Public Speaking!

HON. D. D. DYKEMAN AND lION. J. S. SLICK Will address the people of Jasper county on the political issues of the day, at the Court House, in RENSSELAER. Satuiuj.vv, August 14, 1880, in tho aftirnoon. Everybody invited to attend. One of the “subs” of the Republican desires us distiibute certain matter which he designates as “typical lies,’* In looking over the list we can And only the following: I never otfned, received or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilieror of the Union Pacific railroad, nor any dividends or prefits arising from either of them. - Mr. Garfield. Uttered and sworn to by Mr. Garfield.

Dark Sigma of the Times.

Nothing more clearly presages the decline and ultimate ruin of a nation than the prevalence and toleration of corruption in high places. It is true, there are other indications: such as pride, avarice, and gross infidelity, which are commonly the outgrowth of excessive wealth; but these are so closely associated with the former that they may, in many respects, be rogarded as identical. But a nation’s peril is most imminent when men can be elevated to, or be long retained in. positions of great responsibility, whose record has been characterized by dishonesty and treachery. With a high-minded and patriotic people, the bare suspicion of corruption sho’d exclude persons from political preferment, especially when the position sought for is one of great responsibility. It is only when a people have become demoralized—when every principle of manhood, every sense of honor and integrity have been paralyzed that they can be induced to give their suffrage to a man whose reputation is stained by perfidy. It is as true in morals as in hydrostatics, that the stream will not rise higher than the fountain, and whenever a people can be induced to choose a leader whose honor and integrity he esteems no better than merchandise, they afford the most conclusive evi dence that they are in no condition to appreciate or maintain a free and independent government. The very fact that such a man should be selected by a powerful party and presented to the public as a fit person to fill the highest position In the gift of a free and intelligent people is a sad comment on the degeneracy o* a nation once proud of its honor and integrity. At no timo, prior to the late civil war, would such an expedi •nt have been ventured upon by any party; and it would be an auspicious event that would auger well for the future of our country if the people, irrespective of party, would rise in their majesty and resent the insult and indignity imposed upon them, by inflicting an overwhelming and ignominious defeat on the party and candidate who have pfesumed upon their indifference to honor and integrity. J. M.

Will theKentland Gazette inform its readers that the "back pay grab,” thro’ the instrumentality of Garfield,passed Congress on the 3d of March, 1873. On the 26th of March, 1873, a republican convention held at Warren. Trnmbull county, in his district adopted resolutions of severe censure, coupled with a request that Mr. Garfield resign. Ou the 22d of April following he returned the $5,000 to the Treasury. He saved his seat, but his majority fell from 10,944 in 1872, to a fraction over 2,000 in 1874? Will it do so?

Oh, for a wood-cut to illustrate the picture presented in the Republican of to-day. Owiug to the necessary absence of its editor a part of the time a number of his political friends are very properly and kindly engaged iu providing Its contents, which, from the number of cooks, without a managing h**ad, makes rather u diversified mixture for the reader. Here we have a column supplicating for mercy, and interceding for a cessation of reference to the official (uot personal) character of its candidate for President—begging for rest from “raudslingiug” iHid slanderous epithets (?) Another column, from another writer teems with contemptible filth and cowardly iuuendoes. One engaged iu pitiful supplication—another in throwing mud. The mud they accuse us of Hinging was manufactured by Messrs. Garfield, Poland, Banks, aud tjo radical press. It is of their own production, bears offleiul imprint of rudical Congressional committees, of rudical convention iu Mr. Garfield’s district, and the verdict of the radical preas thereon. The radicul convention placed Mr. Garfield in nomination. With this “mud” clinging to his skirts he is not the proper person to administer the government, and the people are entitled to know whit manner of man he is.

Those who have been engaged in chargin treason, rebel symputhy, etc., upon Democrats—aye, upon Democrats engaged at the front in contest to crush rebellion, while they remained in the lear to vote—are the parties who are squealing now. Gen. Hancock, who shed his blood, aud received the thanks of Congress and a grateful people for his grand courage and ability, is reproached with haviug been educated at the expense of the general govenraent. Very well, by his long, faithful, and brilliant servicet he has more than repaid the government. He is to-day the standard bearer of the grand old Democratic party, by his governmental education well fitted for the position to wh’ch he will be elected.

