We trust the Mountain Creek School
picnic was a success. Miss Alice Davis
has our thanks for the invitation to be
present, and will please be assured that
oar absence was unavoidable.
We regret our inability to attend the
Commencement exercises of the Easley
High School. Thanks to the faculty of j
that flourishing school for an invitation
to be present and read an essay for one
of the young ladies. Prof. Lake and his
school have onr best wishes.
We are' grateful to our friend "Trus
tee" for his timely words in reply to
"Who," and to friend "Live and Let
Live" for the following: "To pacify our
fellow-sufferer about 'the Abbeville
line' and to sustain the Trustee' at the
otEer extreme border lino oF our County
.- in his opinion',' equity and,circumstances
demand that a 'middle man-'rise and mu?
tiny.' Notwithstanding" "we can look
from our post of duty upon the towering
church steeples of the city of Anderson,
the Commissioner has not yet been to see
us. Knowing that be is a hard worked
man, we accepted'the reason . he pub*
lished for not visiting all the schools.
Nevertheless, we looked- for him, and I
dare say hare been: benefited by the
looking', we expect'him to come yet, and
will be greatly disappointed if we are
not benefitted by the coming "
ORIGINAL SPEECHES.
. ?? \ i
We like the idea of .retiring young
men-to write and deliver speeches. Ifj
"writing makes an exact man," our boys
ctnd young men should be required to do
more of it. The delivery of a boy's first
original speech may be the turning point
in bis life?the effort may shake him up,
it may arouse some dormant powers with
which he is unacquainted. If it does
not open to him a new world, or greatly
strengthen his ambition, the work will
afford a drill exercise that will make him
more exact and more natural in his ex
pressions. Some teachers require origi?
nal speeches at least twice a mouth;
others require compositions once a week.
Our own opinion is that they can not be
required too often. Some one has said
that it were well for a student to write
something every day. The extensive
use of the black-board in recitations
nowadays, does away, in a measure, with
the demand fur very frequent original
productions. Facility of expression and
the correct use of words are acquired in
? the constant use of the black-board.
CORRECT SPEECH:
Young man, yon do not speak correct?
ly. Why is it? what is the matter?
where lies the difficulty ? You know
better. You have studied grammar.
You have heard cultivated persons talk.
How then is it that yon give yourself up
to coarseness, to vulgarisms, to an ugly
looseness of speech ? It is nothing but
habit. One can become so accustomed
to thinking and speaking loosely and in?
correctly that it amounts to a habit,- and
a very hard one to break, too. My dear
young friend, don't put this matter off |
as of no importance: learn to think
purely, and think well; learn to speak
truly, and sneak correctly. One has said
that the speech, the manner, the walk
are the alphabet by which we spell char
acter. Young man, you are making
your character?how will it look when
one can spell it out distinctly? Let
these different letters be clear and dis?
tinct and beautiful. We do not know
but that Thorean was right when he said;
"We are all sculptors and painters, and
our material is otrr own flesh, and blood,
and bones. Any nobleness begins at
once to refine a man's features; any
meanness or sensuality, to imbrute
them."
THE ANDERSON MILITARY SCHOOL.
Tc-day, from our window, we can see
the Cadets from the. Andersou Military
School walking the streets and chatting
with all the vivacity of their boyish na?
tures. How happy they look I How
jolly! How bright ( Commencement
exercises are over, and the beautiful
flowers, their trophies, have been taken
to their rooms and pressed ready to be
taken home to mother and sister or hid?
den away to be kept as the most precious
. treasure of life. But we did not take up
oar pen for the purpose of writing to the
boys. Though we feel just now like fill?
ing this entire column with words of en?
couragement and warning to the boys,
we desist, leaving the good impressions
made by Gen. Capers' speech and the
magnetism of his presence unmolested.
Onr province is to deal with the pub?
lic schools of the County, but may we
not be excused for a few words in com?
mendation of the Anderson Military
School?
