WOMEN'S BEAUTY.
1t Can Never Be Perfect Without
Luxuriant Hair.

A head of luxuriant hair is sure to be
attractive. But nature has not crown
ed every woman with glorious hair.
Some very lovable women she has
treated rather scantily in this respect.
For instance, there are tens of thou
sands of women in America, today,
who have harsh, faded and lusterless
hair, who are unattractive simply be-
cause they DO not know that nowadays
even the whims of nature can be over
ruled by the genius of science.
If you are a woman without beauti-
full hair, do not permit your attractions
tc be hidden because of this slight mis-
fortune.
Go today to Bowditch, Webster &
Sage Cor so cents, use it each night, and
you will notice the harsh, repulsive
hair disappear, and in it's place will
come soft, silky, bright and luxuriant
hair.
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by Bow
ditch, Webster 6, Co., to cure dan
druff, itching of the scalp and stop
falling hair in two weeks, or money
back.

and were relieved of ills caused by cof-

fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden, but
relief increased as we continued to

MANY of our. friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
