ETHING WORTH ENOWING !—By stag Proteoeee Wood’s Hair Restorative gray hair can be permanently restored to its orig nai color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are daily eoming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no loager problematical, but a self-evident truth, as hun of our community can testify —Bos- ton Herald. Gaxvner, Me, June 22, 1852. Mr. H. Dyres—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it isthe greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You ‘can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY. Car_yteg, Ill., June 27, 1853. Ihave used Prof O J. Wood's Hair Restora- tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as 1 thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative”? it has resumed its original color, ard, I have no doubt, permanently so, SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE —Iinourcolumns to- day will be found Prof. Woods advertisement of the above article, to which we eall attention. What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- era! of owracquaintanees in St. Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the ease might be, being the color ene manhood ; and as fine and glossy as silk, and fhat without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the same for any of our readers whose ‘‘f-osty prows’? were once like the ‘‘ raven locks”? of Lothiel’s warlike chief, if they will try it. We thnk so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Ost. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OP THE AGE —It seldom occurs that we notice, under any eircumstanees, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we havea pre- judice against most of them. But eando’ com- is usto invite attention to the advertisement of 10fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juventle to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of its use have eome to our knowledge which almost assures us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. It{s not a ‘‘ Hatr Dye.”’ but upon its ap- plication, as directed, the effeet is produced upon the skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a giossy and natural 2p rence. \Ve haveseen persons who have used it, and are much pleased with it.
