mere feeble, delicate drones upon society.

Batioaal Treatment, Positive Cares.
Hr. R. Y. Pierce, President of
the World’s Dispensary Medi-
cal Association, is in earnest in
selling his medicines under
positive guarantees, and if any-
body who purchases and uses
any of these widely celebrated
remedies, does not derive bene-
titTtherefrom, the Association
would like to bear from that
person with description of
symptoms and history of case.
Organized and incorporated, as
the Association is, to teach
medicine and surgery and for
the successful treatment of ill
chronic diseases and managing
annually thousands of cases
through our original method of
diagnosis without ever seeing
the patients, and having also
the largest sanitarium in the
world for the accommodation of
the more complicated cases,
and also for surgical cases, the
Faculty feel themselves pre-
pared to undertake even the
most discouraging cases. They
resort to all the best remedial
means known to modem medi-
cal science—neglecting nothing.

for young girls as well as married ladies,
who have by some exposure, become ir-
regular pale and feeble, with headache

Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. %
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving 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 hnmors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases of
the scalp and hair are impossible.
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 economi-
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
