EXPERIENCE
Grew Hahr on a Bald Head
For two or three years my hair had been
falling out and getting quite thin Until the top {
of my head was entirely bald. About four B
months ago I commenced using Sage and Sul- '
phur. The first bottle seemed to do some good
and I kept using it regularly until now I have
used four bottles. The whole top of my heal
is fairly covered and keeps coming in thicker.
I ?hall keep on using it a while longer? as 1
notice a constant improvement.

Dr. Cook's Records.
(From the Philadelphia Record.)
It is quite possible that Dr. Fred?
erick A. Cook, the Arctic explorer,
having never been near the Pole, and
having too little knowledge of math?
ematics and navigation to enable him
to concoct data that would convince
Cie scientific world of the accuracy
of his disputed claim,' hired an ex?
pert to aid him in imposing upon the
learned professors of the University
?
of Copenhagen. But all things that
arc possible are not necessarily prob?
able.
If we are to leave out of consider?
ation the fact that Dr. Cook has pow?
erful enemies who have left no stone
unturned to discredit him, and the
I further fact that by their own con?
fession the authors of the newly
published affidavits against Cook are
deceivers and impostors, and if we
are to accept the affidavit at their
face value, we must believe:
1. That notwithstanding his
knoweldege that he was dogged by
detectives and surrounded by pit?
falls, Dr. Cook was fool enough to
accept tbe services of two volunteer
assistant charlatans, instead of seek?
ing out for himself tools fit for his
purpose upon whose fidelity and se?
crecy he could rely.
2. That he was fool enough to ac?
cept the word of one of these volun?
teers that the other was thorough?
ly trustworthy.
3. That after they had obtained a
hold upon him by "faking" observa?
tions for him, he was fool enough to
dodge the payment of tbe bulk of
the money he had promised them,
and thus certainly incur their enmi?
ty.
It is possible, but not probable,
that despite his previous experiences
as an explorer both In Alaska and In
the polar seas he is, as one of the
affiants declares, pitiably deficient In
the information most essential to his
calling, and without which he could
hardly have found his way to and
from the points he is conceded to
have reached. It is possible, but not
probable, that without having seen
Peary's narrative?which he could
not have seen in advance of the pub?
lication of his own?he could have
Invented a story of hitherto un?
known polar conditions which tallies
with marvelous accuracy with the
facts as Peary cites them. At any
rate, it is evident at this stage of
the polar controversy that Dr. Cook
is either the greatest and at the
same time the stupidest charlatan
who ever attempted to impose upon
j a sceptical world or he Is the victim
j of the most malignant and devishly
-enlous persecution that hatred
1 en\y could devise. It ought not
u be too much of a strain upon his
defenders and his defamers to sus?
pend final judgment for a week or so
more, at th expiration of which time
the Unievrsity of Copenhagen ought
to be able to definitely announce the
terms in which the name of Dr.
Frederick A. Cook shall be written
in history.
