Session, and then adjourned.
House.
The House met at I*2 o’clock. The Journal
of yesterday having been read
Mr. Baker, of Ilinois, submitted the follow
ing resolution, which he was satisfied would
meet with unanimous consent of the House.
The proposition was then reud, resolving
that the Rev. Theobald Matthew be invited to
take a seal within the bar of the House.
The proposition was passed in the affimative
unanimously.
The. Reverend Gentleman was then conduc
ted within the bar by Mr. Campbell, the Clerk.
Mr. Andrew Johnson submitted the follow
ing resolution.
Resolved, That the Ministers of the Gospel
belonging to the different denominations, be
and they are hereby invited to attend and
open the proceedings of the House while in a
disorganized state, with sincere prayer to the
giver of all good, for a speedy and satisfactory
organization, and a dispatch of the public bu
siness.
Mr. Kaufman moved to amend the resolu
tion as follows: “And that the Rev. Father
Mathew favor us with the first prayer.
Mr. Meade moved to lay the resolution on
the table. He did not think that they deserved
the prayer of anv body.
Mr. Wilmot thought it better to lay the whole
subject on the table. He did not believe that
they could organize with prayer.
Mr, Vinton thought tney could organize
without the assistance of the Clergy.
Mr Cobb, of Alabama, suggested that the
resolution be so amended that the reverend gen
tlemen be requested to pray continually for
them.
The question was then taken, and the reso
ution laid on the table.
Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced a pro
position to rescind the resolution passed the
other day interdictiug debate, and providing
that debate shall be in order. The proposition
was laid on the table.
After the fifty-sixth vote, Mr. McMullen in
troduced a proposition providing that the dele
gates from each Slate, respectively, shall
select one member from their midst, to
constitute a committee, who shall have power
to consult and devise a plan for the organiza
tion of the House.
Mr. Vinton inquired of the gentleman from
Virginia whether he knew what party would
have a majority under the resolution.
Mr. McMullen said he had not counted noses.
Mr. Vinton.—lt was proper that you should
have done so before introducing the resolu
tion. 1
Mr. Levin was satisfied that all such propo
sitions only protracted the contest for an or- '
ganization.
Mr. Stanton, ofTenn., thought they could '
get along just as well by discussing these ques- '
turns, as voting there from day to day without
al, y result - It would be better to talk a little.
Mr. Inge had no objection to talking, if the
rule adopted the other day was rescinded. He
insisted upon its application while it was in *
existence. 1
On motion of Mr. Thompson, of Ky. f the *
whole matter was laid on the table. *
Mr. Bowdon, of Alabama, moved a recission '
of the resolution interdicting debate.
On motion of Mr. Thompson, or Penna. !
the proposition was laid on the table on a count
—ayes J 27, noes not counted. I
The House then again proceeded to vote the
fifty-seventh time, without important results.
After the 58th vote, Mr. Woodward, of
South Carolina, introduced the same propo- 1
sition which he submitted a few days ago, pro
viding that the Hon. Lynn Boyd, the senior 1
member of the House, be appointed Speaker 1
pro. tem., without power to appoint com- i
mittees or to do any other legislative act, such >
as pertains to the office of regular Speaker— I
and that the House then proceed to the election
of a Speaker and other officers. Laid on the *
table —yeas 116, nays 103 '
The House then, at 3 o’clock, adjourned. I

New Counterfeit Coin. —The New Orleans 1
Picayune states that $337.50 in counterfeit <
quarter eagles were found recently on a trader t
in that city, who, however, cleared himself by
proving that he had received them in good
faith. They were sent to the Branch Mint and
found to be made of the kind of brass called
Prince Rupert’s metal—a bright colored alloy 1
consisting of two parts of zinc to one of cop

