Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity Of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that 1t cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth Of the hair, prevents 1t from
falling out, and gives 1t that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
a gentleman fifty years Of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use OF Ayers Hair Vigor. at
stopped the falling out" he writes ;
'and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to the same shade of broom Il
had when was 25 years Of age"

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, Of Boston,
writes: "For years, was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
I gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and am delighted. look ten
years younger"
A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
Fl. 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,
q course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
VigOr, may be necessary to give health
and 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
persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

WHY WE DISCRIMINATE,

Editor AMERICAN CITIZEN, SIR
l noticed in your issue two weeks
ago, an article relating to Negro bar
bers of which l would like to briefly
speak as | am a member of that fra
ternity. You say We cannot blame
white men for refusing to serve col
ored people on account of their color
for the simple reason, as you say, Ne
gro BARRIERS refuse to shave men of
their own race upon the same grounds,
which l deny. In as much as it is
true that colored BARRIERS do not en-
courage the trade of their brethren,
it is also true that they do not refuse
to shave them on account of their
color. There are other reasons why
they are refused, if refused at all.
Their appearance has good deal to
do with it. There are cvlored men
who shave in some if not all of our
best shops owned by colored men in
Topeka.
Now l have given one reason why
eolored men are refused. But there
is still another reason; viz, that i
We did not discriminate and were t.
give them the same rights as to al
others, our business would fail fo
want of order. We would be com
PEELED to employ man to keep or
der, and to keep them from loafng
sleeping, chewing, and splitting to
bacso on the floor. Such is the con
dition of affairs in all public place
where colored people have tree access
