The enclosed clipping from the New York

The text of the clipping is as follows
Her sight dimmed by a gr wing cataract,
Mrs, Ann Fee, 7S wears old, still maintains a
faint hope of seeing her son again before blind
ness darkens the world for her. He was lost 25
years ago and the probabilities are that he was
slain by Indians. The mother who lives at No.
Ala Decatur street, Brooklyn, will not believe
that he is dead and she placed the following adj
yertsement in the Personal" column of the
Herald yesterday:
Information wanted of the wherea-
bouts of Peter Fee, formerly of New
York City; last heard of in New Mexico
gold mines. Any person who can give
any information will kindly send word to

Enjoy Using HeFpicide on Account of

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpiclde speak Of it in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing It
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff, as 1t destroys the germ that
causes It. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing 1t,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress

the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
