Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. am ready to certify to tht

"Some years ago, after severe attack OK
brain fever, my hair all came out. used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce
growth of hair. l then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing tile
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair in few weeks. I think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair

Centenarians in Virginia.

Our -Scottsville correspondent has
made O vigorous search among the old
people of Albemarle, Buckingham, and
Fluyanna counties, but has not yet been
able to find well-verifed centenarian.
We doubt if, as he says, L" it Is fact
that can be substantiated that longevity
predominates among the colored race. "
The contrary opinion prevails with
MANY. In Richmond, and in all other
cities of which we know where mortuary
statistics are kept, it appears that the
deaths among negroes and mulattoes is
far greater than among the whites.
They are the weaker, not the stronger
race.
The fact that alleged centenarians are
generally found among negroes or very
ignorant whites ut once suggests
doubt whether the persons In question
know their own ages.
This is certaip-we have been hunting
Virginia for years to find man OF
woman who is unquestionably one hun
dred years old,
Possibly Virginia has such an inhabi
tant? If so, where ?
Some time ago we were told that lad!
here in Richmond was one hundred o
nearly one hundred years old, but al
octogenarian who visited her and criti
cally questioned her as to her age re
ported to us that she was four day
younger than himself.
The DISPATCH would like to print tn
picture and biography of the first cente
marian, man or woman, white or colored
who can be found in this State.
