OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
V ,. -
Oregon City, Oregon ,
Friday : : : Juno 16, 1371.
The Second Year-
Ye this week commence our second year
as editor and proprietor of the ExTKni-itisE.
Our success has been beyond our most
sanguine expectation, and the paper is on
a good basis. It has steadily increased in
subscription and advertising and we have
no besitency in saying that there is not a
paper in Oregon on a better basis. We
are thankful to our friends for their liberal
support, and hope that we have been de
serving of the same, and that others may
be added to our list. Within the next,
two or three weeks we propose to dress
our paper in new type. We shall aim to
make the ExTEitruis; an interesting and
readable local paper and shall spare no
trouble to succeed in that object. We
think it the duty of every citizen in the
county to support the local paper, but it
is only single justice for the members of
the political pat ty in whose behalf it is
ofighting to give it their aid. We shall not
attempt to please everybody. That we
have long since learned to be impossible.
We propose to make the Estkri'klsu: a
free and independent Democratic paper,
riot controlled by cliques or aspirants, and
ready to condemn wrong and uphold the
right. We hope every Democrat in
this county will take the paper during the
next year, as there are two elections t
come off Presidential and Stale within
the next fifteen months, and every Dem
ocrat needs his local paper. We desire
to double our list within the next twelve
months. The ExTicni'iiisi: is only 2 .j)
per annum, for single subscribers, and to
offer an inducement to those who may de
sire to send a paper to their friends in ti e
Easi, we will make this proposition, to
charge $-1 50 where a person subscribes
Jor two copies. We hone many of our
friends will avail themselves ol this prop
osition. We also make this oiler to clubs;
Five copies for 12 50, and an extra
copy to the getter up of the club ; Ten
copies, $22, and an an extra copy to the
getter up of the club. This 'makes the
'-Kntkkvki.se the cheapest paper in Oregon.
We hope our friends will exert themselves
to extend the circulation. anJ see that the
paper is in every Democratic house
this county within the next year.

