Slow growth of hair comes from lack of hair food. The hair has no life. It is starved. It keeps coming out, gets thinner and thinner, bald spots appear, then actual baldness. The only good hair food you can bdy is — I t feeds the roots, stops starvation, and the hair grows thick and long. It cures dan druff also. Keep a bottle of it on your dressing table. It always restores color to faded or gray hair. Mind, we say “always.” $1.00 a bottle.

Washington, July 22.—In this dls- oourse l>r. TalmaKo (who Is now trav eling In Europe) puts in an unusual light the mission of Christ and shows how divine power will yet make the Ill nesses of the world fall hack; text, Matthew xl, 5, “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers an 1 eleansed and the deaf hear.” “Doetor,” I said to a distinguished surgeon, “do you not get worn out with constantly seeh.g so many wounds and broken bones and distortions of the human body?” “Oh, no,” be answered; “all that Is overcome by my Joy in cur ing them.” A subllmer and more mer ciful art never came down from heav en than that of surgery. Catastrophe and disease entered the earth so early that one of the first wants of .he world was a doctor. Our crippled and agoniz ed human race called for surgeon and family physician for many years be fore they came. The first surgeons who answered this call were ministers of religion — namely, the Egyptian priests. And what a grand thing If all clergymen were also doctors, all D. D.’s were M. D.’s, for there are so many cases where body and soul need treatment at the same time, consola tion and medicine, heology and thera peutics. As the first surgeons of the world wore also ministers of religion, may those two professions always he in full sympathy! But under what dis advantages the early surgeons worked, from the fact that the dissection of the human body was forbidden, first by the pagans and then by the early Christians! Apes, being the brutes most like the human race, were dis sected, hut no human body might be unfolded for physiological and anatom ical exploration, and the surgeons had to guess what was inside the temple by looking at the outside of It. If they failed In any surgical operation, they were persecuted and driven out of the city, as was Archngathus because of fils bold but unsuccessful attempt to save a patient. Great SnriroonH. But the world from the very begin ning kept calling for surgeons, and their first skill is spoken of in Genesis, where they employed their art for the incisions of a sacred rite, God making surgery the predecessor of baptism, and we see it again In 11 Kings, where Ahnziah, the monarch, stepped on some cracked latticework in the palace, and it broke, and lie fell from the up per to the lower floor, and he was so hurt that he sent to the Tillage of Kk- ron for aid, and Aesculapius, who wrought such wonders of surgery that he was deified and temples were built for bis worship at I'ergamos; and Epi- daurus and I'odelirius introduced for the relief of the world phlebotomy, and Damocedes cured the dislocated ankle of King Darius and the cancer of his queen, and Hippocrates put successful hand on fractures ami Introduced am putation, and 1'raxagoras removed ob structions, am] IlcrophilUH began dis- sectiou, and Eraslstratus removed tu mors, and (Visits, the Homan surgeon, removed cataract from the eye and used Hie Spanish fly; and ITcliodorus arrested disease of the throat, and Al exander of Tralles treated the eye, and Ithazps cauterized for the prevention of hydrophobia, and Berclval I’ott came to combat diseases of the spine, and in our own century we have had, among others, a Itoux and a Larray in France, an Astley Cooper and an Aber- nethy in Great Britain and a Valentino Mott and Willard Parker and Samuel l). Gross In America and a galaxy of living surgeons as brilliant as their predecessors. What mighty progress in the baffling of dlsegse since the crip pled and sick of ancient cities were laid along the streets, that people who had ever been hurt or disordered in tbo same way might suggest what had bet ter be done for the patients, and tbo priests of olden time, who were con stantly suffering from colds received in walking barefoot over the temple pavements, had to prescribe for them selves, and fractures were considered so far beyond all human cure that In stead of calling In the surgeon the peo ple only invoked the gods! But notwithstanding all the surgical and medical skill of the world, with what tenacity the old diseases hang on to the human race, and most of them are thousands of years old, and In our Bibles we rend of them—the carbun cles of Job and Jlezeklah, the palpita tion of the heart spoken of In Deuter onomy, the sunstroke of a child carried from the Helds of Hhunem, crying, head, my head!” King Asa’s disease of the feet, which was nothing but gout; defection of teeth, that called for den tal surgery, the skill of which, almost equal to anything modern, is still seen in tiie filled molars of the unrolled Egyptian mummies; tiie ophthalmia caused by the Juice of the newly ripe fig, leaving the people blind by the roadside; epilepsy, as In the ease of the young man often falling into the fire and oft into the water; hypochondria, as of Nebuchadnezzar, who imagined himself an ox and going out to the fields to pasture; the withered hand, which In Bible times, as now, came from tiie destruction of the main ar tery or from paralysis of the chief nerve; the wounds of the man whom the thieves left for