HOPES FOR THE BALD.

! There are yet hopes for the hald in spite of all medical opinion to the contrary. We have this on the authority of a parson, who may, and probably will, give the world the benefit of his "discovery," if sucli it .may be called. Rev. Charles Kent, who is _ rector and vicar of four parishes in Norfolk, was visiting a remote part of his .district when lie came across an old man who had been absolutely bald up to a aliort time ago, but who on this visit displayed a very respectable crop of hair. Mr Kent asked how the change was worked, and the old' man said: "I am troubled with rheumatism in my leg, and I rub this ointment on it, aiid afcer I had rubbed mv leg I wiped my hands on irff bald head, just to polish it up a bit. I found the hair beginning to grow, so I made .it a rule always to rub the ointment on my head after I had finished with my leg, and,_ as you see I have got a. head of 'hair after being bald for 30 years . The ointment has not done much good to mv rheumatism, but it has made my hair grow wonderfully." The rector was .so impressed with this remedy for baldness that he is meditating the making of an analysis of the ointment and then putting on the market a'patent wash to cure baldness. With the proceeds he proposes to go on with the work of restoration of an old collegiate , church which is at a standstill for want of funds.