The Detroit Free 1'rss well remarks
that a government of force is the favorite
idea of the present dominant party.
They lose sight (I the fact that ours is a
G government of opinion that it is depend
ent uon the popular will lor its very ex-
q istence. This is in consequence of their
distrust of the intelligence and patriotism
of the people. They do not believe in the
ability of the masses lor self-government.
They have arrived at the old monarchical
idea that society is divided into two
classes the rulers and the ruhd. They
are the rulers and tii3 people are the ruled.
If the people will not obey their demands
upon them, they must be made to.
If the people will not vote the Radical
ticket from choice, they must be made to
by force. It is this outrageous idea that
furnishes an apolegy for the bayonet and
force bills which have found saneiion at
the hands of Congress. They are ex
tended as a means to enable the few to
rule over and manage the many. They
are based upon the assumption that the
people are imeompetent to govern them
Belve, and that the strong arm of mil
O itary power must be used to protect the
government from the v iolence and indis
creet action of the people. This is the
Kadical idea as embodied in their entire
Congressional policy. It assumes that the
-leaders of that party know beat what
they want, and that the people must
acquiesce in that assumption.
Thk Om.y Amu'MKvr. The only argu
ment we have heard in favor of the " new
departure"' doctrine is, that ''slavery is
no longer an issue and we may. as well
acknowledge the fact." Nobody but an
ass desires to make an issue on that part
of the infamous amendments. No one
wishes to re-establish slavery. 1 hat ques
tion has been a dead issue" for the past
fdx or eight years. The Democratic party
(bas never been the slavery advocate,
holding that it was a m ltter which belong
ed, to the States as far as the freedom of
the negro is concerned, only denounce
the outrageous and villianous manner by
cvrhich it was accomplished. The idea
Gthat Democrats ever proposed to re-
enslave the negro again is a Radical
hobby to freightea their weak-minded
followers.
Don't En nous h. The Butler county
Democrat, heretofore Yalianuigham's per-
sdnal organ, repudiates him in the follow
ing emphatic manner :
" These new 'Departure Democrats' are
sorely in need of straight jackets ; they
are snreH" demented gone crazy. Their
'new departure1 has carried them into
such deep water that they will all drown,
and no one will care much if the waves
of oblivion will roll over them forever
and forever. Why should these 'new de
parture men" now throw a bomb-shell to
distract the party. We have been steadiiy
gaiuing in all the States since 16C.. We
should have swept the country at no dis
tant period. This last piece of folly will
lose us ten Democrats v, here it will gain
U3 one Republican."
The I'laindeahr after reviewing the
Ohio resolutions i;i the most favorable
light possible, in a column and a half ar
ticle, conies to the following conclusions,
in which we concur :
The nomination i f General MeCook for
Governor was in character with the fust
and second resolutions, nil was no doubt
mado from motives of policy. I', may be
necessary, in order to carry Ohio, to re
sort to trimming of this character : but
our reading of the political history of our
country has taught us that an open, manly
appeal to the people to defend their rights,
always meets a ready response and rallies
to the cause a positive strength which
commands success ; while a struggle for
flower, based upon undefined principles,
create no enthusiasm and generally meets
with the defeat it merits.
The Albany Democrat, Eugene Guard,
lloeeburg PUmdeaier and East Portland
Democratic Era ccnie out emphatic in
condemnation of the Ohio platform. We
have not seen the views of the Mercury,
and olher Democratic papers of the State
on this subject, excepting th.? Herald,
which accepts the situation" anj ;3 tllns
lar the ouly Democratic paper in Oregon
