What does it do ?
It causes the oil glands
in the skin to become more
active , making the hair soft
and glossy , precisely as
nature intended. - - - * - -
It cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and thus removes
one of the great causes of
baldness.
It makes a better circu
lation in the scalp and stops
the hair from coming out.
Ayer's Hair Vigor will
surely make hair grow on
bald heads , provided only
there is any life remain
ing in the hair bulbs. -
It restores color to grayer
or white hair. It does not
do this in a moment , as
will a hair dye ; but in a
short time the gray color
of age gradually disap
pears and the darker color
of youth takes its place.

MORE GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Order Issued for the Printing of Many
Twenties.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aug. 7 The
treasury department has made requsi-
tion upon the bureau of engraving and
printing for the printing of $10,000,000
gold certificates in denominations of
$20 each. The treasury now holds a
large unissued supply of certificates of
the larger denominations. It is the
evident intention of the treasury de
partment to be in a position to issue
gold certificates freely for gold coin ,
should the fall movement of currency
lead to a demand at the treasury for
gold certificates in exchange for gold
coin. It is to be noted that while gold
coins can be freely had in denomina
tions of fives and tens , the law restricts
the issue of gold certificates to denom
inations of $20 or multiples thereof.
It Is a debatable question , therefore ,
v/hether gold certificates will ade
quately meet the demand for money of
small denominations.

Lydia E. Pink-
bain's Vegeta
aty by ble Compound.
Soon after the
birth of iny first
child , I com
menced to have spells with my spine.
Every mouth I grew worse and a.t last
became so bad that I found I was
gradually losingmy mind.
' 'The doctors treated me for female
troubles , but I got no better. One
doctor told me that I would be insane.
I was advised by a friend to give Lydia.
E. Pinklunn's Vegetable Compound a
trial , and before L had taken all of the
first bottle my neighbor's noticed the
change in me.
"I have now taken five bottles and
cannot find words sufficient to praise it.
I advise every woman who is buffering *
from any female weakness to give it a.
fair trial. I thank you for your good
medicine. " MRS. GKKTIIUDE M. JOHN
SON , JONESUOKO , TKXAB.
Ulrs. Perkins * tetter.
"I had female trouble of all kinds ,
had three doctors , but only grew worse.
I began taking * Lydia E. Pinhham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills
and used the Sanative Wash , and cau-
aofc praise your remedies enough. "