It seems to us that Anderson is pecu?
liarly blessed. Above every thing, every
town ought to have a first class male
school. This Anderson has. As to the
military feature of this school, we know
not enough of such things to express an
intelligent opinion; but so far as the lit?
erary and scientific training of the boys
is concerned, we do not hesitate to pro?
nounce it second to no preparatory school
in the South. The principals are gentle?
men of acknowledged ability?the one,
a graduate of the old South Carolina
College, with many years experience as
a teacher,, and the other a graduate of
Wofford, with ten years experience in the
3chool-room. As au evidence of the
thorough traiuing given to boys here,
wo point with no little pride to the
record made by the Anderson boys iu
competitive examinations for positions at
West Point and Annapolis. Students
that have gone out from this school to
colleges in this State and in others have
always stood among the first iu their
classes. Anderson is regarded by the
wholesale merchants as one of the safest
business place;? in upper Carolina; she
is noted not only for the financial stand?
ing of her merchants, but for their fine
business capacity and integrity of char?
acter as well. Let it not be forgotten
that very many, if not a majority of the
professional and business men of Ander
eoq received their mental and moral
training at this school.
Do we appreciate thi.i school as we
ought? Do the citizens of Anderson
County appreciate it aaithey ought? Is
their good;reaspn<for sending a boy away
from Anderson .County to be prepared
for College or fitted for a business life?
Are we not rather bound to support by
onr patronage and encouragement a
school' o?\such ^ recognized ability ?
There ought to be two hundred and fifty
students-in this school, and a large num?
ber of them ought to be from the County.
The free schools and subscription schools
scattered all over the County ought to be
i feeders for this central school. Many
boys, by hard work and economy, could
go to this school, and walk home every
Friday night, while to go off to Colum?
bia, or Greenville, or Spartanburg would
perhaps be impossible. Besides, there is
no sense in sending a boy off to college
to be put in the preparatory department
and prepared for the regular college
course. Let him be prepared hero at
Anderson fof a useful career in life or a
successful college course.

IS FBIDAY AN UNtTIGXY DAYJ .
A journal answers this question in the
following satisfactory manner:
On Friday, August 21, 1492, Christo?
pher Columbus sailed on his great voy?
age of discovery. On Friday, October
12, 1492, he first discovered land. On
Friday, January 4,1493, he'sailed on his
return to Spain, which, if he bad not
leached in safety, the happy-result would
never have been known .which led to the
settlement on this vast continent. On
Friday, March 15, 1493-, he arrived at
Palos in safety. On Friday, November
22, 1493, he arrived at Hispaniola. on
his second voyage to America. On Fri?
day, June 13,1494, he} though unknown
to himself, discovered the contineut of
America. On Friday, March 5, 1496,
Henry VIII. of England gave to John
Cabot his commission, which led to the
discovery of North America. This is
the first American stato paper in Eng?
land. On Friday, September 7, 1585,
Melendez founded St. AugustlnSy tbe
oldest town in the United States by moie
than forty years. On Friday, November
10,1620, the May-flower, with the Pil?
grims, made the harbor of Provincetown ;
and on the same day they signed that
august compact, the forerunner of our
present glorious constitution. On Fri?
day, December 22, 1620, the Pilgrims
made their final landing at Plymouth
Rock. On Friday, February 22, 1732,
George Washington, the father of Amer?
ican freedom, was born. On Friday,
June 16, Bunker Hill was seized and for?
tified. On Friday, October 7,1777, the
surrender of Saratoga was made, which
had such power and influence in induc?
ing France to declare for oUr cause. On
Friday, September 22, 1780, the treason
of Arnold was laid bare, which saved us
from destruction. On Friday, October
19,1781, the surrender at Yorktown, the
crowning glory of tbe American arms,
occurred. On Friday, July 7, 1776, the
motion in Congress was made by John
Adams, seconded by Bichard Henry Lee,
that the United States colonies were,
and of. right ought to be, free and inde?
pendent. Thus, by numerous examples,
we see that, however it may be with for?
eign nations, Americans need never
dread to begin on Friday any undertak?
ing, however momentous it may be."
Overflowing Money Values.
The president of one of the largest
and busiest banks in the vicinity of Wall
street said one day last week : "Money
is simply a glut in the market; the
banks are becoming money poor." The
speaker was one of the last of the New
York bank presidents to cling to tbe cus?
tom of paying interest on deposits in
banks of discount. He abandoned the
custom recently?except in a few special
cases?because the present condition of
the banking business did not warrant
such payments. The same bank presi?
dent refused outright, a few days ago, to
accept a deposit of $150,000. His bank
has more money than it knows what to
do with.