The Kentland Gazette insists that we have not shown it to be “a well established fact, that Garfield is a salary grabber.” We suggest that the Gazette publish tho proceedings in Congress connected with the “grab” act. In the proceedings Mr. Garfield is reported as having taken umbrage at the insinuation that it was just so much plunder, and retorted: * “It is not plunder, unless gentlemen here consider themselves not deserving the promised pay.” * Then again he closed his remarks upon his report from the conference committee, with the following appeal for its adoption by the House: “I have nothing further to say, except that I wish the House to weigh well the danger of refusing to concur in this report.” Is it very likely that after such an exhortation from Mr. Garfield, he wo’d turn about and vote against the darling project that had caused such imploring utseranee? Not so. He favored the “grab,” voted for it, took it, and only returned it after receiving a terrible and scathing arraignment at the hands of his constituents. Tho Gazette adds: “We have the Congressional Globe and have examined it fully on this subject.” If so, Ml. Gazette, copy the proceedings, correctly and without garbling, from the official records, and we are willing to submit the proper construction to your readers and ours.— Let your readers “examine it fully on the subject,” also. Dare you do it?

The chairman and secretary of the Jasper county radical committee pretend to play “bluff,” as the oard below published in last week’s Republican indicates: “If the Democrats aad their allies desire a fair comparison of Garfield and Hanoock as to their fitness for the office of President of the United States without reference to political affiliations, the Republicans of Jasper county are.willing to have their merits publicly discussed at the Court House at any convenient time, by a supporter of Garfield living in Jasper county and a supporter of Hancock living in Jasper county, selected by his friends. It is easier to make assertions than prove them. Let the mudslingers put up or shut up. Henry I. Adams, Chairman. I. B. Washburn, hec’y Jasper Co. Republican Cen. Committee. The officers of the Republican Cen tral committee are evidently laboring under a “spell of aggrawation.” What would a “fair comparison of Garfield and Hancock as to their fitness for the Office of President of tbe United States without reference to party affiliations,” result in? We will not “make assertions,” but simply take the state ments of the gentlemen and their respective friends and see.— Speaking of a transaction in which he had a hand, Gen. Hanoock says: Headquarters Second Corps. ) Army of the Potomac, J uly 3,1863, J Major General Geo. G. Meade, Commanding Army of the Potomac: The troops under my command have repulsed tne enemy’s assault, and have gained a great victory. The enemy are now flying in all directions. W. S. Hancock, " Major General. To which his friend, Gen. Meade, nspondtd: Headquarters ) Army of the Potomac, July 3,1863. j Say to General Hancock that I rc-

gret exceedingly that he is wounded, and that I thank him for the country and for myself for the great service he has rendered to-day. Geoboe G. Meade, Major General Commanding. And to which a republican Congress and President, “without refer ence to political affiliations,” responded: Be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That in addition to the thanks heretofore voted by joint reslution, approved January 28. 1864, to Major General George G. Meade, Major General Oliver O. Howard, and to the officers and soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, for the skill and heioie valor which at Gettysburg re pulsed, defeated and drove back, broken aud dispirited, the veteran army of the rebellion, the gratitude of the American people and the thanks of their representatives in Congress are likewise due and are hereby tendered to Miijor General Winfield S. Hancock for bis gallant, meritorious aud conspicuous share in that great and decisive victory. Passed by the House April 10, 1866. Passed bv the Senate April 18,1866. Signed by the President April 23, 1866.

