NATURE SPARES
The STRICKEN Rose FROM Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
Il Is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief 20 discover, in the height OF its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritab.e
store-house of pleasing rewards, fol-
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives OF thousand )
OF young women. but thanks TO the in
vestigations Of scientists the true cau-o
OF hair destruction Is now known to be
