Munyon's Witch Hazel Soap is truly q blessing to those who are losing their hair and becoming bald. This soap is food and vitalizer; it stimulates and acts as q gentle tonic to the weak and sick roots, and gives them new life and vigor. It promptly removes dandruff, scales, humors and all sores of the scalp. Give this soap a far trial, and if there is particle of life in the roots, this soap will stimulate and invigorate them into new life and healthy growth. Of fcourse, you know that Munyon's Witch Hazel Soap for the complexion ard for the toilet is superior to any high-priced French soap made. It makes the skin soft as velvet and keeps one free from pimples, blotches and most skin eruptions.
 If your blood is out of order, take Mum yon's Blood Cure. It will drive all im- purities from the system and make good, rich, red blood.
 If your liver is sluggish and you have a sallow complexion. use Munyon's Liver Cure. These two remedies, taken in al- ternation, will soon rid the blood and system of all impurities, and give life and vgor to the whole body, and when used in conjunction with the soap, makes the skin glow with youthful freshness.

4 Remarkable Snake Story.

a true snake story has inst come to
our personal knowledge, the facts OF
which rival the widest fancy of the
snake hunting liar. Last SATURDAY
l evening when SPECTATOR reporter
angnted from the train at Augusta
springs, there was spread at length
| upon the steps Of the station the skins
OF many rattle snakes, the remnant of
snake slaughter that had just taken
place IN the mountains nearby that
might be termed a massacre. There
were the carcasses of thirty-nine
snakes OF the most deadly poisonous
varieties, Is Of them rattle snakes and
II copperheads. That morning noun
tafneer named William Fridley. his
son Alex. and members of the family
were on Little North Mountain gath
erlng Whortleberries, when among the
rock Lodges was discovered q number
OF snakes. The two men with sticks
attacked the reptiles vigorously. but
the more they killed the more the
snakes seemed to multiply around
them. When the fight was over the
ground was strewn with the carcasses
OF ~ snakes. How many escaped the
murderouS clubs of the Fridley's is not
known, but true it is that 80 of them
bit the dust, for the hunters, knowing
the ineredulity of their fellow crafts
men, bagged the whole lot and brought
Them home to prove the truth of their
assertions. And twas as we'll they did.
FOR without ocular convincing there
are few who would haye accepted their
wonderful story.