We might quote from references to his great courage aud abilities in many other engagements, when he elicited from admiring and grateful commanders that his heroic conduc* and bearing was “superb,” etc., but we desire to bo brief. Of the civil qualifications of Gen. Hancock we let Judge Black, than whom no more efflci-mt critic lives today,speak: Washington, November 30.1867. My Dear General— This moment I lead your admirable order. I am much engaged, but I can not resist the temptation to steal time enough from my clients to tell you how grateful you have made me by your patriotic and noble behavior. Yours Is ths first, most distinct and emphatic recognition which the principle of American liberty has received at the hands of any high officer in a Southern command. It has the very ring of the Revolutionary metal. Washington never said a thing in better taste or better time. It will prove to all men that “Peace hath her victories not less renowned than war.” I congratulate you, uot because it will make you the most popular man in America, for I dare say you care uothiugabout that, but because it will give you through all time the solid reputation of a true patriot aud a sincere lover of your country, its laws aud its government. This, added to vour brilliant achieve ments as a soldier, will leave you without a rival iu the affections of all whose good will is worth having* and give you a place iu history which your children will be proud of This acknowledgement from me does not amount to much, but lam expre sing only the feelings of millions, and expressing them feebly at that. With profound respect, yours, etc. J. S. Black. Under oath, referring to a transaction in which he was charged with having a hand, Mr. Garfield says: I never owned, received or agreed to rebdive any stock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union Pacific railroad, nor any dividends or profits arising from either of them.—Mr. Garfield. To which, after hearing the testi muny, a republican congressional committee, “without reference to political affiliations” responded as follows: „ “He (Garfield) agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received the 80 per cent, dividend in bonds, and sold them for 97 per cent., and also received the 60 per cent cash dividend, which, together with the price of the stock and interest, left a balance of $329. This sum was paid over to Mr. Garfield by a check on the Serg *ant-at-Arms.“ His constituents, in convention assembled, adopted scathing resolutions already published by us. which prove him to be totally unfit for the posi tion named.

Tc the Editor of the Republican.

Siit:—l wish through the columns of your paper te reply to an article in your last week’s issue, entitled “A Demagogue.” I do not deny that I nave held positions of trust, in the Republican party, but will say all of such trusts have been lawfully, faithfully, and honestly performed. I quote from the article above mentioned: “The public records of Jasper county show that no other man whom the Kepublieans were instrumental in electing to local office plead for so long indulgence in the settlement of his official accounts.” To the above I have only this to say, the writer, whoever (or whatever) he may be knows very little abont the “public records of Jasper county” when he says that “no other man whom the Republicans were instrumental in electing to office plead so long for indulgence in the settlement of official > accounts.” Every dollar of my official accounts were settled. But the writer further says: “And no other was more prompt to seize advantage of a technicality and grab an extra handful out of the people’s treasury.” On settlement with the Board of Commissioners each of the ex-trea-surer’s paid in to the county funds ceitain money, which properly belonged to the treasurers themselves. At the June term ot the County Board 1877, Thos. Boroughs, L, W. Henkle, Charles Platt, and L. C. Janes, all Republican ex-treasurers, petitioned the board to refuud to said parties their respective amounts so paid into the county treasury, and the board say; (Record 5, p. 254,) that “These claims are hereby referred to R. S. Dwiggins, (a Republican) county attorney fox his written opinion as to their validity and justice.” At the September term of the board 1877, (Record 6. p. 295, the board composed of the three Republican Commissioners say that after a very careful examination es said petition, aud all the written evidence and hearing all the testimony in the case (that being that of H. A. Barkley. J D. Cowdin. Chas. Platt, F. W. Babcock, L. W. Henkle.) and being fully advised as to the law in the case find for the petitioner Thos. Borroughs, that there is due him SBSO. All of the a;cve mentioned county ex treasurers drew their respective amounts as allowed by the board. Now, I cannot see why the writer would dare to Insinuate that such men as Reorge Kessler, William B. Price, H. A. Barkley, R. 8. Dwiggins, F. W. Babcock, L. W. Heakie, Chas. Platt, all colluded to assist Thomas Boroughs by a technicality to grab an extra handful out of the people’s treasury.