THE LATEST NEWS.
By Express and Telegraph.
London, Saturday, Dec, 1. 1849.
Paris, Friday.—The French government has
sent orders to Rome to send home that portion
of the expeditionary army for which it has
been impossible to find barracks, and who are
ill-lodged. The Estreats mentions a report,
that the President of the Republic will grant a
general amnesty to all the political offenders on
the 10th of December.
Letters from Lyons of the 27th inst., state
that the overflowing of the Rhine has caused
much damage in that city. The houess, quays,
and adjoing street are completely flooded, and
the inhabitants obliged to move with their pro
perty.
The report that the President had signified
his intention to stand a second time for the
Presidency is contradicted.
Bank of France. —Returns show improve
ment in discount bills of 2J million francs—
-2,000,000 more of notes issued, while specie
not increased. Paris Bourse—Fives, 86.65;
Threes, 56.90.
Vienna, 24fA. —Levying of troops in the
Crown Lands proceeds with rapidity, and the
contingent is almost formed.
Prussia. —Government has informed Den
mark that corespondence must be entered into
with the Government of Holstein, or the Prus
sian troops will be withdrawn and negotiations
for peace on the part of Prussia broken off,
leaving Denmark to settle the matter herself.
London.— A Cabinet Council was held at
the Foreign Office yesterday—sat one hour
and-a-half.
A Committee of Naval Officers has been
appointed by the Admiralty to consider the
most advisable means for ascertaining the fate
of Sir Jonn Franklin.
It is expected the report of the officers ap
pointed will be made early on Monday.
From Texas. — By the arrival here this mor
ning of the steamship Palmetto, Capt. Smith,
from Galveston the 13th inst., we have receiv
ed files of the Civilian and the News to the
date of her departure, with other papers from
the interior of the State.
Texas, it seems, is determined to assert and
maintain her rghttolhe possession of Santa
Fe. A resolution has been introduced into
the Legislature instructing the representatives
of the State in Congress to protest against
Hugh Smith, or any other delegate from that
part of New Mexico taking a seat therein as a
representative from that Territory, and in the
event of the protest’s not being heeded, it will
be their duty to leave Wash'ngton and return
home. Another resolution followed, author
izing the Governor to raise a regiment of
mounted men, to proceed to Santa Fe and
assist in organizing the Eleventh Judicial Dis
trict, of which that city is the principal seat.
One hundred thousand dollars are to be voted
for expenses. The troops are to avoid coming
in collision with the United States forces. It is
probable that the resolutions will be adopted,
as we learn.
As regards legislation, the Civilian says:
A general disposition appears among the
members to await the installation of the Gover
nor before many of the leading questions are
disposed of. This, we blieve, is the case in
regard to the public debt, the Santa Fe ques
tion and some others. There is, as usual,
some discussion in relation to the tax laws, but
the result is uncertain, as there are as many
conflicting views to harmonise as ever.
The Legislature will confirm the proposed
amendment to the coustitu lion, without regard
to the informality which attended its passage
through that body at’he last session. In con
sequence, all officers, the election of whom, by
the proposed change, is referred to the people,
will hold over until the next annual popular
election, when their successors will be chosen
A new law, levying a lax of one dollar on all
passengers coming to Texas, from ports with
out the limits of the State, and framed so as to
meet the constitutional objections against the
old one, will be enacted, a bill to that effect
having already been introduced, and no oppo
sition appearing.
Further time will doubtless be allowed to
those having claims against the State to file
the same for allowance and settlement. —Pic

Awful Tragedy. — A rumor of an awful
tragedy, near Xenia, reached us this morning.
It is said that a Mr. Armour, a farmer, residing
within a few miles of Xenia, was known to
have in his possession some two or three thou
sand dollars. Two individuals, on one day
last week, arrived in the cars from Cincinnati
and immediately proceed to Armour’s for the
ostensible purpose of purchasing his premises
They induced him to accompany them through
and around the farm, and arriving at a strip of
woods, he was brutally murdered by the as
sassins, who immediately started for the house.
Mrs. Armour, the wife, seeing the strangers
returning without her husband, became alarm
ed and instantly conjectured their designs.—
She secured the treasure of her husband and
locked herself in an adjacent room. The two
individuals entered and searched the house,
but being unable to find what they desired dis
covered the infant sleeping in the bed ; which
they concluded had been abandoned by its
mother through fright. They, thereupon,
threw it in the fire, with the hope that its cries
would attract the attention of the mother, from
whom they might extort a confession as to the
deposit of the money. Mrs. Armour, strange
to say, managed to resist the impulses of a
sympathizing mother, and retained the place of
her concealment The robbers at length
abandoned the search as hopeless—and took
the return train to Cincinnati. We are pleas
ed to add that the perpetrators were captured,
and safely lodged in the Cincinnati jail to
await their trial.— Chil. ( O.) Gaz., Ist.
Progress of Crime. —The lovers of hor
rors, the epicures who delight to tickle their
worn out appetites for the marvellous and the
wicked by thrilling narrations of blood and
crime, can make no complaint of the newspa
pers of this age. It is literally true, that in our
daily examination of large numbers of newspa
pers from every quarter of the country, a day
scarcely passes that we do not read the record
of some deed of blood, and sometimes half a
dozen. This regular routine of crime is now
too common to awake a sensation of wonder,
but sometimes, there appears among the ordi
nary outrages a comet-like enormity, like that
of Prof. Webster, filling every mind with hor
ror, sadness and dismay.* The papers of the
day teem with murders, adulteries, rencontres
and assassinations. Crime is nothing new in
the world, but such a freshet of crime, and so
much villainy in quarters where the world
seems to expect better things, indicate that the
“times are sadly out of joint.” —Richmond Re
public.
Bank Robbery.— The Phoenix Bank at
Westerly, R. 1., was entered by burglars on
Sunday night. They broke through the iron
plate of the door of the safe, and through an
inner iron door eighteen inches from the outer
one. Holes were bored through with a two
inch and a quarter bitt, and some instrument
introduced to tear the holes larger. They then
fished out packages of bills with au iron hook.
They succeeded in getting between $16,000
and $17,000, and escaped without detection.
The Directors offered a reward of SIOOO for
the detection of the robbers and recovery of
the money. We understand that the bills
were chiefly of a small denomination, and all, !
or nearly all, bills of the Phoenix Bank (Wes- I
terly.)

