first found my hair growing but there
1t is, and I am delighted. look ten

A similar result attended the use Of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestowng Mass, Miss Bessie
III. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
a course OF Ayers Sarsapariila or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
NigOr, may be necessary TO give health
aud tone to all the functions of the
body. AT the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
perseyering trial and strict attention
TO cleanly and temperate habits.

Said an observer of holiday goods yesterday
has dazzling display of silver in his store
which cannot be beaten" And all who en-
ter his place of business can but say the
same. One can pass hours away in looking
at the articles now on exhibition and then
feel at loss which to purchase. One party
entered his store yesterday to purchase a
napkin ring, but ca ne out with a silver but
ter dish, silver water pitcher, silver cake
basket and the napkin ring, all of which
were marked down so low, the purchas r
thought it would be his loss if he should let
the opportunity pass. He has also an excel
lent display of watches, clocks and jewely
which he sells at ruinously low prices The
most of his goods are in solid silver, but he
has tine plated goods, also. Watches and
clocks cleaned and repaired at shor, notice.
Mr.. Wight is plea'ed to show his goods
whether one is DESTROYS of purchasing or not,
and feels confident that his goods will bear
the most careful inspection.
