Bleeding‘ at the Lungs Cured.

Seth W. Fowle, Esq—Dear Sir : Having been attack-
ed with hemorrhage of the lungs, which left me with
a. troublesome cough and the usual debility consequent
upon such an attack, and having cured myself by the
use of WISTARS B.-\L~‘A.\f OF WILD CHERRY, I feel it
a pleasure and a duty to testify to its merits. My gen-
eral faith in patent medicines is small; but for those
who are suffering under pulmonary attacts, I am per-
suaded that the Balsani is an excellent preparation.

Yours, very truly,

Ha1ghn’s Patent Harness.
HAT is the matter now? A Patent
Harness has come to town, and every
body wants it. I am happy to inform the
public that I have purchased the right to
manufacture and sell KAIGHN’S PATENT
HARNESS for the following territory, viz :
Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island and Long
Island, and am now prepared to supply all
who are in want of this article singly or by
the dozen.
This Harness will fit any carriage that has
a bent shaft attached to it. All who are in
want of a superior harness would do well to
give me a call. All this Harness wants is a
fair trial‘—it is better, safer and cheaper than
anything of the kind ever offered to the pub-
iic. Any person ,however unused to the bus-
iness, can harness a horse to a carriage with-
out any trouble with this Harness; indeed, he
cannot get it wrong, if done at all it must be
right.
Another great advantage in this Harness.
is, that in a hot day the horse is not covered
up with leather, as is the case with the old
style of Ilarness—and leather is expensive
about these days. Try this Harness one week
and if you don’t acknowledge that it is bet-
ter,che-aper and safer than any you have ever
used, then return it and you shall have your
money again. But I am confident that after
using it one week no person could buy it of
you for double its cost, if you could not get
another of the same style.
I am now selling these Harnesses as fast as
I can get them made. Shop Rights can be
purchased if desired. '

Gonstipat1on—Cause-Cure.

There is not, among the whole catalogue of Chronic

diseases, one concerning which I am so often written
to, and consulted. from every section of the United
States, and called upon to prescribe for, as Constipation
of the Bowels. It would seem to be the disease of the
country; and, like most other Chronic Diseases, I find
has been treated under a total misapprehension as re-
gards the truc cause of the disease. I will, in my adver-
tisement of this week, give what I conceive to be a. cor-
rect view of its causcs—a view, I am aware, that is
opposed by the great mass of the profession, but which
is strenuously advocated by a few—-and those few, from
their research and close study, stand at the head of
their profession—and from whom I am indebted to hav-
ing been converted from the old beaten track as laid
down in the books, and led to embrace my present belief.
With a view to making the matter intelligible to the
general reader (which is a very difilcult thing to do), I
shall endeavor to simplify the matter as much as possi
bie, in the hope that I may be followed without difilcuity.

Constipation is of two kinds, or perhaps I ought rather
to say, it arises from two and entirely dissimilar states

of the system, viz.: in those that are of a lean and
spare habit, and in those of is robust and healthy ap-
pearance. We will first take into consideration the
former, and the first question to be propoundod and
answered is:

Why are the bowels irregular as regards their action
—why do they not move with more regulm-ity and fre-
quency—why the deli: y in the fmcal matter being ejected?

For the very good reason that the natural stimulus
to action, or the contraction of the parieties oi‘ the
bowels upon their bowels is absent; they do not act,
because that which sets them in motion—that which
stimulates them to contraction, and the consequent ex-
pelling of their contents, is not present to bring about
this action or contraction.

What is this natural stimulus or exclter of the action
of the bowels? ’

Their contents, the frecal matter, and which must be
of a certain bulk, or some 5 or 6 ounces in weight, be-
fore it can become an exciter of the contraction of the
bowels. The reason. then, why no evacuation takes
place, why the bowels are irregular, is because there is
no fuzcal matter there to be expelled, and, of course, if
there is nothing there to be expelled, nothing can be
expelled. Fecal matter cannot be sent out of the
bowels, because it is not in them; it is not because the
bowels are unable to discharge their contents, but be-
cause they have no contents to dischar .