We are requested to state for the information
of the public, that the Telegraph Office will

W. J. Brown. —The Richmond Republican
says: “The election of this man Speaker of
the House was to be a special blow at Gen.
Taylor; it was to be the gratification of asweet
revenge; a “bitter pill,” a poisoned stiletto
which was to sink deep in the old hero's heart
and avenge at once all the wrongs of Democra
cy.
“ But how has the-serpent’s head been crush
ed ! The dagger of revenge has broken in the
hands of those who wielded It, and has cut and
poisoned no one but themselves. Brown,
themselves being the judges, has proved him
self too vile even for the vilest purposes of
party. And it was for turning this man, this
acknowledged political leper, out of office—this
man from whom his own party shrinks as from
contamination—that Gen. Taylor has been de
nounced with a bitterness unprecedented in
party warfare. It was for this that Gen. Tay
lor was to be mortified and punished I
“They mistook the man when they expect
ed to annoy Old Zack by the election of Brown,
or any other political foe, of a good or bad
character. Amid all this excitement, the
equanimity of the old hero seems as undisturb
ed as on the bloody battle field of Buena Vista,
where he was the target of harder missiles than
scurrilous words. He puts forth no hand, he
utters no word ofcomplaint against any of the
schemes of his adversaries, leaving it to their
own mouths and their own hands to pronounce
and execute judgment against themselves.”
Brewer’s Panorama.
This much admired Exhibition still attracts
admiring crowds. And most cheerfully do vve
give our testimony of its high merit, as a truth
ful representation of some of the greatest natu
ral curiosities of our country. To speak in
terms of praise, is useless, for its reputation in
the United Slates is already established. As
this evening is probably the last opportunity
our citizens may have of viewing this painting,
we would merely say, don’t miss seeing it.
Theobald Mathew. —The National Intel
ligencer announces the arrival of this distin
guished apostle of temperance, and says; “We
regret to learn that the health of the Reverend
Father is so delicate that it is his purpose to
hasten to the South with all convenient speed,
intending, however, to return North next
Spring or Summer, and afford our citizens
the happiness of a longer visit. He yesterday
paid a visit to the President of the United
States and to some other of our distinguished
citizens, and also to Georgetown College.”
The Republic. —This fine steamer having
been chartered by Messrs. Howland & Aspin
wall, of New York is expected to leave for
that city in the course of a few days, where she
will take her place on the Chagresline. Dur
ing the few weeks that the Republic has been
in port she has undergone extensive alterations,
both in her engine and in her internal arrange
ments, and she is now calculated to accomo
date at least three hundred passengers. She
has been chartered by the above named firm at
$5 000 per month, for one year—the charrter
party to pay all expenses and keep her fully
insured.
State Bank of Tennessee Insolvent. —The
Nashville Whig states that from a recent report
made in the Legislature, by the President of
theStateßankofTennessee.it appears that
this Institution has sustained heavy losses.
The President states that unless the Bank is
relieved by appropriations from the State
Treasury, it must fall.
The United States sloop of war Vandalia,
20 guns, Com. Gardner, arrived at Rio on the
Ist ultimo from Norfolk. The United States
sloop of war St. Louis and John Adams were

Rights of Married Women,— The Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania has decided re
cently that a husband has no claim to the pos
session of any property owned by his wife pre
vious to marriage, or which may accrue to her
after marriage; and that even the consent of
the wife, that her husband should have posses
sion of her property, is of no avail while the
wife is a minor. This decision is based on the
law of 1848, which has wrought a radical
change in the condition of married females.

