Hair Vigor ,

NATURAL VITALITY AND C01-0R.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, It heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
“ » re
As a Dressing: fbr Ladies* Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

Russian Filial Devotion.
The Russian papers tell a singular story
of filial devotion. A woman in Stavropol,
oo years old, had repremamlcd her son, a
full-grown man, and was excited to still
greater anger against him by her daughter.
At last she grew so Infuriated that she
raised her arm to strike her son ; hut lie
grasped his mother’s arm and prevented
the blow. For this action tho old ludy
made complaints against him before a
J udge, and lie was ordered to appear In
court. Whereupon, filled with remorse at
having tried to avert the wrathful blow of
Ids mother, he seized an ax and chopped off
his offending band.