O. D. Baldwin, president of the
Fourth National, said there was about
$61,000,000 of cash lying idle in (the
banks. He declared that his bank would
be glad to loan money on call at 3 per
cent, per annum, but there seemed to be
no demand for large amounts. Henry
Clews remarked, "The want of confi?
dence among investors has left tbe banks,
the trust companies, and large estates
burdened with cash. It would be a good
thing for business everywhere if some of
this money could be got into active cir?
culation." An old established law firm
down town holds more than $2,500,000 of
trust funds, for which they have thus far
been unable to find profitable invest?
ment.. Most of the large banks are com?
plaining of the steady increase in their
cash supply. One Wall street bank
which controls a very large estate has its
vaults filled with money, which the
bank has thus far been unable to place
to advantage.
Tbe undesirable plentitude of cash is
not confined to banks and trust funds.
Even the large vaults in the massive sub
treasury building are becomiug uncom?
fortably crowded. It has recently been
found necessary to put timber cross
pieces in the compartments of the silver
vault to prevent the iron partitions from
being broken down by the increasing ac?
cumulation of silver coin. Even the
central corridor of this vault is being
slowly filled with bags of silver dollars,
each bag weighing fifty pounds. Fortu?
nately, the silver vault rests upon a solid
foundation of masonry, concrete and
iron, about thirty feet thick. The small?
er vault, which contains gold coin and
paper money, is also crowded. Most of
the compartments are filled, and bundles
of gold and silver certificates are stacked
up in plain view on shelves running
around the vault. Several millions of
dollars are disposed of in this way.
In one small compartment?not as
largo as a two foot cubo?there are
packed thirteen bundles of greeubacks
of large denominations. Each bundle
contains exactly $1,000,000. Bookkeeper
Burr consulted bis ledger when asked
how much money there was in the sub
treasury last week, and replied, "in round
numbers, $172,000,000." ? New York

Bedclothes of Paper.
A paper making firm in New Jersey
has for .several weeks been turning out
counterpanes and pillow cases of paper.
No. 1 matiilla paper is used, two large
sheets being held together by a slender
twine at intervals of three or four inches;
the twine is gummed so as to hold the
sheets firmly together where it lies. A
hem U placed on the counterpane to keep
it from tearing ; the safety edge is com?
posed of twine. Ornamental designs are
stamped on the outer surfaces of the
covers aud pillow-cases, giving them a
neat, attractive appearance.
When these counterpanes and pillow?
cases become wrinkled from use, they
can easily be smoothed out with a hot
flatiron. The counterpanes can be left
on the bed when it is occupied, and in
cold weather will be found a warm cov?
ering, paper preventing the escape of
heat. The new paper bed-clothing is 75
cents per set, and will probably become
very popular.?Paper Maker.

A ?rafceman's Experience.
It was a damp, foggy night in early
spring, and I was one of the crew which
had in charge a "wild" freight, which we
had been most of the night?for it was
nearly morning now?iu gettiug au in?
significant distance toward our destina?
tion. We had been side tracked several
times for trains to pass us, the last time
for several hours, so that When we got
under Way and thought everything was
clear for' a good r?fy it Was only about an
hour before daylight?the very darkest
time in a very dark night, however. I
think 1 never saw a blacker, thicker
atmosphere than we had that night;
even the lanterns could not be seen rnol'e
than the length of a half dozen cars.
When we got under headway I started
to go up to the engine for something, and
was gropiug my way over the tops of the
cars very cautiously?for it was danger?
ous work, on account of the darkness,
for even an experienced brakeman, while
I was green and awkward?when hap?
pening to throw the light of my lantern
down between tWo cara, I saW a dark
mass of something against the end of
one of them. I stopped to look closer,
and swinging my lantern between the
cars saw it was some poor fellow stealing
a ride. He bad his bat pulled down over
his face, and, more asleep than awake,
was keeping iu an upright position by
clinging to the steps Used for gettiug up
on the car. The light I bad thrown
about him and the noise I had made
roused him up.- j When' he saw he had
been discovered, he put the best possible
face ou the matter and expressed his de?
termination to stay on the train Until we
reached the1 end of the route. I told
him that ho could not do this, and we
Soon got into an angry dispute. He then
climbed upon the car, and as he did so I
moved to the other end. In this posi?
tion we continued our war of words, he,
meanwhile, standing very close to the
end of the car. I soon concluded to
leave him and find out of the conductor
what should be done. I did not like his
impudence and knew that somehow we
would have to get him off the train ; but
with the indications of brawn and muscle
which he possessed, I did not care about
getting into close quarters alone on the
top of a freight car.