I said there was nothing, no fceca matter there;
there may be a. small quantity, and but a small quan-
tity—not enough, at any rate, from its bulk or weight,
to excite contraction; but as soon as some 5 or 6 ounces
are present in the bowels, their muscular coats will just
so certainly, by the weight of their contents, be stimu-
lated and forced into contraction and the expelling of
their contents, as the womb will at the end of nine
months, from the weight of its contents, expel the foetus,
or as the bladder will expel its contents when a certain
quantity shall have been secreted there. It is a law of
the" economy, and until there is sufilcient weight or
bulk within the intestines to stimulate them to con-
tract, there will be no evacuation, and of course no
evacoation is needed. .

At this point, I will take occasion to remark, that,
under this view of the cause of irregularity of the
bowels, one can readily see how perfectly ridiculous and
nonsensical, and how entirely useless, is the adminis-
tration o purgative medicines in Constipation. You
take pur tive or laxative medicines, and for what?
Why, to expel from the bowels that which is not there;
to force them to contract and expel, when there is
nothing to expel. Purgative medicines in Constipation
are not only useless, but very injurious, as we shall see,
and their administration is the height of empyricism.
Let the bowels alone until -the proper time arrives for
their evacuation, or until they need to be evacuated,
and rest assured they will perform their functions with-
out the help of any drugs. Let them alone, and when
the feces shall have accumulated to the amount of some
5 or 6 ounces, they will certainly contract upon and
expel their contents.

The next question in order is.

Why is not fecal matter present--why has it not been
with more regularity and with more frequency deposited,
so as to become an exciter to contraction of the bowels,
and the consequent expulsion of their contentr ?

For the reason, that as the feces are a true secretion
from the blood, and the patient, from his lean, lank,
lantern-jawed appearance, shows very plainly that be
has but very little biood inside of him, and what there
;s,_of the thinnest, poorest, and very meanest quality,
it is very easy to imagine that there will not be much
secretion; it is an impossibility that there should be
much, for the blood is not there out of which the fecal
secretions can be manufactured; the manufacturers are
ready to do the work—they are ready to manufacture
the fecal matter, but they are short of in:iterial—they
have nothing to work witi1——no material to work into
fecal matter. Like the cotton factory, where every
thing is ready to do the work, all the hands employed,
all the machinery in good order and ready for action.
but the spun thread is wanting—it isn’t to be had and
cannot be got, and the consequence is, no homespun
is made, as theie is nothing to make it out of. So it is
with the colon and rectum, the lower bowels;-they are
ready to manufacture and deposit the fecal secretion,
but good, rich blood, and a plenty of it, being wanting,
they are left without any material to work with, and of
course, not having this all-important secretion-—-the
blood—they cannot manufacture the secretion.

