Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative wit RESTORE GRAY HAIR TO ORI- ginal color permanently; made to grow up on bald heads; remove all dandruff or itching; destroy all diseases uf the scalp; and if used once or twice a week regularly, will prevent the bair from becoming gray or falling, toan imaginable age Read the following testimonials, and we defy you to doubt, (says the Waverly Magazine.) Success to the , ee whose tonic we gay, Turns back to its color the Hair that was gray. SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING !—By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray hair can be permanently restored to its original color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of {ts wonderful effects. It is no pouner promematical; but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify.—Bos- ton Herald. Ganvner, Me, June 22, 1852. Mr. H. Dyxs—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. 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 | was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You can recommend {t to the world without the least fear, as my case ‘was one of the worst kind Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY Cax.yte, 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, and, I have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTO RATIVE.—Inourcolumns to- day will be found Prof. Wood’s advertisement of the above article, to which we call attention. What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of ouracquaintances in St. Loufs. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood; and neta and glossy as silk, and that without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the same for any of our seaders whose ‘‘frosty prows?’ were once like the ‘‘ raven locks”? of Lothiel’s warlike chief, if they will iy it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- judice against most of them. But candor com- 1s us to invite attention to the adverti rofessor Wood’s Hair Restorative. We juvenile to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assures us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematarely gray. itis not a ‘+ Hair Dye,” but upon its ap- epee as directed, the effect is produced upon ‘he skin, which brings ont the original colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glossy and natural ka Pgpshearse We have seen persons who have used it, and are much pleased with it. bx- amine the adyertisement = letsseurs Republican.
