More Hair for Men,

Bowdtch, Webster & Co. Have the
Secret and Give 1t to the Readers
of the journal.

To properly treat the hair so that 1t
will grow abundantly and luxuriantly,
one should first Danish dandruff and
stop falling hair and itching scalp.
This can easily be done with Partisan
Sage, sold by Bowditch, Webster &
Co, with an absolute guarantee to
cure dandruff, to stop all falling hair
and itching scalp, or money back.
1t cures dandruff by killing the
germs and it kills them so promptly
that the most skeptical give it praise.
But Partisan Sage is more than a
cure for dandruff-it will make hair
grow on any head where the hair
bulb is not altogether dead.
And we want every reader of the
Journal to know that Partisan Sage
is the most delightful hair dressing in
the world. 1t is so pleasant to use,
and its effect is so invigorating that
i. causes the hair to become lustrous
fascinating and full of life.

the animal seen was a seal as he had
on different occasions seen the animals
swimming in the river close up to the
Kennebec dam, and that sometimes
three or four of them would be seen
together. The seal is a great lover of
fish and it may be that they make
their way up river to this point 10 feed

Physicians and chemists for years hava
studied the problem of making flesh
forming food but ii is only within the
last few months that a bright man dis
covered the prescription that taken with
the daily meals give positive increase
in flesh. In fact it was so certain in its
action that a guarantee was attached to
each package stating that if weight did
not increase as q result of using it, the
purchase price would be refunded.
This preparation is now put up in con-
Venient form for use under the name of
Samose.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. secured the
agency in Augusta for Samose and as
the percentage of satisfactory results
from the use of this prescription is so
nearly one hundred per cent. they feel
there is no risk in offering to refund the