Now, I am aware that this doctrine of fecification is
at variance with a large moss of the proiession, and not
only the profession, but those out of it, and the latter,
as well as the former, regard the feces as the residuum
of the f'ood—as that portion of the food which is not
taken up by the circulation, and not needed for the
W of nourishing the body, or as the -refuse of the
foo a r all the nutritious part of it has been extracted;
but this is entirely a wrong idea, for the feces are as
true a secretion from the mucus membrane of the
colon, as is the gastric juice from the mucus membrane
of the stomach, or the saliva from the mucus membrane
of the glands of the mouth, or the teurs from the mucus
membrane of the iachrymal glands; and the amount of
secretion from either depends upon the quantity and
quality of blood distributed to them; and so of the
colon, the amount of secretion from its mucus mem-
brane, that is, the quantity of feces that is deposited in
the bowels depends upon the quantity of blood distri-
buted to that membrane. The books, I am aware,
teach a very different doctrine; but because Dr. this
one, or Dr. that one, says so in his book, is no reason
of its beidg true. Other Dsctors, in their books, say
differently, and when Doctors disagree, who shall decide?
The books say, and it [s the generally received opinion
among the professson, that after the food passes into
the stomach, it is, by the muscular action of the stom-
ach, rolled and tumbled about until it becomes a soft,
homogeneous mass, and then it is passed forward into
the upper portion of the bowels, called the duodenum,
where a portion or part is extracted or separated for
purposes of nutrition, called chile, and which is taken
up by the small tubular vessels called lactaels, and car-
ried into the circulation for the purposes of nourishing
the body; the other portion becoming useless after the
chile is extrected from it, it is sent forward through the
bowels and expelled. Now, instead of a part only of
this mass being prepared and taken into the circulation,
the whole of it is in health taken up. Now let us see
about this—-let us see ifa part only is taken and carried
into the circulation. How much ih weight does a per-
son in health eat at a meal? Say two pounds; three
meals a day wguid make six pounds that he has taken
into his stomach. Now, according to the books, a part
of this, say one-half, is taken up and carried into the
circulation; the other half, then, according to our cal-
culation would be one pound left in the bowels after
each meal, or three pounds a day, to be carried forward
and expelged at the lower portion of the bowels. Now,
bear in mind, that there is each day three pounds of
deoss or residuum of the food that is not needed for the
nutrition of the body, and is carried on through tne
bowels to be expelled. Now suppose this man happened
to be troubled with Constipation of the bowels, and
should have no discharge from the bowels for one week,
ii. very frequent occurrence with dyspeptics and others
troubled with Constipation. I have known persons to
go three weeks without having any operation, and there
are cases on record where patients have gone six and
twelve months without having had a stool. Now, at
the end of one week this constipated patient would, ac-
cording to our calculation. be carrying about him, in
his bowels, 21 pounds of fecal matter; at the end of two
weeks, he would carry about with him 42 pounds; at
the end of three weeks, 63 pounds; and in the case of
those I have alluded to as going six and twelve months
without stool, one would carry 546 pounds, and the
other 1092 pounds. What an absurd idea, that a per-
son should carry about with him a thousand pounds,
or the half of it, of fecal matter, or even 63, or 4 or
21 pounds. Suppose the patient, at the end of the first
week, who is supposed to have 21 pounds in store. is
weighed, how much more will he actually weigh ? Will
he weigh 21 more ‘I’ No. Will he weigh the half of it,
or 5 pounds, or 1 pound? No; not one half-ounce
more; and the great probability is, that he will not even
weigh as much as he did the week previous. What has
become of the 21 pounds of refuse matter? That’s a
question much easier asked than answered, if we stick
to the old doctrine as laid down in the books. I'll tell
you what has become of it: the whole of the food was
taken up and carried into the circulation, and a good
portion has passed through the bladder in the form of
urine, and through the pores of the skin in the form of
iuseusible perspiration.

It has come under the observation of almost every
one, that a patient laboring under acute disease, where
no solid food has been taken for weeks, yet the stools
are as well formed and copious as ever; and, in fact,
this same patient may have, at the commencement of
his diseas, taken strong and purgative medicine, which
expelled every particle of fecal matter, and before taking
any nourishment, with the exception perhaps of a little
tea, he hes had other stools almost as copious and of as
much consistence as the first. This, of course, could
not have been the residuum of the food, for the patient
had taken none. Patients With lock-jaw, where it was
an impossibility for them to take any thing for days
and weeks in the shape of nourishment, except liquid,
and that-of the thin nest kind, yet have a daily exacua-
tion of the usual consistence. Patients suffering from
cancer in the mouth, that prdcluded the possibility of
takihg any kind of nourishment by the month, have
been nourished and kept alive by enemas, yet they have
stoois of more or less cousistenc-. Where could this
focal master come from? Certainly not from the food I

Again, persons subject to Constipation generally have
good, and sometimes enormous appetites, and eat large
quantities, yet have a movement of the bowels very
seldom, and then very small in quantity- if it be re-
tained in the bowels, of course there would be a pro-
tuberance there, giving evidence that there was a quan-
tity of matter lodged there; but, on the contrary, in-
stead of there being any protuberance there, consti-
pated persons always have exceedingly flat bellies; aul
moreover, if there was a quantity of matter lodged
there, the patient would weigh more; but he does‘ not
weigh one half-ounce more than he did at the last move-
ment of his bowels.

