a mierobe which also produces badness.
Never use a comb or brush belonging to some
ore else. No matter how cleanl y the owner
msy be, these articles may be infested with
microbes. which will infest your scalp. Ii is
far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to
get rid of them, and single stroke OF sn iE-
fected comb or brush often produce the car Q
of bsldues'. Never try on auybody's else hat
for the reason that many hat band is nest
ing place for microbes.
If yeu happen 10 be troubled with dandrutf,

this thatwe offer it toyou With the understand
ing that it will cost you nothing for the trial

lates the hair follicles, removes dandruh,
destroys the germ mat r, aud brings about 3
fee. healthy circulation of blood which
noUrishes the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We want every
body in Alexandria who has any tronble with
hair or scalp TO know that Rexsll '93" Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in
existence, and no one should SCOT at or doubt
this statement until they have put our claims

dist minister of Adsir, Mich, who on
Wednesday night was thought to be
the victim whose dismembered and

number OF Canadian oities 10 the hope
thst stranger who crossed the st. Ola r
river yesterday from 81. Clair, Mich, to
Oour.fighf, Ont, may prove to be the
missing clergyman, and may be located
and returned to NJ chigan to clear up toe
"Rat.le Ruo," church mystery.

Browning, of Adair, as the victim who
lost bis life in the desperate hand

sanctuary. The murder probably &C.