fvhich has.
How it was Done
Sir John Ptose, of Canada, an astute,
prompt, and energetic public man, says
the Patriot, appeared here suddenly last
winter, and in a quiet and thoroughly
practical way, soon sounded the shallow
depths of this Administration. He talked
to the President, to Mr. Fish, to Mr. Bout
well, and to others, each in the vein best
adapted to his peculiarity, and discovered
exactly what could be accomplished in
the way of a negotiation. Of course, he
professed an earnest desire for peace ; a
deep affection for the United States : a
profound admiration for everybody in
power, and particularly for "Ili.s Excel
lency"' in the White House, and his Secre
tary of State. The bargain was made
then and there, and before Sir John left
Washington, he had the satisfaction of
knowing that the llih Commission was
agreed upon, and the terms substantially
defined on boih sides. He was offered the
place of Comissioner, but declined, and
was substituted by Sir John MacDonald.
It he did not actually promise to place
Mr. IJoutwell's new loan on the English
market, he certainly encouraged an idea,
which, like some other great expectations,
has failed.
Sir John Rose went to England, and
the High Comissioners. whom everbody
has seen or heard of, came here. They
were appointed for an object, and it has
been attained. I nstead of carping at them.
thee gentlemen are entitled to every
credit, as sharp-witted, able, keen, and
well-bred diplomatists, who upon our own
soil, with every prejudice against them,
representing a bad cause, and with the
gravest embarrassments to confront, con
quered every obstacle, and achieved a
success which may be described as mar
vellous. It is rue their adversaries were
feeble and comparatively inexperienced;
but even with this disadvantage, there
stood the unanimous rejection of the Johnson-Clarendon
Treaty ; the fulminatiou of
Mr. Saiueer; the -new departure" of Mr.
Motley ; the peppery despatches of Mr.
Fish, and the distinct, broad, and belliger
ent committals of the President, in two
successive annual messages, and one of
them not four months old, when the Com
missioners arrived.
These were grave and imposing ob
stacles, but they did not deter the cour
ageous Commissioners. They proceeded
calmly and calculatingly. in less than
ten days they knew the history cf every
man in public life, his strength, (if he had
any.) his weakness, and everything about
him. All officials that might be' useful,
directly or indirectly, were noted, and
outsiders of every description came within
the category ol observation of painstaking
agents and workers. Society in all its re
cesses was explored and utilized, and
emissaries of all shades ol poliiics were
scattered through the highways and by
ways to gather informal ion anil to concili
ate opinion. The press was specially con
sidered as a power, and the utmost pains
taken far and near, to secure its influence,
or at least its neutrality. This explana
tion may serve to open the eyes of those
who have not been able to understand the
course oi newpapers in various localities.
The ablest counsel in various cities were
employed on their own terms, and Wash
ington would have been flooded with
opmions as is opinions'' had they been
needed. Not a point was neglected by
which their object could be promoted,
however trilling or indifferent it might
seem to be.
It is to be said of the British Commis-
si'UK'is. that their sagacity ami untiring j
industry deserved success. They Itborel
tor it most zealously, from the first to the
last moment. Their pioceedings were
daily tratimitted to the Foreign Office, no
matter what might be the engagement, be
fore they sat down to dinner, so that the
evening could be free for society, where
every hour was pi ofitably employed, un
consciously to those wiio were charmed
with the presence of nobility, good breed
ing, and affable manners. Our English
friends meant business when they came
here, and business was never fr'-,"u ten in