degd on the road to Jericho and whom the gtxjd Samaritan nursed, pouring in oil am) wine—wine to cleanse the wound and oil to sooths It. Thank God for what surgery has done for the alleviation and cure of hu man Htiffcrijig! HealliiK Wlttionf Pain. But the world wanted u surgery without pain. Drs. I’arre and Hick- man am) Hlmpsou and Warner and Jackson, with iholp amazing genius, came forward and with lliclr umesthet- hs benumbed lli<‘ patient with narcot ics and Hlo is as tilt* ancients did with husherHh and mandrake and quieted him for awhile, hut at tiie re]urn "f coiihcIoiisiichm (llatreMs returned. The world litis never wteii but one surgeon who could straighten the crooked limb, cure the blind eye or reconstruct the drum of a hoiiihIIchh ear or reduce a dropsy without pain, and that surgeon was Jesus Christ, Hie mightiest, grand est, Mc<d|rst uml most sympathetic Bur geon the world ever saw or ever will see. and he deserves the coqlidem e /,iu} love and worship and hosanna of an the earth and halleluiahs of all heaven. “The blind receive their sight and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear.” I notice this surgeon had i fondness for chronic cases. Many a surgeon, when he has had a patient brought to him, has said: "Why was not this at tended to five years ago? You bring him to me after all power of recupera tion Is gone. You have waited until there Is a complete contraction of the muscles, and false ligatures are form ed, and ossification has taken place. It ought to have been attended to long ago.” But Christ the Burgeon seemed to prefer Inveterate cases. One was t hemorrhage of 12 years, and he stop ped It. Another was a curvature of 18 years, and he straightened It. Another was a cripple of 38 years, and he walked out well. The 18-year patient was a woman bent almost double. If you could call a convention of all the surgeons of all the centuries, their combined skill could not cure that body so drawn out of shape. Perhaps they might stop It getting any worse, iierhaps thej light contrive braces by which she might lie made more comfortable, but It is, humbly speaking, incurable. Yet this divine surgeon put both his hands on her, and from that doubled up posture she be gan to take on a healthier hue, and the muscles began to relax from their ri gidity, and the spinal column began to adjust itself, and the cords of the neck began to be more supple, and the eyes, that e uld see only the ground before, now lov.kcd Into the face of Christ with gratitude and up toward heaven in transport. Straight! After 18 weary and exhausl tg years, straight! The poise, the gr. efuluess, the beauty of healthy woma >’iood reinstated. For Ci onlc Illness. The 38 years’ ease was a man who lay on a mattress near the mineral baths at Jerusalem. There were five apartments where lame people were brought, so that they could get the advantage of these mineral ha hs. The stone basiu of the bath is silll visible, although the waters have disappeared, probably through some convulsion of nature. The bath, 120 feec long, 40 feet wide and 8 feet deep. Ah, itoor man. If you have been lame and helpless 38 years, that mineral bath cannot restore you. Why, 28 years Is more than the aver age of human life. Nothing but the grave will cure you But Christ the Surgeon walks aloin. these baths and I have no doubt passes by some pa tients who have been only six months disordered or a year or five years and oomes to the mattress of the man who had been nearly four .'cades helpless and to this 38 years’ Invalid said, "Wilt thou be made whole?” The question asked not because the surgeon did not understand the pro- traetedness, the desperateness, of the cast*, but to evoke tiie man’s pathetic narrative. “Wilt thou be made whole?” “Would you like to get well?” “Oh, yes,” says the man. “That Is what I came to these mineral baths for. I have tried everything. All the sur- geons have failed, and all the prescrip- tlons have proved valueless, and I got worse and worse, and I can neither move hand nor foot nor head. Oh, if I could only be free from this pain of 38 years!” Christ the Surgeon could not stand that. Bending over the man ou the mattress, and in a voice tender with all sympathy, but strong with all omnipotence, he says, “Bise!” And the invalid instantly scrambles to his knees and then puts out his right foot, then his left foot, and then stood up right ns though he had never been prostrated. While he stands looking at the doctor, with a Joy too much to hold, the doctor says: '‘Shoulder this mat tress, for you are not only well enough to walk, but well enough to work, and start out from these mineral baths. Take up thy bed and walk!” Oh, what a surgeon for chronic cases then and for chronic cases now! This is not applicable so much to those who are only a little hurt of sin and only for a short time, but to those prostrated of sin 12 years, 18 years, 38 years. Here is a surgeon able to give immortal health. “Oh.” you say, “I am so completely overthrown and tram pled down of slu that I cannot rise.” Are you flutter down than this patient at the mineral baths? No. Then rise. In tiie name of Jesus of Nazareth, the surgeon who offers you his right baud of help, I bid thee rise. Not eases of acute sin, but of chronic sin—those who have pot prayed for 38 years, those who have not been to church for 38 years, those who have been gam blers, or libertines, or thieves, or out laws, or blasphemers, or Infldels, or atheists, or nil these together, for 88 