As I was about to move away the train
gave a lurch as she struck an imperfect
rail,'which almost threw me off my feet.
At th'o Same time I saw my unwelcome
passenger make a wild grasp in the air,
as his body swayed backward with the
shock through which it had been so hard
for me to keep my- position on the car,
and as dimly as I could see his face the
expression of horror and fright was one
of the most painful sights I ever saw
then he uttered a wild shriek, and half
swinging around on one foot upon which
he was tryiug to balance himself, he fell
headlong out of sight between the cars.
On more piercing wail reached ray ears,
and then all was drowned in the roar of
the on-speeding train.
It was not a manly thing to do, I am
aware; but I fainted on top of the car.
It must have been about half an hour
afterward, for it was by this time day?
light, when I came to and began to real?
ize what had happened. As soon as
possible I got back to the caboose and
detailed to the conductor what had oc?
curred. By this lime we were ten or
twelve miles from the seene of the acci?
dent, so he said:
"We're running wild, and if we go
back and pick up the remains, of that
fellow it'll take au hour. The only thing
I can see that we can do is to go on to
the next station and send for orders."
This we did and got permission from
headquarters to run back.
The train had to back down, of course,
and when we came within a couple of
miles of the point near which we sup?
posed we would find at least a portion of
our man, the train slackened its speed
and the conductor and myself began to
keep a careful watch along the track.
Presently from a clump of blackberry
bushes, in the corner of a rail fence,
some one sang out:
"Gents, if you'uu3 cum clean back
here fur me, I simply want to say thet I
'predate it. 'Tisn't every road'd do it.
1 ain't no pressin' engagements at the
end o' your line; but 1 'preciate your
kindness in comin' back fur me, any?
how 1"
We peered in the direction indicated
by the voice. There, upon the top rail
of the fence, with one leg thrown over
the other, and calmly smoking a short
pipe?a picture of impudence?sat the
fellow we had expected to gather up in
fragments, safe and sound, scarcely a
scratch worse off than when I first saw
him between the cars.
The conductor grasped the situation at
once, and our train was soon, again going
forward. His feelings were so outraged
to think the man hadn't been killed?
had n't even been hurt?that he did noth?
ing but heap abuse upon me until we got
our train in; and I believe be considered
me as great a criminal because the acci?
dent did not prove fatal to the fellow as
though he had been killed and I was the
direct cause of it.
It seemed to me that I was an entirely
innocent participant in the incident; but
every one appeared to think that by all
laws of nature the man ought to have
been killed, and that I, somehow, was
the cause of the thing missing fire, and
was not to be trusted in consequence.
So a-few days later I got- my discharge.

Orchards and Their Care.
The season of the year is approaching
when fruit trees of every kind should
have some attention. It is taken for
granted that those who wish to be instruct?
ed have taken the suggestions offered in
these remarks. If not, then they are
not intended for you. All of the new
growth on the frees should be rubbed off |
noWj and all through the growing sea?
son, except such as may be desired to re?
main for branches. It should be the
rule not to let a single bud grow out that
will not be profitable to the tree. Here
is one of the great secrets in successful
fruit growing. The ordinary orchard is
allowed to exhaust itself in putting out
and growing superfluous branches, water
shoots and sprouts that are cut away
after they have abstracted from the tree
a large number of pounds of substance,
which would have been such uuto the
tree, bad the growth been removed when
it first started. It is easily done. The
farmer's wife or daughters will fiud it an
inviting exercise, besides the intellectual
entertainment the many growth will
afford by suggesting thoughts sublime,
and good to the mind. If the trees are
too full of fruit, remove the smaller and
effected ones as soon as you can decide
upon their growth. If you have a less
number you will more than regain the
loss of number in pounds and quality of
the fruit. Do not allow young trees to
over hour. Remove all the fruit down to
just what the limbs can hold without
bending. It is a great question, yet not
fully settled by fruit growers, whether a
tree ought to bear more fruit than it can
hold up without springing the branches
but slightly. In young trees it is best
to remove the smaller fruit and leave
only such quantity as will not burden tho
true; and it may be added thai the large
trees will live longer and bear more fruit,
year after year, if not permitted to be?
