anco, havo been transformed Into a beautiful
park and arc now most oxqulsltoly beautiful.

abovo ordinary low tido In tho Fotomao. The
otal height from east base to the top of tho
temple covering tho domo Is 1!88 foet; tho
statute of thoGoddessof Liberty, lOJfi foot,

Bouse Is Been rearing Its enowy-hued walls
abovo tbo dense mass of foliage that em

the Capttol Is tho center of "Down-town."
It Is beautifully loeated, tho view from tho
south windows covering tho whole southern

bottles of Ayor's Ilnlr Vigor tuy luilr
grow thick nnd glossy and tlio original
color was restored." Mclvlu Altlrlch,
Canaan Contre, N. II.
" Somo tlmo ago I lost all my hair in
consequenco of measles. After duo
waiting, no now growth appealed. I
then used Ayer'a Hair Vigor nnd my
hair grow
Thick and Strong.
It lias apparently como to stay. Thn
Vigor is evidently a great aid to nature."
J. B. Williams, Floiosville, Texas.
"I havo used Aycr's Hair Vigor for
tho past four or flvo years anil find it a
most satisfactory dressing for tho hair.
It is all I could desire, being harmless,
causing tho hair to retain its natural
color, and requiring hut a small quantity
to render the hair easy to arrange "
Mrs. M. A. Bailoy, 9 Charles street,
Haverhill, Mass.