years. A Christ for exigencies! A Christ for a dead lift! A surgeon who never loses a case! Made the Blind to See. In speaking of Christ as a surgeon I must consider him iis an oculist or eye doctor and an mirist or ear doctor. Was there ever such another oculist? That he was particularly sorry for the blind folks I take from the fact that the most of his -works were with the diseased optic nerves. I have not time to count up the number of blind people mentioned who got his pure. Two blind men In one house; also one who was born blind; so that it was not ro* moval of a visual obstruction, but the creation of the cornea and ciliary mus cle and crystalline lens and retina and optic nerve and tear gland; also the blind pian pf Bothsaida, cured by the saliva which the surgeon took from the tip of fils own tongue and put upon the eyelids; also two blind men who sat by the wayside. In our civilized lauds we have blindness enough, the ratio fearfully Increasing, according to the statement of European and Ameri can oculists, beennsp df (be reading of morning and evening newspapers on (lie jolting cars by tiie multHiides who live out of (lie city and come in to busi ness. But in the lands where this di- vim* gurgeon operated the eases of hilndjicHH wen* tr.gJMpHed beyond ev erything by the particles of sand float ing in the air and the night dews fall ing ou tiie eyelids of those who slept on tin* top of their houses, and In some of these lands it is CNjimafoil that 2<> out ot Kit) people are totally blind. Amid ail that crowd of vislonless people, what work fop an oculist! Ami 1 do not believe that more than one out pf a hundred of that surgeon's cures was reported, lie went up and down among those |M>ople who were feeling slowly th<*lr way by staff, or led by the hand of man or rope of dog, and Introducing them to the faces of their own house hold, to the sunrise and the sunset and the evening star, lie just ran bis over the expressionless face, aud the shutters of Iwth windows were swung open, and the restored went home cry ing: “I seel I see! Thank God, I Bee!” That is the oculist we all need. Till he touches our eyes we ore blind. Yen, we were born blind. By nature we see things wrong, If we sec them at all. Our best eternal Interests are put be fore us, and we cannot see them. The glories of a loving and pardoning Christ are projected, and we do not be hold them. Or we have a defective sight which makes tiie things of this world larger than the things of the fu ture, time bigger than eternity. Or we are coldr blind and cannot see the dif ference lietween the blackness of dark ness forever and the roseate morning of an everlasting day. But Christ the Surgeon comes In, and though we shrink back afraid to have him touch us, yet he puts his Angers on the closed eyelids of the soul and midnight be comes midnoon, and we understand something of the Joy of the young man of the Bible who, though he had never liefore been able to see his hand before his face, now by the touch of Christ bad two headlights kindled under his brow, cried out in language that con founded the jeering crowd who were deriding the Christ that had effected the cure and wanted to make him out a bad man, “Whether he be a sinner or no I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now 1 see.” The Deaf Hear. But this surgeon was Just ns wonder ful as an aurist. Very few people have two good ears. Nine out of ten people are particular to get on this or that side of you when they sit or walk or ride with you, because they have one disabled ear. Many have both ears damaged, and what with the constant racket of our great cities aud the ca tarrhal troubles that sweep through the land, it is remarkable that there are any good ears at all. Most wonder ful-instrument Is the human ear. It is harp and drum and telegraph and tele phone and whispering gallery all in one. So delicate and wondrous is its construction that the most difficult of all things to reconstruct Is the auditory apparatus. The mightiest scientists have put their skill to Its rctunlng, and sometimes they stop the progress of its decadence or remove temporary ob structions, but not more than one real ly deaf ear out of 100,000 is ever cured. It took a God to make the ear, and it takes a God to mettd it. That makes me curious to see how Christ the Sur geon succeeds us an aurist. We are told of only two eases he op erated on ns an ear surgeon. His friend Peter, naturally high tempered, saw Christ insulted by a man by the name of Malchus, aud Peter let his sword fly, aiming at the man’s head, but the sword slipped and hewed off the outside ear, and our surgeon touch ed the laceration and another ear bloomed In the place of the one that had been slashed away. But it is not the outside ear that hears. That is only n funnel for gathering sound and pouring it into the hidden and more elaborate ear. On the beach of Lake Galilee our surgeon found a man deaf and dumb. The patient dwelt in per petual silence and was speechless. Ho could not hear a note of music or a clap of thunder. He could not call fa ther or mother or wife or children by name. What power can waken that dull tympanum or reach that chain of small bones or revive that auditory nerve or open the gate between the brain and the outside world? The sur geon put his Angers In tho deaf ears aud agitated them and kept on agitat ing them until the vibration gave vital energy to all the dead parts, and they responded, and when our surgeon with drew his fingers from