Our New Steamships. —We are gratified to
learn, on the authority of Capt. Lyon, that the
keel of one of the new steamships to supply the
place of the Cherokee and Tennessee is already
laid, and that the frame timbers are nearlv all
got out. The floor timbers are of white-oak,
the upper timbers oflive-oak, locust and cedar.
The new ship will be just about the size of the
Cherokee, with several modern improvements
and an increased boiler surface.
We are {enabled to add, too, that the keel of
the other or sister steamship of the same di
mensions is now being laid alongside of the a

The Hungarian Exile*.
Some fourteen or fifteen Hungarian patriots,
who arrived at New York on Sunday, in the
steamship Hermann, were received on the j
wharf, by a committee of reception appointed
for the purpose, and conducted to the Astor
House, where they are to remain, the guests
ofthe hospitable and gentlemanly proprietors.
Mad’lle Jagella was conducted to the Irving
House, by Mr. Howard the proprietor, where
she was received with marked demonstrations
of respect by a large assemblage of visitors,
glad of an opportunity of gratifying their curi
osity. and expressing their welcome on the
occasion of the arrival in the land of liberty
of this remarkable heroine. The persona] ap
pearance and dress of Mad’lle Jagella are thus
described in the New York Courier:
Her figure is of the medium size ; her head
and neck are finely formed, her countenance
denoting the sweetest possible expression. Her
bust is full and classically formed. Her pro
portions are likewise full, but of most delicate
and graceful symmetry. Her hair is of light
brown masses of which are parted in six
plain am’ simple folds upon her forehead.
Her mild, are sometimes lit up
with a and piercing expression.
In her is exceedingly amiable,
kindly, modest. She wore a dress
of light blue a tri-color scarf grace
fully thrown across her shoulders. Her orna
ments were few, of the rarest kind and work
manship.
Through the kindness of Mr. Howard we
were enabled to see the Polka coatee worn Ly
this glorious creature, when, for the benefit of
her country, she exposed her life and went as
a scout or spy into the Austrian camp. It is of
white cashmere, thick and strong of texture,
lined with red cloth and braided with cording
of the same color. The sabretache or leathern
pocket, slung over the shoulder by a leather
belt, was likewise shown us.
At two o’clock, the lady appeared in the di
ning saloon, which, on this occasion, was crow
ded with ladies and gentlemen, all of whom ex
hibited the greatest anxiety to pay her the most
marked deference aud attention.
When the dessert was brought in, says the
Courier, Mr. Howard, the proprietor of the
hotel, had prepared a very beautiful figure of
the Hungarian fortress, duly supplied with all
proper furniture and surmounted by the Hun
garian tri-color and the American fla*g. Md’lle
Jagella was represented as trampling on the
Austrian flag. This piece of confectionary was
placed before the lady, and it is said to have af
fected her to tears. She sent for Mr. Howard,
and in the presence of the company, tendered
her warmest thanks for this mark of sympathy
and regard. The incident created quite a
sensation.
The tribune contradicts the report of the en
gagement of Md’lle Jagella to a Hungarian
officer, and says that it was stated by some edi
tor in England, who had been imposed on by
some of the passengers, while the Hermann
was at Southampton. Preliminary steps
have been taken to give the exiles a public re
ception.
It is said the chief participation of Miss Ja
gella—who has nothing masculine in her as
pect —in the war, was as head of one ofthe
military hosp tals, where, with her own hands,
she waited upon the sick and wounded, and had
nursed and taken care of them with a woman’s
tenderness. She only fought when driven by
necessity on the approach ofthe enemy to the
city of Pesth.and then she fired on them from the
window, and on several occasions mounted on
horse back and assisted to drive them from
the place.
Mr. Webster and the Hungarians. — Mr.
Webster being at the Astor House for a short
time, the Hungarian exiles, called upon the
dislingished statesman, in a body, on Monday
evening, at his rooms.
The venerable Ujhazy, late Governor of
Comorn, with all his family suite, was intro
duced to Mr, and Mrs. Webster, by Count
Vass, —another Hungarian exile, —who, in the
course of four months, has learned to express
himself in the English language with perfect
propriety. Ujhazy addressed Mr. Webster
with much feeling, in the following words:
Sir — Strangers and in a strange land, in
the midst of our misfortunes, we come to
Amerca to seek an asylum here. Power can
