Ayer'3 Hair Vigor keeps tho hair soft
and pliant, imparts to it the lustre and
freshness of youth, causes it to grow
luxuriantly, eradicates Dandruff, cures
all scalp diseases, and is the most clean
ly of all hair preparations.
AVpR'Q Hair Vigor has given me
m lt 1 o perfect satisfaction. I was
nearly hald for six years, during which
time I used many hair preparations, hut
without success. Indeed, what little
hair I had was growing thinner, until
I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor. I used two
bottles of the Vigor, and my head is now
well covered with a new growth of hair.
Judson B. Chapel, Peabody, Mass.
U AID that has become weak, gray,
nrtin ana faded, may have new life
and color restored to it hy tho use of
Ayer's Hair Vigor. My hair was thin,
faded, and dry, and fell out in largo
quantities. Ayer's Hair Vigor stopped
the falling, and restored my hair to its
original color. As a dressing for tho
hair, this preparation has no equal.
Mary N. Hammond, Stillwater, Minn.
1lfiflR yuth ana- hcaury, in tho
V lUUrij appearance of tho hair, may
be preserved for an indefinite period by
tho use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. A dis
ease of tho scalp caused my hair to be
como harsh and dry, and to fall out
freely. Nothing I tried seemed to do
me any good until I commenced using
Ayer's Hair Vigor. Three bottles of
this preparation restored my hair to a
healthy condition, and it is now soft
and pliant. My scalp is cured, and it
is also free from dandruff. Mrs. E. U.
Foss, Milwaukee, "Wis.
Ayer's Hair Vigor,

Perfect Safety, prompt action, and
wonderful curativo properties, easily
place Ayer's Pills at tho head of tho list
of popular remedies for Sick and Nerv
ous Headaches, Constipation, and all ail
ments originating in a disordered Liver.
I have been a great sufferer from
Headache, and Ayer's Cathartic Pills
aro the only medicine that has evei
given me relief. Ono dose of these Pills
will quickly movo my bowels, and fret
my head from pain. "William L. Page,

HOW TO ADVERTISE.
The Experience of the Oldest and Best
, Known Business Men.
Too much money is spent on
"snap" advertising schemes. I
venture the assertion that fully
one-third of the money spent in
this country for advertising is
spent on the new schemes "fakes,"
they are called in the language of
the craft introduced by itiner
ant solicitors.
The oldest, and perhaps the
most worthless of the schemes de
vised to pull the dollars from the
business man's pocket is the "ho
tel card," printed on common col
ored card-board and varying in
size from Cx9 to 11x14, or a quar
ter sheet of card-board according
to the gullibility of the business
men approached in the interests of
the scheme. These cards, which
are fastened to the inside of the
bedroom doors, contain the rules
of the hotel, occupying a compar
atively infinitesimal space, and the
remainder is filled with advertise
ments, representing every business
in the town. Imagine the specta
cle of a traveler, on a cold morn
ing, with one trousers leg on, and
hopping about the room in the ef
fort to preserve his equilibrium
while he encases his nether limb
in the refractory division imag
ine him, with chattering teetli and
"goose-pimpled" anatomy stop
ping to read about "tho Leading
Dry Goods House," "Staple and
Fancy Groceries," "Free Deliv
ery," "Our Motto One Price to
All," "Largo Stock of Cooking
Stoves." "Capital Stock, 100,-
000," "Satisfaction Guaranteed,"
and other information of a like
nature!
From twenty to fifty of these
cards are printed, at a cost of the
getter-up of four or five dollars;
while he may receive for the ad
vertisements 35 or 40 very
good'wages for a few hours' work.
The cards ho gives to the hotel
proprietor in exchange for his
board.
One of the grandest swindles I
call to mind now was that perpe
trated on the business men of a
southern Kansas town about two
years ago by a "town clock"
scheme. Two smooth tongupd
strangers induced twenty or muro
merchants to take space on a cir
cular board about three feet in di
ameter, which was hoisted on a
pole at a street corner. In the
center of the board was a cheap
clock, and around spaces in which
advertisements were painted. The
expense of this board to the adver
tisers was, if mv memory serves
me right, S1G0, at least $140 of
which was clear profit for the so
licitor's three days work. In a
week tho clock succumbed to old
Sol and the rain; while the same
forces caused the paint to fade and
peel offand there it stood, and
yet stands for aught I know, a
one hundred and sixty-dollar
Hitching post!
Advertisements in directories
and theatrical and other pro
grammes are not worth the time
consumed in writing them; and
money so expended is absolutely
thrown away. The same is true of
fence-board advertising, except
the consent of the farmer be
gained, for he will, nine times out
of ten, resent the liberty taken
with his boundary lines by" knock
ing off the board and nailing it on
again with the sign inside. Again,
boards are broken, and when the
fence is repaired we behold' these
startling anneuncements: "Bar
gains in purgative pellets at John
Smith's;" "Charter Oak Stoves
Cure Sick Headache."
A well conducted paper is the
only medium through which the
advertiser can reach the people-
with proht to himself, buch, at
least, has been the experience of
the oldest and best known adver
tisers, who arrived at the conclu
sion through tho expenditure of
many thousand dollars in experi
mental ad vertteing.Supt. Thomp

For cleansing and healing foul and
Indolent Ulcers. Sores and Abscesses
and removing the bad odors arising
therefrom, and for slouching, contused
and lacerated wounds, Darbys Prophy
lactic Fluid is unequalled.
"I have used Darbys Prophylactic
Fluid in hospital and private practice
for ten years and know of nothing bet
ter for sloughing, contused and lacer
ated wounds, foul and indolent ulcers
and as a disinfectant."--.!. F. Heustis,

The governor of the Danish col
ony of Greenland receives by the
ship which brings him his annual
supplies,, copies of the daily papers
of Copenhagen for the year preced
ing. He arranges these papers in
the order of their dates, and then
calmly and quietly reads a paper
each day, just as though it was
fresh from the press. He is some
times strongly tempted to peer in
to futurity by reading some papers
ahead when ho comes across inter
cstintr news; but he resists the
temptation, no matter how anxious
he is to know the fate of some
measure. One day's paper for
each day is his rule; and so at the
end of the year he is thoroughly
familiar with the news of the pre
ceding year. Ho says he is just as
happy as though he pulled each
day's paper off Ahe press. ,