As an argument against this doctrine, it may be said
that particles of food, seeds, skins of dried fruit, cherry
stones, &c., are found in the stools. This, however, is
no argument against it, for they are found there either
because they escape the action of the gastric juice, or
it was impossible for the gastric juice to dissolve them.
If a man swallow a cannon ball, I would not expect it

o be dissolved by the gastric juice, or prepared by the
=‘ h for its reception into the circulation. If a per-
son swallow a penny or a cherry stone, it is bound to
go through them, for the gastric juice will not dis-
solve it-

Now, what I conceive to be about the right view of
shis whole matter is thls:—Tlie food, and the whole of
it, is, by the muscular action of the stomach, converted
intoa soft, homogeneous mass, and then it is passed
along into the upper bowels, called the duodenum, on
the sides of which are a great number of littla orifices,
which are mouths of small vessels or tubes called lac-
teals. whose ofiice is to take up this food now called
chile, and carry it along and discharge it into a large
vein, and by which it is carried to the heart; from the
heart it is forced into the lunfllv when, by , in
contact with the atmosphere, it is converted into good
healthy red blood, and now fit (but not previously) for
the purpose of nutrition. It now being made into g
red blood, is brought back by large veins to the heart
again, from whence it is again propelled into the large
arteries and distributed to every portion of the system.
The blood, passing on through these arteries, is received
into another set of vessels of the very smallest calibre,
called capillary vault, and which are in every tissue of
the body, and so numerous that the point of 3 email
needle cannot enter the skin without piercing them.

Now, in these minute vessels the great functions of
nutrition and secretion are earned on, or. in other words,
the depositing of all the solids,_ such as bone, sinew,
muscle, nails, this is nutrgtum ,- while_the deposit-
ing of the liquids, such as bile, gastric juice, saliva,
ears, &c., is called .Mfl'!f|0Yl. Every particle of the
solids and liquids of the body are separated and depos-
ited from the blood by these small vessels; but bear in
mind that these deposits of made only for A short
time. As almost every one is aware, there is a con-
stant change going on in the system-old solids are
being broken down and taken away, and new deposited
in their place. We have already seen how new matter
is deposited. Now, old matter, after it has become the
worse for wear, becomes broken down, worn out, use-
less and it must in some way be revivified, enlivened,
ma e new again. The commencement of this work is
accomplished by vessels called add»-bent -

cle, mucus, bile, saliva, &c., is deposited. rc»cu-culatcd,
and re-deposited again and again. This is true of a.
good portion of each. but not all, for there is a portion
of each, after it has been taken up by the absorbent
vessels, that cannotbe revivified—-that cannot be en-
livened or made into good blood again; and now what
is done with this that is of no further use to the system ?
It is carried out of the system by 0 set of secreting ves-
sels made for that purpose. And howl’ By three dif-
ferent channels, viz.: throuyh the kidneys, by the se-
cretion of urine; through the skin, in the form of in-
sensgble perspiration; and through the lower bowels, by
the secretion of fecal matter.

Thus, it will be seen that the fecal matter, instead of
being the residuum of the food, is the dross or broken
down matter, which, being no longer of any use to the
system, is sent out of the system through the secreting
vessels of the mucus membrane of the lower bowels.
This is one of the channels by which the blood is rid of
these matters, the retention of which would not only
leave no room for the admission of new blood, made
from chile, which is constantly being formed, but would
vitiate the blood, and clog the wheels of life. So essen-
tial is the eliminating of these matters no longer of any
use for the purposes of nourishing the body, that when
one of these channels, from any cause, ceases to secrete.-
or does so imperfectly, one of the other channels, or
both, will perform double duty. For instance, when
the lower bowels do not secrete their propnrtionatr
share in the form of fecal matter, there is always _a
much larger flow of urine, and with a greater disposi-
tion to perspiration. In cold weather, as every one
knows, the fiow of urine is always greater than it is In
warm; and it is because the skin becomes shrunk and
shriveled up from the cold, which closes the capillary
vessels of the skin; and there are cases on record, where
the mucus membrane of the colon failing to secrete the
feces, the skin has been made the point of elimination
to a most disgusting extent.