come over-ladened with its fruit. A
fruit tree will live and be profitable lon?
ger than a man, if taken care of. There
is a peach tree on the South side of
Tryon Mountain, in Polk County, N. C,
in the "Thermal Belt," that has been
known to bear for sixty years, excei t
two, and it will have a profitable crop
this year again. The thing that success?
ful farmers and fruit growers must be?
come impressed with is care. Next to
religion is care. In fact it is more than
likely that, to become a thorough disciple
to care, will lead one very near, if not
quite into the perfect path of daily life.
Let care for your fruit trees, care for
your crops, care for your stock, care for
your family, care for yourself, (which is
only another wrrd for "watch,") be up?
permost in your minds, and every one
will lcam the ways of Nature. Produce
more and better for the labor, and extri?
cate yourselves from the conlmon sentence
pronounced against the husbandman on
account of ighorauce a way back yonder
in the first garden?"in the sweat of thy
face shall thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground."
Making Their Own Dresses.
A curious feature of tbe home dress?
making furor that has seized upon so
many ladies this Spring is the introduc?
tion of what arc termed figure-forms.
Ladies who never thought of sUcb a
thing before are making a large part of
their Summer outfits themselves, and
even young ladies in society, though they
dare not trust themselves to get up their
finest things, are trying.their hands, With
what assistance they ca? get, at making
their own tennis suits and knockabout
dresses for the mountains and seashore.
These figure-forms are made of papier
mache and can easily be adjusted to any
height. Tbey also come in so many
varieties and si?es that with very little
change and alteration they dan be made
complete/etc rimile* of the flgtlrea of the
ladles vVhd use tnem, with every propor?
tion of bust, arms, neck and waist exact,
With one of these a lady has compara?
tively little difficulty in fitting herself.
With completed parts of ? costume
draped oh tbe lay figure she contrasts
and studies the effect, as well as exam?
ines the fit, and is thus enabled to tell
satisfactorily in advance how everything
will look. Going a step further some
ladies have heads on their figure forms,
on which tbey place and fit hats and
bonnets, and are in this way enabled to
study out and anticipate every detail of
their appearance.
This plan of having models has been
found so convenient that a number of
fashionable und wealthy ladies who have
agteat many dresses made and who are
anxious to avoid the fatigue and annoy?
ance of so many fittings have themselves
carefully reproduced in papier niackc, so
that when they come to see about a suit
they stretch themselves back at ease in a
cushioned dh?ir and wait while the dress?
maker tells her assistant to "bring down
Miss Smith" or "get Mrs. Brown out of
the closet," as the case may be. The
dresses are then fitted on the lay figure.?

Not a Book Ageut.
There is a General of local fame who
went through a very unhappy quarter of
an hour a week or so ago. He has just
returned from the East. There he made
the acquaintance of a yollng gentleman
who is engaged to be married to a very
charming Oakland girl. The truth, that
always is the accessory of separation of
lovers, burned in the youog man's breast,
aud he took>the opportunity, when the
General was leaving, to load him down
with messages of love and a book for his
fiancee. The gallant warrior undertook
the commission with all willingness, and
when he had rested from his trip he
started off one Sunday morning for Oak?
land with the book under his arm. He'
sought out tbe address given him, for the
young girl was a stranger to him, aDd as
he approached he saw a lady seated on
the steps of an Oakland villa. He opened
the gate aud walked in with an imposing
martial air. The lady eyed him with an
unfavorable look.
"You are Mrs. Jenkinson ??*'
"I am."
"I have here a book-"
"I don't want any books."
"Is there a Miss Jeukinsou?"
"There is."
"Is she at home V
"Yes."
"I have here a book-"
"Miss Jenkinson doesn't want any
books."
"Hang it all, madam ! I'm not a book
agent. Your daughter's sweetheart in
New York asked me to deliver this book
to her with his love. I don't care a darn
whether she wants it or not. Here it is.
Good-day, madam."?San Francisco
Chronicle.
Washing Without Rubbing.