I believe that the masses of the Republican voters are honest, well meaning men, while I believe that the financial legislation of the Republican party has been and is corrupt, and to use the language of the author of “A Demogogue” as he used it in 1873, it seems he at that time held the same views. Speaking of Gen. Garfield and others he says: ‘lt makes no difference who is implicated in the Credit Mobilier transaction, whether he be Republican or Democrat, vice president, or a common representative in coegress, justice, decency, political integrity, all demand that be be branded in such a manner that no hypocritical profession of Christianity, «*r canting boast of religion shall hide bis shame from the sup, or cot er his infamy from the world.” I do not expect to bring the autber to agree with me in the financial questions, I am willing to let fair minded men judge of any course, bnt attempts to redicule, dr slander a man out of bis political opinions, are not such means as honorable aad reasonable men should use in this day and age of the world. Yours, &c.,

THOMAS BOROUGHS.

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE

James E- Powell, of Kansas City, Pays an Wloquont Tribute to General Hancock. [Denver Daily News.] The following tribute to General Haucock was paid by James Elbert Powell, of Kansas City, the eloquent youn« rival of Bob Ingersoll, in his brilliant lecture on “The Solid South,” now being delivered iu Colorado under the auspices of the American Literary Bureau of New York: “ l cau not close this allusion to the era of reconstruction in the South, ladies and gentlemen, without offering a tribute to ‘hat man, who, tried by the true test of greatness, has proven himself a peer—whose young sword flashed like a meteor over the bloody fields of Mexico, and flung its gleams across the deepening twilight of Spottsylvania and Gettysburg—whose splendid energies and Spartan prowess have ever been dedicated to the cause of individual justice and national honor—whose gallantry is emblazoned upon the brightest pages of American history, but whose glory as a warrior is eclipsed by the grandeur of the civilian—who was no less a hero beneath the olive branch of peace than when leading the charge under the red banner of war—who never feared to draw his sword at the call of hisoountry, or to lay it, sheathed, upi n the shrine of constitutional Government when the dust of conflict had drifted away—who crystalized his views and molded his measures with that royal compassion which yielded to a conquered and impoverished foe the inviolable inheritance of civic liberty—who is one of the grandest men in the land, recognized by the brilliancy of his individual luster, and uot reflecting the borrowed rays of other luminaries—to that defender of the Union, that champion of the Constitution, that sovereign of soldiers, that pioneer of peace, that prince of patriots, General Winfield Scott Hancock, the exponent of great virtue, of tried courage, of lofty wisdom, of broad intelligence of earnest patriotism, of noble aspiration and of true manhood. He is a soldier, not alone of manner or of rank, but of merit and of mind—he is a soldier, who distinguished liimseif in the defense,of libert3\ and the vanquishment of des-potism-he is a soldier who lifted himself above the ignoranee and prejudice of the day, and planted the royal banner of pardon and love upon the battlements of sectionalism aud strife—he is a soldier, not by the power of fear, but by the force of splendid superiority; he is a soldier upon whose bosom radiates the star of honor, and to whose memory will be issued the highest patent of nobility. When, at the foot or Bunker Hill, in the shadow of that royal shaft, which stands a monumental emblem of heroic valor, whose remembrance is eonseeiated in the hearts of 50,000,000 of patriots, beneath the rays of the stais and the light of the centuries, the goddess of historic unity ard liberty, the guardian of our national faith shall call the roll of the grand army of heroes, there will be no more gallant—no more glorious response, than that which swells from the heart aud the record of Winfield S. Hancock.

He believed that when the Southern chieftain surrendered his sword to the Northern conqueror beneath the historic tree at Appomattox, the Southern sun went down, and with its setting were buried the passion and pain of war; that the blue and the gray should clasp hauds forever, and the Northern sigh meet the Southern sorrow above the same graves, garlanded with the same flowers, gathered by the same hands, consecrated by the samq regrets, and bedewed with the same tears. He has recently been nominated by a great political body for the highest office in the gift of the American people, and, though I come to nighi as the advocate of no faction—the ohampion of no party—as a lover of my country, I must say, that, if General Hancock’s destiny, casts its meridiau beams upon him in the White House, they will fall upon an Rxecuiive from whose hands the scepter of justice will not drop in helpless impoteace, but one who will continue to battle for union and liberty, while truth, courage and fidelity to principle shall find a home in, the hearts and hopes of men. He will not be a politician for the sake of party as he has not been a soldier for tho sake of glory, but he will be a man for the sake of his country. He is a man, the corner stone of whose character Is integrity. He is a man whose virtues are negative or obstructive, but positive aud aggressive. He is a man with a strong mind, a pure heart and a ready haud. He is a man who will set his face against any system of political looseness, and link honor and valor to a sympathy with the people. He is a man whose favor no spoils of office can buy, whose voice no mocking flattery can silence—he is a man, upon whose escutcheon rests no stain or semblance of dishonor—he is a man who will bind together the fragments of our dismembered Union—he is a man, who will heal the wounds of sectional hate, and kindle the warmth of fraternal affection—he is a man who will rise above the level of partisan zeal, above the reaoh of personal vanality, above the influence or suspicion of corruption, above tbe scope of moral cowardice—a man who will bring confidence, bring courage, bring peace to our unhappy country, where now “Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land. And waiting Justice sleeps.”