j most lnngn.hcatit guest. Tliey

Here is the way the tax-payers of Louis

The debt, of the State iti li-(.;," was about
$.",000,)00. It is now $10.-1 1;.7(53. in
cluding the -'accruing debt," which con

canal and other jobs. If we compare the
population and wealth cf Louisiana with
thos3 of the State of New York, this debt,
would represent with us the enormous
sum of 8800,000 COO. Suppose our debt
had been run tip from its present propor
tions to the figure just named, how long
would wo suffer the rule of the men who
did it without flying to arms? Would we

nhi
icallv described by a New
1 Orleans correspondent of the SnriiWieid
7V publican, the leading Radical paper in
Massachusetts :
A more contemptible, disreputable, low
down, oppressive government than that
of Lousisina never before polluted human
records. It has not a decent aspect or re
deeming feature, and as revolutions do
not move backward, I see no prospect of
favorable change at present. I have faith
hi my people sufficiently strong to believe
that if the body of men called a Legisla
ture, just adjourned in this State, had done
to the people of Massachusetts what they
did to Louisiana, they would never left
Boston alive.
Gr.An to liKAU it. The Mercury of the
10th inst. says :
The Exteuviuse says the I&rahl is the
only paper that endorses the Ohio plat
form. This is a mistake. The Benton
Democrat very emphatically endorsed
Yallandighanfs views, while the Mercury
fore shadowed its aversion over a month
since to making the amendments an issue
ia our platforms.
We hope our friends who are so anxious
to give Yallandigham the credit of this
'New Departure" will make the correc
tion and give "credit to whom credit is
due." It was the editor of the Mercunj
who took the forward step, and Ohio fol
lowed his counsel. It is something to be
proud of that Oregon has the man who
advanced the idea for th Ohio platform.
It is needless to say that the editor of the
Mercury got his start in Yamhill. All
great men get their start there.
With a very few exceptions, we find
the Democrats who are willing to accept
the Ohio platform are of the kind who
have voted the Radical ticket for eight
years out of the last ten, and who now
expect to get an office should the Democ
racy get into Dower.
The Vallandighaifc Resolutions.
"We are in receipt of Democratic papers
from the east, and as a general rule, we
find them a unit against the new depar
ture.'' The Ottumwa Democrat thus
speaks its opinion :
These resolutions are farmiliarly known
throughout the country as the Demo
cratic New Departure.'' In other words,
it is a new set of principles and a new
policy which the Democracy is expected
to embrace.
We cannot subscribe to this " New De
parture." Keud over the resolutions carefully and
you must either come to the conclusion
that they are false and hypocritical in
their tone or else they virtually acknowl
edge that Democracy has been wrong all
the time and Radicalism right all the time.
We are quite familiar with the reply
which trimmers and time-servers will be
ready to greet us. Our ears have become
weary during the last few months with
this well learned but idiotic expression
" We must no longer fight " accomplished
facts, but make the battle on living issues.'
The enemies of Democracy could not
have invented a catch-word which has
been fraught with more evil.
If the code of morality is to be so
changed that when Evil accomplishes its
purpose, we are no longer to fight that
Wrong, but accept it as accomplished
and cease all opposition to its influences,
then may we b gin to believe that the
time has come w hen the Devil is turned
loose for a little season."
Wrong is wrong ! what was right tan
years ago is right now, and w hat was
wrong then should be condemned now!
Men may change, but principles are
immortal J
Vallajdigham may be ready to write
himself down a demagogue but the doc
trines of Democracy are imperishable !
He may construct a platform to suit his
easy conscience but Democrats are under
no obligations to swallow; on the con
trary their honesty forbids them to wander
after strange gods or endorse false philos
ophy. Speaking in behalf ol the true Jefler
soniau Democracy of the country we say
that no matter who recommends or favors
this ' New Departure" we will not ac
cept any of the infamous Amendments as
part and parcel of the Constitution. They
were forced upon the country through
fraud and crammed down our throats
by Grant's bayonets. Cur Conventions
have heretofore dt
tionary acts and
uoncced these revolu
our conventions then
were right.
We shall neither go back on our sol
emn assertions, or give the Radicals room
to say : " You acknowledge that you lied
then are you sure that you are in
earnest now 1"
Don't Endorse It.
The East Portland Era has the follow
ing sensible remarks in relation to the
Ohio Platform,, which we most heartily
endorse :
We never have believed and can never
be made to admit that the three iccent (so
called) amendments to
do not in anv respect u
the Constitution
te.r or i,v;di;'ii Ihv
original lieary and eh-1 racier of the Federal
Government.
However
anions the
mode of adoption, we admit that these
amendments are a part of the law of the
hu . an 1 must, be obeyed until altered,
ai : : mded or repealed ; 'but wo cannot, go
b;ck upon our record and now say thai all
out former opposition to their adoption
was simply fae ions. The Fifteen Ih
Amendments sti uck a fatal blow at the
great cardinal Democratic doctrine of
State Rights, which we have always be
lieved to be "the original th-ory and char
acter of the Federal Government' and
we are not prepared to give up the idea
and ignore its truth. We have never
counseled nullification mr secession, but
hold to the doctrine that the people of the
Government have the right to alter, amend
or even change the form ot government
at pleasure, provided always that such al
teration or modification shall be made in
accordance with the fundamental com
pact.
'1 he fourth resolution in the Ohio plat
form ''declares opposition to the attempts
at centralization by the General Govern
ment." tte. How this resolution can be
reconciled with the first, which says the
"last three amendments to the Constitu
tion are no longer political issues before
the people." is not quite clear to us. We
have seen no other attempt by the Gener
al (Jo c ruiiHjiL unlesss the Adiiiimlration
is the General Government, to centralize
power other than in the amendments "re
cently declared adopted.''
The fifth resolution repudiate; the doc
trine that any law or legislative policy of
any party is a finality, and declares the
right of the people to alter or repeal
them." Just so. And because it is so,
we have the right to demand die repeal or
modification of the Fifteenth Amendment,
or any other amendment or law which
revolutionizes '-the original theory and
character oi the Federal Government."
Vallandighani's Democracy.
From Pomero "s Democrat.
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
the resolutions adapted by the Democrats
of Dayton. Ohio, a; a meeting which had
for its Chairman on Resolutions, Hon. C.
L. Yallandigham.
The ones con erning the intent, mean
ing and eonsti'utlonalify of the amend
ments to the Constitution should please
the Democrats they certai dy satisfy till
Republicans! It is'pos.-ib;.- Ihat solitude