A lady in New Jersey writes: "Your
column devoted to 'The Household' has
interested mo greatly and I enclose to
you directions for washing, which save
all rubbing. These directions were orig?
inally sent me from Germany, and have
proved a boon to rich aud poor alike,
wherever recommended. Iuto a large
boiler full of boiling water shave a pound
and one-half of good brown soap (or its
equivalent of soft-soap will do) and
pour half a tea cup of kerosene oil.
Soak the clothes over night, next morn?
ing put them into boiler and boil exactly
twenty minutes, stirring frequently.
Take out, drop into tub of clean, hot
water and wring into second tub, and
again iuto third. Starch and blue. If
soda or any washing fluid is added, the
whole process will prove uusuccessful. I
hope that many will try this simple plan
of washing. Those who do will find
'Monday' divested of its horrors as wash?
ing day. The clothes must be wrung
through the three waters, and the direc?
tions closely followed to insure perfect
success.
There are several kinds of wash-boilers
sold that are made upon this principle.
The boiling takes the place of rubbing.
But it will be hard to convince house?
keepers that rubbing can be oinittted.
A Georgia Boy's Bride.
One of our neighbor boys brought
home a wife very unexpectedly and under
great difficulties. For some time past
the little town of Allendale, S. O, has
had some attractions for the young gen?
tleman in question. The youug lady he
wooed and won, but the irate father would
not yield the point. So it become neces?
sary to resort to strategy. It was planned
that they would take a ride aud have a
secret marriage, but to do that the con?
sent of the clergy was necessary. Three
of the reverend gentlemen were applied
to aud all refused. By this time the
irate father felt suspicious and placed his
daughter in a room adjoining his own,
with no means of escape, save through
bis own room, as he thought. It was
then night, and all retired. But love,
not wishing to bi- thus outdone, began
planning an escape. She knew the train
fur Augusta would be along at 2 o'clock.
Upon examination she found means of
escape through the floor and crawled
undei her father's room to the front gate,
it being the only way to get out. She
nvide lor tho depot and was just in time
to meet the trail for Augusta, whither
they repaired, and procuring the nccessay
documents sought and obtained the aid of
more accommodating clergy and were
married in clue (miu. ? JIarhin, (in., Sen?

and said, "Why don't you help them?"
"Sir," was the* pompous reply, "lam a

pulled with the men til! tho sweat stood

raised, he said to the. lillln great man,

such job and have not men enough send
fur your commander in chief and I will
gladly come and help you again." The

AYER'S
Hair Vigor
restores, with tho gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural^ rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired;
By its uso light or red luiir ihaybo darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though1 not always, cured.
It checks falling of tho hair, and stimu?
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents' And cures scurf and dandruff,' and
Iioals nearly every disease peculiar to tho
scalp. As a Ladles* Hair Dressing, tho
Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dyo, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
B?ken in appearance,and imparts a delicate,
agrcoable, and lasting perfume;
Mr. C. P. BniCHER writes from Kirby, 0..
July 3, 1882 : "Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and In a short timo I becaino
nonrly- bald. I used part of a bottle Of
Aver's Hair Vioor, which stopped tho fall?
ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I
havo now a full head of hair growing vigor?
ously, and am convinced that bnt for tho
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald."
..J.W.Bowen, proprietor of the Mc Arthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, aays:" Ater's Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
I speak of it from my own experience;
uso promotes tho growth of new hair; and
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure euro for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has tho preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction."
Mr. Angus Fairdairn, leader of tho
celebrated " Fairbairn Family "? of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. C,
1880: "Ever since my hair began to give sil?
very evidence of the chango which lleeting
timo procuroth, I have used Ayer's Hair|
Vioor, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness,?a matter of
considerable consequence to roinlstors, ora?
tors, actors, and In fact every one who lives
in tho eyes of the public."
. Mrs. 0. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm
St., Charlestoten, Mass., April 14, 1882, says:
" Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
tame off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. Oil using Ayer's Hair
Vigor the falling stopped aud a new growth
commenced, aiid In about a month my head
was completely covored with short hair. It
lias continued to grow, and is now as good as
bofore It fell. I regularly used but one bottle
of tho Vigor, bat now uso it occasionally aa
a dressing."
"Wo have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the officacy of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It
needs bnt a trial to convinco the most skepti?
cal of its value.
