A NQVh FEATURE
Presents itself to those who use Parker’s Hair
Balsam, in the discovery of its rare and re—
mav kabm merits Matty have written ns ex
pressing their delight in the fluff, that it works
like a charm. Its disinfectant properties in
chemical combination rendering it healthful,
cleansing an healing are bearing fruit, and the
beautiful hair it produces, with the clean,
healthy scalp, entirely freed from Dandruff
and falling hair, are achievments for which we
have reason to feel proud. A patron assures
ins that he has used twelve different Hair Pre¬
parations and that Parker’s Hair Balsam sur
passes them all, To hair that has become
gray or faded, it restores that beautiful natur¬
al color of youth, and produces a vigor and
luxuriance that fifffprises every one. Buy a
bottle from your druggist, Ayers & Co., and
test its hierits.
EVERY MOTHER
Will greatly add to her own strinsrth and
comfort by a free use of Parker’s Ginger Ton¬
ic, while its invigorating properties that soothe
the nerves and induce refreshing sleep, are
iitqjarted through the milk to the nursing
babe, making the. little one quiet, contented,
cheerful and happy—the best way to make
the fretful child ii “good baby,” It is also a
most ^comforting remedy for the Aged, the
Feeble and Convalescent ; it builds up and
sustains the strength, so thes the nerves, ban¬
ishes iffehmeholy, ana is incomparably superi¬
or to wines or liquors while it does not intoxi¬
cate. Buy from yohr diuggist, Ayers & Co. a
§1 00 bottle, or a sample bottle 15 cents and
