and drinking it while foaming. Cases of Sum¬ 
mer complaint and diarrhea have often been 
cared by taking this dose once every hour 
until checked. To obtain these ingredients

things on baud for a long time, and they 
lose then* strength somewhat by keeping. 
This baking powder, when made, will nut cost 
over 20 cents per pound. Give your neigh¬ 
bors a few sample packages, and 1 think you 
will have a chance to sell a few pounds. The 
object of puttiug in the Hour is to make a 
more even mixture and to keep the powder 
from becoming lumpy. wm. f. m.

A Pretty Woman’s Secret, 
Fear of discovery, when she resoris to 
false hair and dyes, is a source of con¬ 
stant anxiety to'her. The very persons 
from whom she most desires to hide the 
leaning of her charms are the ones most 
likely lo make the discovery. But there 
is no reason why she should not regain 
and retain all thebciiilly of hair that wu- 
her pride in youth. I.et liep Use Aykk'.n 
IIur Vigor, and, not only will her hair 
cense to fall out. bill a new growth will 
appear where the scalp has been denuded; 
and locks that are turning gray*, or have 
actually grown white, will return to their 
pristine freshness and brilliance of coloi. 
Ayer’s Hair Vigor cures 
Hereditary Baldness. 
George Mayer. Flatonia. 7V?xas,was 
bald at 22 years of age. as his ancestors 
had been for several generations. One 
bottle of Hair Vigor started a growth of 
soft, downy hair all over hi- scalp, which 
soon became thick, long, and vigorous. 
Ayer’s Hair Vigor 
is not a dye, but. by healthful stimulation 
of the roots and color glands, speedily 
restores to its originhl color hair that is 
Turning Cray. 
Mrs. Catherine Dkameu. Point of 
fi"cks, Md., had her hair suddenly 
blanched by fright, during the late civil 
war. Aykr'S Hair Vigor restored it 
to its natural color, and made it softer, 
glossier, and more abundant than it had 
been before. 
Scalp Diseases 
Which cause dryness, brittleness!, and fall¬ 
ing of * lie hair, dandruff, itching, and 
aniioyiiig -ore-, are all quickie cured by 
\ ykr’s IIaik Vigor. Ii cured Herbert

Vigor. An
