The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1886-10-28

The unprecedented sale OF Boschee'8
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and elfectu-
al cure OF Coughs, Colds and the Sc
verest Lung troubles. 1t acts OH an
entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by Physi-
clans, as ii does not dry up Cough
and leaves the disease still in the sys-
tenn, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors
bills and long spell of serious illness.
A trial will convince you of these facts.
1t is positively sold by all druggists
and general dealers in the land.
Price,.75 cts, large bottles.

4 rev Favored styles o. Drssssns sAs
Hair.


The catogan style Of dressing the
hair Il still considered very becoming
to young ladies for evening wear, yet
there arc many other pretty simple
ways Of arranging full heads Of hair.
One very favored style is TO wave and
comb the locks up to the top Of the
head and twist them into . cornet-
shaped roll. which Is brought forward
in front to the center Of the head, form
ing circle. and this gives founda-
ton for afeather, demi-wrcath of flow
ers. rosctte, etc. When the fashion Of
cutting the hair short was adopted.
evening coiffures were almost aban-
doncd- asionally pearls were twist
ed in. Now that young ladies are a.
ready rcpenting Of this piece Of folly
they find il very difficult to choose .
tidy and becoming style Of hair-dress
ing. When the hair Is pretty long IL
is not difficult to arrange in loops and
rolls, which may be made to lie in all
directions, and fastened with fancy
pins. rs these are very fashionab for
evening wear. Young married ladies
dress their hair fuller round the tenn
pies lately, and put a pretty large touge
under. or frizz the hair underneath. --