What need of a Democratic party when
it is asked to do nothing but endorse the
misrule, tyranny, usurpations and corrup
tions of the Republicans '; Why not add
the following to the Dayton side-wheel
improvement, and thus strengthen the
Yallandigham resolutions, and add " har
mony'' to the elements in power?
Jlcaolved. That the arrest of C. L.
Yallandigham, the battering in of his
doors, the branding him as a traitor and
escorting him "out of the country," was
right, proper, patriotic, and in accordance
with the bayonet power of the Constitu
tion. llesoh-cd. That ail the Republican party
has done, and all it may do, has been and
will be right.
Jltsulvul. That where there is no differ
ence between Democracy and Republi
canism one party or the other should dis
band at once.
llesolvtd. That we put on the skin of a
jackass and hew wood and draw water for
our masters.
2kso! ced.' That the Democratic party
disband, and its members join in a carpet-bag
crusade against the long outraged
and submissive people of the South.
The above resolutions are offered for
the suggestion of the Democrats of Day
ton and Cincinnati, as a recipe to a saist ii
making political campaigns easy. The
chairman of the committee on resolutions
should now have the floor to say
1'ul me in iry llllie bed'.''
An Oregon exchange says that the Re

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
The Ku Klnx Committee.
It will be remembered that Congress at
the last session appointed a Joiut Com
mittee of the two Houses to investigate,
during vacation, the condition of things
at the South and report at its next session.
Of course the Radicals have a majority of
the Committee and can control its mode
of procedure. It was generally under
stood that the Committee would divide
up in sub-Committees and visit those por
tions of the South which were reported
to be disturbed. This was the only fair
mode of proceeding and therefore it was
just the mode the Radical members did
not adopt. In the Washington Patriot of
the 22d instant we notice the proceedings
of the Committee :
Mr. Bavard offered a resolution to this
effect : That the true object and intent
with which this joint committee was ap
pointed was to ascertain, by personal ex
amination and the testimony of witnesses
taken at their respective localities, the
true condition of affairs in the States
lately in insurrection, and that any report
to be made to Congress should bo based
upon knowledge and information so
obtained.
This fair and frank proposition predica
ted upon the action of Congress, was
voted down by a strict party division, 12
Republicans to 7 Democrats.
Mr. Voorhees proposed that the legal
rules of evidence which prevails in the
courts of the United States should govern
the committee and the sub-committees in
their investigations.
The Republicans refused, by the same
vote, to be governed by such rules of
evidence as are universally recognized,
but claimed the right to make their own
regulations, and to fake testimony as they
Gleemed most expedient for party purposes.
Mr- Yan Trump then offered a resolu
tion declaring that mere rumor, and what
is known as hearsay testimony in the
courts, should be excluded.
This motion was defeated, as the others
had been, because the Radicals rely en
tirely upon fabricated reports and rumors
to make up their catalogue of "outrages"
for political consumption.
These illustrations will serve to show
the spirit which animates the majority,
alter their refusal to go South, and their
appointment of a committee to sit here
and manufacture testimony, a.-:
iast Winter, by summoning the
was done
very ruf-
fians and vagabt
who
committed i
the only crimes which had disfigured cer
tain localities in North Carolina. Hence,
it is easy to loresliudow what course this
sub-committee will pursue, which his
taken a recess lo the 1st of June, when
Mr. Scott and las associates will repeat
the discreditable proceedings which are
already embodied in a report remarkable
only for the absence of eander, common
justice and truthfultiess.
This crusade against ten millions of
wdtite men "our Southern brethern,' as
they are hypocritically called in some
quarters is organized with an animus of
hostility, and with a design to misrepre
sent. Hence, they are denied the com
mon rules of justice, and are to be tried
by a jury of part isans, expressly packed
to convict.
y Fri.m Following are the two resolution-,
iu full passed by the Montgomery
county (Ohio) Convention, and which are
generally known as the new departure'
They are enough to sickea any honest
Democrat :
First That agreeing to disagree in all
respects as to the past, we cordially u:iit.j
upon the li ing issues of the day, and
hereby invite all men of the Republican
party who believe new upon the present
issues, as we believe, to co-.perale fully
and actively with us upon the basis of
perfect equality with every member of
the IVmucratio party.
Second Thai waiving all differences id
opinion as to the extraordinary means by
which they were brought about, we
accept the natural and legitimate results
of the war so far wag-'d for its ostensible
purposes. m:daiai:i the Union and the
constitutional rights and powei s ot the
Federal Government, including the three
several amendments defarto to tin; Ct n

war, and to acquiesce in the s uue as no

Shooting Affray. A shoot ing affray

times, missing him almost entirely only
one ball feuehinor the skin on his back.
Clarke was taken home in a carriage
more freightened than hurt. We consider
Mr. Watkin's attack on Mr. Clarke unjusti
fiable and disgraceful. Mr. Clarke is
much the inferior of Mr. Watkms in
strength and if he had offended or said
anything which he did not like, should
have taken Clarke across his knee and
gave him a fatherly spanking. On the

and Henry Gale ot the Ensign, and Win.
Thompson, editor of the Plaindeakr. It
occurred in front of the postofiice. It is
impossible yet to tell who shot first. The
quarrel arose out of some newspapei
article. Thompson is shot in three places
through the lace and neck and through
the shoulder and his side grazed by i
bullet. Thomas Gale is shot through th
breast. The wound is dangerous if no
fatal. Henry Gale is beaten over tue
head with a revolver and badly hurt.
The wounds of Thompson and Thomas
Gale are dangerous. It is said by every
one that saw the affray that Thomas Gale
shot first.