Now, from what has been said, I think the reader
will discover that the feces areas true a secretion from
the blood as is the saliva, bile, gastric juice, &c., and
it should be borne in mind that the amount of secretion
of feces depends upon the amount of blood sent to the
mucus membrane of the lower bowels; if there is but
little blood sent there, very little secretion can take
place from it; but if the patient be in good health, and
possess a supply of rich, red blood, he will, about every
24 hours, have secreted some 5 or 6 ounces of fecal
matter, and this quantity being present, will excite the
bowels to contract and discharge their contents.

As , w‘olesome and substantial food makes good,
rich blood, and a plenty of it for every secretion in the
body to carry on its functions, and as we also know
that every constipated person has not only a craving.
and ravenous appetite, but gratifies it, the next ques-
tion, and the last one, is:

As the feces are a true secretion from the blood, and
as the amount of secretion depends upon the quantity
of blood distributed to the mucus membrane of the
colon, and as there is no lack of appetite, or withhold-
ing of good and substantial food, which makes blood in
abundance,-—why is the patient almost bloodless, and
for this reason constipated?

Because of congestion of the stmnach or upper bowels,
which unfits those organs from taking up the food and
preparing it in a proper manner for the circulation.
(How congestion of the stomach and upper bowels pre-
vents the taking up of the food and preparing it for the
circulation, I shall explain in my next advertisement.
and which will be for the benefit of the ladies, especially
the young ladies, who regard a fine figure and form of
any COIISIdeI'utIOII.) Thus we see that the cause, and
the only cause, of constipation of the bowels, lies in
disease of the stomach and upper bowels.

Now, instead of constipation always occurring in
those who are thin in flesh, and having but little blood
inside of them, it sometimes occurs in those of a full
and plethoric habit. The cause of the constipation in
these cases in not the want of good blood in the system,
but from its unequal ilislrflmtim through the body-
some organs are overloaded and goi-god with blood,
which, of course, takes it from other organs, and leaves
them almost in a bloodless state. When constipation
oecurs in those of a full plethoric habit, it is from con-
gestion of the stomach, The stomach has an undue
quantity of blood sent to it, and for which reason the
mucus membrane of the colon is left in the same blood-
in the same bloodless state as though there was a want
of blood through the entire system.

From the above, it is no very hard matter to discover
that the oxhibition of purgatives or even laxative med-
mines, in constipation, is most absurd and entiael y use-
less; nor is this all, for their exhibition is positively in-
jurious, and very much so,—for, by their exhibition, a
prcvruuure discharge from the bowels is caused, and a
forced secretion of the blood, which must, to a certainty,
still further reduce an already weakened and debilitated
system. We readily can see that there is not a particle
of blood to spare, yet the exhibition of purgatives not
only sends the blood to the lower bowels, and, so doing,
draws it away from the more vital organs, organs of
nutrition, and which must have all the blood there is
for the purposes of nutrition, or nourishing the system;
and it not only does this, but, after forcing it to the
bowels, the blood is forced to secrete more or less of
mucus or fecal matter, and, by so doing, is still further
impoverished, and, by this loss from the blood, the
organs of nutrition are deprived still more of the pre-
cious liquid for nourishing the body, and the system,
from the lack of the material by which it is noui-ished.
becomes still farther reduced and debilitated. Now,
from this premature discharge from the howels—from
this still farther taking from. reducing, and impoverish-
ing the blood, and thereby causing a diminution of un-
trition—-we can readily see why the constipation is still
more obstinate after such a premature discharge, caused’
by taking purgative medicines (for it is the experience
of every one, that, after taking purgative medicfnes,
they are not only no better oil‘, but the constipation is
even still more obstinate); it is because the blood,
which is the parent of this and all other secretions. has
been still farther impoverished, exhausted, and reduced
by the discharge than it was previous to it, and which
has so much reduced them that secretio of fecal mat-
ter was very small in quantity—-so sinal that several
days, perhaps, would elapse before the requisite quan-
tity, viz.: 5 or 6 ounces, would be present to excite
contraction of the bowels and the cxpuision of their
contents.

