Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before justice of the peace."--
II. Hulsebus, Lewlsburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack Of
brain fever, my hair all came out. used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. / then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy / applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in a few weeks. 1 think
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as arestoIatiye, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

wrong in the unsigned notes mat
ter, we believe him guilty of a
grave wrong. On the evening Of
the occurrence Dobyns was at my
house in company with me and
my wife, and I went home with
Dobyns to do some painting for
him. After arriving at his house !
went to work and Dobyns returned
to my house and made knownto my
wife in my absence, the confidential
note matter, which could be moth
ing short of a gross insult to any
lady. Why did he not speak o.
the meter while We were all al
my house togeth,r7 / will leave
the public to judge. And, as po'
lice officer, would it not have beer
much more prudent in him to, in
stead Of carrying the note or notei
two or three weeks, to come to NJ
at once and make the proper in
quiry, so that he ceuld be called I
protector instead of q disturber.
So here the public may again b.
the judge. G. W. HAPE.
