in the News and Courier an editorial
under the title, "A Wasteful

|I THE GOOD AND THE BAD. !
I One ought to balance the good ?
with the bad and also the length of i
! time a man has lived to form a true }
estimate of his character. Polybius,
. the Greek historian, says, "There is
? no reason why we should not some- , c
i times blame and sometimes com- v
mend the same person, for, as none f
is always right, neither is it probable ^
that he should be always wrong."

For the
Hair
Are you so fortunate as to
be well satisfied with your'
hair? Is it long enough,
thick enough, rich enough ?
And your hair does not fall
out ? Well, well, that is good.
But you may know of some
not so fortunate. Then jus*
tell them about Ayer's Hair
Vigor. They will surely thank
you after using it, if not before.
Remember, it does
not color the hair, Show
the list of ingredients to
your doctor. Let him decide
their value. He knows.