And now, in conclusion, we find that the whole trou-
ble lies not in the lower bowels, but in the digestiev
organs, and to effect a cure of this formidable malady,
a well directed treatment tc these organs, and these
organs alone, mast be resorted to, and remedial agents
selected and made use of with the greatest care and
caution. As a remedy for this disease, I uuliesitatingly
recommend the remedy known as BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC
REMEDY. It is a sovereign remedy in this affection,
and will not fail of effecting a cure if directions are
complied with. It will not cure at once: it would be
foolish to expect it, or of any other medical preparation;
tqe system must have time to recruit its worn out and
exhausted powers. This remedy will enable the stom-
ach to prepare the food for the circulation, from which
good, healthy and rich red blood will be made, and by
which latter the function of nutrition will be carried on,
and through which function the enfeebied system will
become buoyed up and strengthened, and the secretions
of saliva, gastric juice, bile, urine, and of fecal matter
from the lower bowels, will take place in good and suf-
ficient quantities. _ ,
If you commence with the remedy, do so with the
determination to follow it up. and act closely up to all
directions, or not take it at all. If you do take it, and
follow out all the directions. you may rest assured it
will cure, I care not of how long duration or standing,
or how obstinate it has heretofore proved, it will not
fail if taken properly. W. W. BLISS.

Since writing the above, I have received a letter
from a gentleman in Mcllinn County, 'l'enn.. consulting
me as regards his disease, Constipation of the Bowels,
and among other things says he has a keen. ravenous
appetite, whicn he can scarce satisfy, although he eats
large quantities; and he also states that “ he had not
had a passage of the bowels for four weeks.” Now, it
strikes me, that if the old doctrine of the feces be true,
as laid down the books, the old gentleman must, about
now, begin to weigh “ right smart.”

For the above diseases it has had the test
of years in the successful application to dis-
ease, and will not fail in effcting speedy and
permanent cures, providing the directions are
closely followed. This is no qack nostrum
got up to gull the people and fleece them out
of their money, but a preparation the formula
for which was placed in the hands of the pro-
prietors by eminent Physicians who desired a
reliable and convenient preparation for their
practice. No long course‘ of treatment is nec-
essary with this remedy to ascertain its vir-
tues ; a single bottle if taken regularly will
show to the patient, that all that has been said
of its virtues is strictly true. The Medicine
can be obtained at all resepectable Drug
Stores and of most country Merchants.

Dr. Sanford’s Invigorator,

on LJVR REMEDY!
HIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ’l'.II-‘IC MEDI-
cal discoveries ever made, and is daily working
cures almost too great to beheve. It cures as if by mag-
ic even thcfirst dosegiving benefit, and seldom

plaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a com-
mon head ache, all of which are the result of a '
Liver.

s3m29

The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the hu-
man body, and when it performs its functions well, the
powers of the system are fully developed. l‘lie stomach
is almost entirely dependent on the healthy action of
the Liver for the proper performance of its functions.-
When the stomach is at fault, the bowels are at fault;
and the whole system suffers in consequence of one tog-
gan—the Liver—having ceased to do its dufY- Fm‘ de

Bilious attacks yield readily to one bpttle, and Chron-

For Dyspepsia or Jaundice, nothing in the known
world acts so fully or cures so quickly as the Invigora-

For Night Mare, take a. dose batons

For Female Obstructions it is a safe and sure remedy,
as it removes the cause of the disease. _ _

Costiveness cannot exist where the Invigorator is free-
ly taken, while Cholic yields readily to a few doses.

It must be known that all these are Liner diseases, or
caused by a deranged Liver, and to cure them ne_eds a.
Livua medicine and one of great power. The Invigora-
tor is such a medicine ; it has medicinal powers, never
before discovered, that will cure all diseases of the Liver
no matter of how long standing or what may be their
form. The active medicinal virtues extracted from the
gums used is such as to be astonishing _to all who see
their effects, for none can use the medicine without re-
ceiving benefit. It acts as a_ gentle Catliai-tic, and
should always be taken in sufilcient quantities to oper-
Me on the bnwnla gently. The best way to take it is to
take the medicine in the month, then take some water
and swallow both together. In this way the medicine
will scarcely be tall-00- _

A Great Discovery.
0 A '.l!.' A. B E. E ,

SO long deemed incurable, so little under-
stood by Physicians and medical writers,
has at last yielded and been vanquished by
medical skill.

