Its productive powers are wonderful in the extreme; it causes the Hair to grow on the Smoothest Chin or the Baldest Head, and imparts to the Hair softness and luxuriance never before at- tained. Eminent uthorities have « sed their entire approval of the valuable yet - perfectly harmless ingred- ients of which the BERORDNUNG is composed. In an age like this, when those without beard or moustache are desig- nated boys, and scanty eyebrows or eyelashes, so unproductive of admiraton in the fair sex, AYRTON'S ASIATIC BERORDNUNG should be regarded as a heaven- sent blessing and universally adopted.

WHY ARE YOU NOT A CHRISTIAN ? Is it because you are afraid of ridicule and what others may say to you ? " Whosoever shall be ashamed of ME and of MY WORDS of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed."— Luke ix. 26. Is it because you are not willing to give up all for Christ ? " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ? "— Mark viii. 36. Is it because you are thinking that you will do as well as you can, and that God will be satisfied with that ? " Whosoever shall keep the whole law and vet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."— Jas. ii. 10. Is it because you are postponing the matter without any definite reason V " Boast not thyself of to- morrow, for thou knowest not Avhat a day may bring forth. 1'— Prov. xxvii. 1.