Correspondence.

Coaplin*entaryto Mr; Dontklt' Editor Sentinel : I hear the name of J. W. Douthit mentioned in connection with the office »f Prosecuting Attorney. Let me say that there is, in my mind, no better man in the District than J. W. Douthit. I have had excellent opportunities of discovering his merits. He is a gentleman. He is a scholar. And I dare say, if you chance to look into his law office, when all else have retired to slumber J. W. Douthit will be found at his book 9. Were lin Indiana as I am in Nebraska, he should have not only my vote, but my warmest support J. L. Makeevfr. Prof. Neb. Wesleyan Uuiversity. Morocco, Ind., July 22, 1880. Editor Sentinel : James W. Douthit, E q., of Jasuer county, was nominated at Goodland, Indiana. Tuesday, July 20th, 1880, for Prosecuting Attorney in the 30th Judicial Circuit, This is a meritorious nomination, aud we are glad of it. It gives general satisfaction in this vicinity. He will get a large number of Republican votes in this county. Many of the honest Republicans wko are tired of the “red tape” manner or style in which that office is run at present, and many more who do not approve of the manner in which Mr. Bishopp was nominated will just cut the matter short by voting for Douthit. This office of Prosecutor is not a political office ary more than the Judicial office is nolitical. The Demo orats of this district have twice endorsed Judge Hammond. Why wo’d It not bo proper for ail hands to join

iu and elect Douthit.

The Agricultural Fair of 1880,

Not least important among the enterprises in Jasper county, as bearing upon the material welfare of the inhabitants and adding to their happiness, are the agricultural fairs held annually at Rensselaer. Last year the society was reorganized, or rather, a new sooiety was organized which bought the franchises of tho old one, made necessary repairs upon the grounds and buildings and held a successful fair. The new society is a joint stock organization, governed by a board .of twelve directors, who are elected annually, owning its grounds and the appurtenances in lee simpie, is entirely out of debt and has a small surplus in its treasury sufficient to meet current demands. Its affairs are conducted upon strict business principles, no debts being contracted without the means in hand tu meet them promptly upon maturity. Every dollar that is received by the financial officers (who give good and sufficient bonds for the faithful discharge of their respective duties), must be strictly accounted for; the system of checks and counter-checks being such that there can be no collusion, if any might be contemplated, of the officers to defraud the society of its moneys or benefits. Notwithstanding the satisfaction universally expressed by the patrons of the society last year, the management felt that they had been hurried and in consequence many details were necessarily left in an unfinished condition, or were altogether omitted, and that with more time to devote to theii perfection much could be added to the attractions of the exhibitions. This year a revision has been made in the list of premiums offered, and considerable pruning out was done in places that did not promise benefit, either in promoting the development of the resources of the county, the plea, sure of visitors, or the advantage of the society; while other departments have been largely stimulated by the increase of premiums thus made possible. Allen J. Yeoman is this year superintendent of the departments devoted to horses, jacks and mules; Lucius Strong superintendent of the cattle department ; Samuel R. Nicholls will have supervision of the exhibition of sheep and swine; Dr. I. B. Washburn is superintend, cut of the poultry department, which, it is confidently expected, will be the most attractive exhibition of the kind shewn in northwestern Indiana, certainly the most attractive ever seen in the county . William S. Coen will have general charge of exhibitions iu the floral hall, and especial management of the departments assigned to vegetables and roots, grain and seeds, fruits, and prbduotions in leather; William W. Kenton will superintend the exhibition of farming implements, agricultural machinery, vehicles, wooden ware, etc.; Mrs. Cyrus J. Brown is superintendent of the department devoted to articles of domestic skill, such as go to make up the variety for a welllaid dining table and a well supplied larder; Miss Mollie Babcock is superintendent of ladies’ work and textile fabrics; Mrs. Alfred Thompson will superintend the exhibition of flowers, both natural and artificial; John M. Wasson has charge of the miscellaneous attractions that could not be otherwise conveniently classified; County Superintendent Nowels will superintend the school department—a feature introduced last year, which promises to be very interesting this season. These names carry with themselves a guaranty of complete success in each of the several partments. The general managPH ment of the fair is in hands that have had years of experience in matter of the kind, and they are determined that nothing shall be omitted which energy and enterprise can supply. Not the least

