The terrible fires which recently devas

Rev. Mr. Kuhns compared the dandies to

use to any community but somehow almost
every community has some of these. We
have seen a broadcloth coat many a time
hide a very hollow heart and a silk beaver
perched on top of many an empty head.—

This standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, nnd the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal

found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M.D., State Assaj’er
