Con. JAMES WEsTcHEsTER Hustled will
have time to read these valuable directions
after next Tuesday:
1T 10 recommended for the prevention Of badness
that the hair be kept pretty closely cropped and that
the head be batheI frequently in salt water and
fabricated occasionally with very small quantity OF

We should advise Gen. Hustled to advise
Mr.. FAssErT to bathe his head ut least three
times this week. Not for badness. but to
reduce the swelling.