commendable feature of these fairs is the entire absence from the grounds of every species of gamb* ling and swindling device. Neither wheels of fortune, pool banks, prize package sales, nor any other thing ot kindred character, are permitted within the jurisdiction of the society.

REPUGLICAN.

EXTBACTS FROM HIS ODERS THAT SHOW WHAT KIN» OF A MAN HE IS. The true and proper use of the military power, besides defending the national honor against foreign nations, is to uphold the laws and civil government, ai d to secure to every person residing among us the enjoyment of life, liberty and property. The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, the natural rights of persons and the rights of propeity must be presented. Tell General Meade that the troops undei my command have repulsed the assaults of the enemy, who are now flying in all directions in my front. Power may destroy the forms, but not the principles of justice. These will live in spite even of the sword. The great prineipl s of American liberty still ar« the lawful inheritance of this people, and ever should be. Armed insurrections or forcible resistance to the law will be instantly repressed by arms. Nothing can intimidate me from doing what I believe to be honest and right. Arbitrary power has no existence here.

The greatest discovery of our day, so far as a large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radical cure in case of baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out. It is also a apeedy restorative, and while its use secures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased condiUon of the scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arreit these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin under the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CARBOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost la their natural state. Petroleum oil is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but It is after it has been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for the toilet. It wae in far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the hair wag first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair .hen he ever had before The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost, their hair from the cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the world, but the knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, a® no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But th® skill of one of our chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by a process known only to himself, ho has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in deodorizing* refined petroleum, which renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous eau de cologne. The experiments with the deodorized liquid on the human hair were attended with the most astonishing A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and hair. Every particle Of dandruff disappear® on the first or second dressing, and the liquid so searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious operation of nature, the use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the hair which by continued use, deepens to a black. . The color remains permanent for an indefinite length > of time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. . In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery, the age, and well calculated to make Uicprtmatursly bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial;, feeling satisfied that one application will convince them of its wonderful effects .—lHttsburg/i Cotnixercial of Oct. 22, 1877. The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging results : W. n. Brill & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upward of twenty years, hut have never had one to sell as well orgive such universal salisfaction. We therefore recommend it with confidence to our friends and the general public.” , Mr. Gustavl-s F. Hall, of the Oates Opera Troupe, writes: “ After six weeks' use lam convinceS* as are also my comrades, that your ‘ Carboline’ 1®»8 and is producing a wonderful growth of hair where I had none for years.” C. H. Smith, of the Jennie Hight Combination, writes: “ After using your ‘ Carbolinc’ three weeks I am convinced that bald heads can be ‘re-haired.’ It's simply wonderful in my case.” B. F. Arthur, chemist, Holyoke, Mass., writes: “ Your ‘ Carboline’ has restored my hair after everything else had failed.” * Jossph E. Pond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro, Mass., writes : For more than 20 years a portion of my head has been as smooth and free from hair as a billiard ball, but some eight weeks ago I was induced to try your Carboline, and the effect has been simply wonderful. no air baß l> een seen for years there pow appears a thick growth,, and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall have as good a bead of hair as I ever had. It is growing now nearly as rapidly as hair does afterIt is cut.