Collins. The name of Wilkie Collins
now stands almost- at the head of the list of
the living English novelists. His plots are
intricate, his stories bill of mystery, and his
power as a writer unquestionable. We

and popular edition of the works of this cel
ebrated author, now- in course cf publication

Wilkie Collins is certainly "one of the most
popular of living novelists, and no writer of
fiction better understands the art of story
telling than he does. It beino unifonn in
size and price with the new and cheap
od.tions of the Works of Alaxan k-r Dumas,

The I'aix Killek" may justly be styled
the great medicine of the world, for there is
no region of the globe into which it has not
found its way, and been largely used and
1 lghly pii.ed. Moreover, there is no clime
to which it has not proved o be well adept :d
for the cure of a considerable quantity of
disease ; it is a speedy and safe remedy for
burns, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds" and
various other injuries, as well as for dysen
tery, diorrheca und bowel complaints gener
ally, it is admirably suited for every race of
men on the face of the globe.
It is a very significant fact, tluvt notwith
standing the long period of vear.s th it the
" Fain Killer" has been before the world,
it has never lost one whit of its popularity'
but, on the contrary, the call for' it has
steadily increased from its fir.-t ci-coverv
and at no previous time has the demand f'.r
it been so great, or the quantity made been
so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere
has the I'ain Killer ever been in higher le
pute, or been more generally used bvfamilie
and individuals, than it bus b
ecu here at
norae, wuere it was hrst discovered and in
troduced. That the I'ain Killer wiil con
tinue to be, what we have styled it, thk
CHEAT MEIMCINK OF THK WOULD, there CavillOt

Ayer's Ague Cure,
For IPever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Eernittont Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or rniasraatia
poisons.
No one remedy is louder
called for by the necessities of
the American people Uum a
cure and sate cure l'orFever
and Ague, such we are how
enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate
the disease, and with assur
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise
from its use in any quantify. .
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be r immense service in the com
munities where it prevails. I'revention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper, 'i his "Crni:" expels the mia-maiio
poison of Fkveu am Acta-; from the system,
and prevents the development of the disease, if
taken on the llvst approach of its premonitory
svmptoms. It is not only the 'nest remedy ever
Yet discovered for this class of comj. faints, but
kl.-o the choape.vt. The larire quantity we siip
plv for a dollar brings it within the. reach of
evervbodv; and in bilious districts, where
Fevkk ani Aci'E prevails, everybody should
have it, and u-o it freely, both for euro und re
fection. It is hoped this price will place it within
the reach of all the poor as well as the rich.
A great superiority of this remedy over any
other over discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intrrmittents is, that it contains no (Jui
nine or mineral; consequently it produces no
quinism or other injurious eiic'ds whatever upon
the constitution. Those cured by it are left as
health-,- as if thev had never had the disease.
Fever and A .cue is not alone the consequence
of the mia -mat ic poison. A errc-at variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, amorce which
are Neuralgia, Klieumatism, Gout, Headache,
liiindnoss. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh. Asth
ma, l'alpitation, Painful Affection of the spleen,
Ilvsteries, I'ain in the Howe's. Co5i-, Paralysis,
and derangement of the Stomach, all of which,
when orbrinating in this cause, put on the in
termittent tvpe', or become periodical. This
" Gnu: " expels the poison from the blood, and
consequentlv cures them ail alike. It is an in
valuable protection to immigrants and persons
travelling or temporarily residing in the mala
rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to- the infection, that will be ex
creted from the system, and cannot accumulate
in suilicient quantity to ripen into disease.
Hence it is even more valuable for protection
than cure: and lew will ever suffer from Inter
mittents ii" they avail themselves of the protec
tion this remedy affords.
For Urcr (;ottIninfs, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is .an excellent remedy, stim
ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro
ducing many truly remarkable cures, where
other 'medicines fall.

Kvcry year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation:
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our ohl patrons that it is kept
fully up to its hio-h standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration ior restoring Gray or Faded
Hair to its youthful color, makiner it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,0
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dnndmQ
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, alossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended purposes."
