security when the
obligation was made, it is now insufficient, if
forced on the market. The business public here
agree that the firm did a safe business, taking
no extraordinary risks, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that if matters be so arranged as to
avoid forced sales of the firms holdings. the
assets will be ample TO cover all liabilities. They
controlled one of the principal lines of street
railway in this city, and a large cotton-mill at
South Toledo.

Messrs. A. KiefeF s. Co.:
Gentlemen-A year or two since I began to lose my
hair. A prescription by a barber temporarily checked
it, but after a brief time ii again began to come out by
handfuls. and a prescription by a physician again
checked it.
During last winter and spring IL again became dry
andharsh, and finally left the top of my head bare.
Ny attention was called to your Kozothium. l was
afraid to use it, dreading sulphur, lead or nitrate of
silver. But matters were growing worse daily, and the
fly season was close at hand, so l procured a bottle of
Kozothiurn. The result is an excellent crop of hair,
and, strange to say, of its original color. soft and pill
able, a clean scalp and no irritation, and this on the head
of a man over fifty. have no hesitation in saying it
is the best hair ~restoror extant, and from trial l do
not believe there is a particle of anything dangerous
in it. Yours truly, REV. b. MILLS.

Messrs. A. Kiefer g. Co., Indianapolis:
Gentlemen-Having but little faith in hair restora-
tives, L was, after much hesitation and with great re-
luotance, induced to try a bottle of Lyons
Kozothium. My hair was gray, coarse and
harsh, and so brittle that for years, when
ever eombed or brushed it would break of. Upon
using the Kozothium a speedy and desirable change
took place. My hair became live and ~lustrous, re-
gained its natural color, ceased to break off, and is now
as soft, elastic and glossy as any one need desire. As
a hair dressing I now find it indispensable, and indorse
it heartily for all purposes for which it is recon-
mended. MRS. FANNIE b. WALMsLEY.

a new growth of hair stimulated in its stead, but the
scales were removed from the scalp, which is no longer

that Lyons Kozothium is a true r~estorer Of health and