not stretch its hands so far as to reach us, m
this Western world. Here we are safe, and
we feel ourselves secure.
In one of your late speeches you expressed
a sympathy for us in the midst of our distress
which has penetrated our hearts. We thank
you. We pray you to encourage the same
feelings, to continue in the same sympathy,
and so to mitigate our sorrows.
We look to America for kindness and pro
tection. We look to you, sir, for counsel and
consolation : and that Power which sees all
things, and governs all, will not fail in its re
ward to your generous mind.
Mr. Webster, taking the Governor by the
hand, made the following reply;
I give you my hand wiih great pleasure.
We are glad to see you and your friends. The
effort which you have so gallantly made for
Hungarian Nationality and Hungarian Liberty
has won our hearts. We welcome you to
these Western shores. We are honored that
you have sought an asylum here from the polit
ical misfortunes which you suffered at home.
Our sympathies are with you and for you, and
for those objects of your affections which you
have left behind you. The whole American
people take an interest in your efforts for Lib
erty and Independence. The blow of power
which struck down your hopes fell heavily also
on our own hearts. In the midst of your mis
fortunes, you come far away to the land of
strangers in search of safety. Here you find it.
Here, we assure it to you. No enemy’s hand
shall harm or touch you. Hungarians you are
all welcome. You who have come, and your
friends who shall come, will all find here sym
pathy, protection and security. Sir, your gal
lantry, your love of liberty, and your misfor
tunes, have made you welcome to all Ameri
cans.
Ujhazy, when this speech was interpreted to
him by Count Vass, was affected to tears and
desired the Count to say that God would not
forget such, generous and such considerate
sympathy.
The Council of New York on
Monday passed resolutions of sympathy and
welcome, and tendering their co-operation
with the citizens in aid of the patriot exiles.
At eleven o’clock on Monday a deputation
from the Hungarians residing in New York,
proceeded to the Astor House to wait upon
their newly arrived countrymen. They were
received by Mr. Ujhazy and his suite, who,
after the most cordial greetings had been inter
changed, were addressed in an eloquent and
pertinent manner, by Mr. Charles Helsinger,
in the name of the deputation and the body
which it represented. The speech was listen
ed to with the deepest attention and the most
earnest feeling by the exiles, and after a brief
pause, Mr. Ujhazy responded in an affecting
and impressive address, frequently interrupted
by the plaudits of the audience, whose faces
were, at several points in the speech, bedewed
with tears. The Magyar language was used on
the occasion, and at the close of the speeches
many an earnest ‘ Eljen” broke from the lis
teners.
Savannah and Augusta Rail-Road.- -We
are gratified to announce that the President
and Directors of the above Road have already
purchased 2,000 tons of Railroad iron, or
enough to reach to Waynesboro. A part of
this iron has already arrived from Wales and
the rest is looked for soon. It is a beautiful
T rail of 56 lbs, to the yard. The Road will
start from the 76 Mile Station on the Central
Road, and contracts will be made at once for
the whole distance to Waynesboro. It is deter
mined to finish the Road to that point by the
j Ist of November next, and when finished, it
will be incontestibly the best Road in Georgia
or in the South. —Savannah Republican.
Valuable Cargo.—The ship Geo. Brown
cleared for Liverpool at the Savannah Cus
tom-House Friday, with a cargo of 2,695 bales
Upland and 105 bales Sea Island, valued,
at $127,759 93.
Health, Temperature, &c.—After a cold
snap, which lasted from the beginning of the
week until within the last thirty-six hours, the
weather has become exceedingly mild. Yes
terday was a very damp day, the atmosphere
having been overcharged with moisture from
early morn to the falling in of twilight. A
considerable quantity of rain fell in the mor
ning. The health of the city is remarkably
good ; indeed, so far as our observation has ex
tended, it never was better. We are therefore
much surprised to read in various country
journals and distant exchanges that sickness
prevails in New Orleans. Those who cir
culate such unfounded statements must either
derive their information from imperfect and
unauthentic sources, or speak in wantonness.
The city is crowded with population, and stran
gers abound in every quarter. This gives an
impetus to the minor branches of trade, that
causes money to circulate briskly among shop
keepers and others engaged in retail business.