Dr. R. GOODALL a Physician of 40 years
practice, has discovered a positive and rod!-
cal cure for Catarrh in its worst form. With-
out disparaging the abilities and researches
of the profession, he does claim that longin-
vestigation and careful experiments, have in-
vested him with a. knowledge of the charac-
ter,location, and results of this neglected
disease, and directed him to apply a remed
hitherto overlooked to counteract and end -
cate it efiectually.

This he has done and he now ofi'e1-sit to the
world, and challenges the most inveterate
cases to its test He has opened an ofilco at
385 Broadway, N. Y., for consultation and for
sale of the Remedy, which is in fluid form.

PROFESSOR o. J. WO0D’S
[1 AIR RESTORATIVE,
For Producing Hair on Bald Heads,
AND RI-STORING cnsv HAIR -ro ITSNATURAL count

313 astonishing and unequalled preparation has
T never failed to produce a growth on Bald Heads,
when used according to the directions, and turn hair
back to its original color after having become gray and
reinstate it in all its original health, lustre, softness
ond beauty. Removes at once all scarf, dandruff, and
unpleasant itching, sci-ofula, eruptions and feverish
heat from the scalp. ‘It also prevents the hair from be-
coming unhealthy and falling off, and nence acts as I.
perfect Hair Invigerator and Tonic.

A gentleman of Boston writes to his friend in New
Bedford thus :

To your inquiries, I would reply, that when I first
commenced using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative,
my hair was almost white, and had been so for the last
ten years, and it was very thin on the top of my herd,
and very loose, and pulled out freely, but I found that
before I had used all the second bottle, (which was eight
weeks? my hair was entirely changed to its original
color, ight brown, and is now free from dandrnfi and
quite moist. I have had my hair out five or six time:
since the change, and have never seen anything liko
white hair starting from the roots, and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It
has proved in my case all this I could wish to ask.

Juu 1, 1855. , Yours, etc.,

From the Boston Herald.

Soini-rruxo WORTH Kxowma.--By using Professor
Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray hair can be permanently
restored to its original color. The snbjoined certificate
from Johnson 5: Stone, Gardiner, Maine, is but one of
the many instances that are daily coming to our knowl-
edge, of its wonderful efiects. It is no longer proble-
matical. but a self evident truth, as hundreds in our
community can testify.

G-ABDINKR, Maine, June 22, 1855!

Dear Sir, I have used two bottles of Professor Wood's
Hair Restorative, and can truly say it is the greatest
discovery of the age for restoring and changing the
hair. Before using it, I was a man of seventy. My
hair has now attained its original color. You can rec-
ommend it to the world without the least fear, as my
case was one of the worst kind. -

Yours, respectfully, D N HY

Bxooxrinn Mass., Jan. 1855.
Dear Sir, Having made a trial of your Hair ton-
tive, it gives me pleasure to say that its effect hoebooll
excellent in removing inflammation, dandruff, and I.
constant itching‘ tendency with which I have been
troubled from childhood, and has also restored my hair
weich was becoming gray, to its original color. I have
used no other article with anything like the lesson
and profit. Yours truly J. K. B CG.
Pastor of the Orthodox Church, Brookfiold.
Professor Wood.

From the Missouri Democrat

WO0D’S Ham Dn.—-This admirable article is rapid!
improving the hair. No article of a. similar kind, now
before the public, enjoys a better reputation as I resto-
rative add invigorating hair tonic. Its peculiar enem-
icafqualities have a beneficial effect upon the growth
and characger of the hair, giving a silky and glouy
texture to that whlth was formeqy of a coarse and dry
nature. It has, also we understand, 3 tondcnc to
preserve the youthful color and appearance of the ,
and destroying or counteracting the effects of age.-
Witlnrecommendations in its favor, we hardly perceive
how any lady or gentleman should be without I0 valu-
able an adjunct to their toilet.