the ears the two tunnels of sound were clear for all sweet voices of music and friendship. For the first time in his life he heard the dash of the waves of Galilee. Through the desert of painful silence had been built a king’s highway of res onance and acclamation. But yet he was dumb. No word had ever leaped over his Up. Speech was chained un der his tongue. Vocalization and ac centuation were to him an impossibil ity. He could express neither love nor Indignation nor worship. Our surgeon, having unbarred bis ear, will now un loose the shackle of his tongue. The surgeon will use the same Jlnimcnt or salve that he used on two occasions for the cure of blind people—namely, the moisture of his own mouth. The ap plication is ma'de, and lo, the rigidity of the dumb tongue Is relaxed, aud be tween the tongue and teeth was born a whole vocabulary and words flew In to expression. He not only heard, but he talked. One gate of his body swung In to let sound enter, and the other gate swung out to let sound depart. Why Is it that, while other surgeons used knives and forceps and probes and stethoscopes, this surgeon used on ly the ointment of his own lips? To |how that all the curative power we ever feel comes straight from CbHst. And if he touches us not we shall be deaf as a rock and dumb as a tomb. Ob, thou greatest of all artists, compel us to hear aud help us to speak I Free to All. But what were the surgeon’s fees for Mi) these cures of eyes and ears aud tongues and Withered hands and crook ed baokr? The skill and the painless ness of the operations were worth hundreds and thousands of dollars. Do not think that the cases he took were all moneyless. Did he not treat tiie no- hlepiRM’s son? Did he not doetor the ruler's daughter? Did he not effect o cure in the house of a oenturiun of great wealth who had out of his own pocket built a synagogue? They would have paid him large fees, and there were hundreds of wealthy people In Je rusalem and among the merchant cas tles ajong Lake Tiberias who wpuld have given this Burgeon bouses and lands and all they had for such cures us be could effect. For critical cases In our time great surgeons have received f 1,000, $3,000 and In one case I know of $&p,poo, but the surgeon of whom I speak received not a shekel, not a pen ny, not a farthing. In his whole earth ly life we know of his having had but U2*a cents. When his taxes were duo, by bis o(|inlsclence |ie k"CW pf a fish fn the sea which hud swallowed a piece of silver money, ns fish are apt to swal low anything bright, and he sent Deter with a hook which brought up that fish, and from Its mouth was extracted a Roman stater, or 02Mi cents, the only money he ever had, and that he paid out for tuxes. This greatest surgeon of all the centuries gave all his services • ken and offers all his services upw free of all charge. “Wirnonr mclsy and without price” you may spiritually have your blind eyes opened, and your deaf ears unbarred, and your dumb tongues loosened, and your wounds healed, and your soul saved. If Chris tian people get hurt of body, mind or soul, let them remember that surgery Is apt to hurt, but It cures, and you can afford present pain for future glory. Besides that, there are powerful ames- thetics In the divine promises that soothe and alleviate. No ether or chlo roform or cocaine ever made one so su perior to distress as a few drops of that magnificent anodyne: "All things Work together for good to those who love God.” “Weeping may endure for • night, but Joy cometh In the morning.” A Ulorloas Hay. What a grand thing for our poor hu man race when this surgeon shall have completed the treatment of the world’s wounds! The day will come when there will be no more hospitals, for there will be no more sick, aud no more eye and ear Infirmaries, for there will be no more blind or deaf, and no more deserts, for the round earth shall be brought under arboriculture, and no more blizzards or sunstrokes, for the atmosphere will be expurgated of scorch and chill, and no more war, for the swords shall come out of the foun dry bent Into pruning books, while in the heavenly country we shall see the victims of accident or malformation or hereditary ills on earth become the ath letes In Elyslan fields. Who is that man with such brilliant eyes close be fore the throne? Why, that is the man who, near Jericho, was blind and our surgeon cured his ophthalmia! Who is that erect and graceful and queenly woman before the throne? That was the one whom our surgeon found bent almost double and could In nowise lift up herself, and he made her straight Who Is that listening with such rap ture to the music of heaven, solo melt ing Into chorus, cymbal responding to trum|>et. and then himself joining In the anthem? Why, that Is the man whom our surgeon found deaf aud dumb on the beach of Galilee and by two touches o|>cned ear gate and mouth gate. Who is that around whom the crowds are gathering with admir ing looks and thanksgiving and cries of “Oh, what he did for me! Oh, what he did for my family! Ob, what be did for the world!” That Is the surgeon of all the centuries, the oculist, the aurist, the emancipator, the Saviour. No pay he took on earth. Come, now, and let all heaven pay him with worship that shall never end and a love that shall never die. On his head be all the crowns. In his hands be all the scepters and at his feet be all the worlds! (Copyright, 1900, by Louts Klopsch ] Clerk's Sales. ( Static or South ('akoi.ina, County or Oikuokkic. W. O.