We learn from the Cincinnati papers, that
there are upwards of thirty large establishments
in that city employed in the manufacture of
lard oil, which is accomplished by divesting
the lard of one ofitsconstituentparts—stearine.
The largest of these, whose operations are
probably more extensive than any other in the
United Slates, has manufactured heretofore
into lard oil and stearine 140,000 pounds
monthly, all the year round, and the great in
crease of hogs for the presentseason will prob
ably enlarge that business this year fifty per
cent. Calculated that 11,000,000 pounds lard
will be run into lard oil this year, two-sevenths
of which aggregate will make stearine, the
residue oil, say about 24.000 barrels of 42
gallons each. Much the larger share of this
is of inferior lard, made of mast-fed andstili-fed
hogs, the material, to a great extent, coming
from a distance—hence the poor quality ot
western lard oil. Lard oil, besides being sold
for what it actually is,isalso used for adulterating
sperm oil, and in France serves to materially
reduce the cost of olive oil, the skill of the
French chemists enabling them to incorporate
from sixty to seventy per cent, of lard oil with
that of the olive. These is also an establish
ment in that city which, besides putting up
haras, &c., is entensively engaged in extracting
the grease from the rest of the hog and will prob
ably thisyear operate in this way on 30,000 hogs.
It has seven large circular tanks, six ofcapacity
to hold each 15,000 pounds, and one 6,000
pounds. These receive the entire carcasses,
wah the exception of the hams and the mass
is subjected to steam process, under a pressure
of7o pounds to the square inch, the effect of
which operation is to reduced the whole to one
consistence, and every bone to powder. The fat
is drawn of by cocks, and the residuam, a
mere earthy substance, is taken away for ma
nure. Besides the hogs which reach this fac
tory entire carcasses, the great mass of head,
ribs, hack-bones, tailpieces, feet, and other trim
mings of the hogs cut up at different pork
houses, are subjected to the same process, in
order to extract every particle of grease. This
concern alone is expected to turn out this sea
son 3,600 000 pounds of lard five sixths of
which is No. 1. Six hundred hogs daily pass
through these tanks one day with another.
The stearine expressed from the lard Is used
to make candles by being subjected to hydrau
lic pressure, by which three-eighths ufit is dis
charged as an impure oleine; thislastis employ
ed in the manufacture of soap; 3,000.000
pounds of stearine have been made in one year
into caudles and soap in these factories, and
they can make 6,000 pounds of candles per
average day thioughout the year.

O’ Facts to be He me mbe red*- -That Con
sumption is almost always produced by a cold that
might be easily cured. That Wistar’s Balsam o
W ild Cherry will cure any cough or cold , no matter
of how long standing. The milder form of Consura
lion itself is also cured by this Balsam. That it is
conceded by many lawyers, clergymen and physi
cians, that this Balsam has never been equalled for
efficacy in all affections of the Lungs and Liver.
That scores now rejoice in the possession of good
health who, but for this Balsam, would have been
in their graves —having been given up to die by their
friends and physicians.
Dr. Bradford Knapp, of Grown Point, N. Y., in a
letter says : —‘‘ In t' course of my practice in this
vicinity, I have tested in some degree the good quali
ties of Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry , in Pul
monary Complaints, and now 1 wish to procure a
supply of the medicine.”

of that kind, to try it. G. A. Schabzman.

O’ Baldness Cured—Mr. William Bogle
—Dear Sir: For several years past, my wife has
been troubled with baldness on the crown of the
head, about six or seven inches in circumference.
After repeated failures of other so-called remedies,
and by the advice of friends, she was induced to use
your Hyperion as a wash, for the purpose of restoring
her lost hair, and I am happy to say that its effect
has been to cause the hair to grow all over the part
affected. ?he has used only two bottles, and that
very irregularly; had she used it oltener and more
regular, I am convinced that the growtd of the hair
would have been accelerated. I am, sir, yours re
spectfully, Summer E. Barrett.
