_Dear Doktor Hirsute_:--I reseaved a tin cup ov yure "Hair purswader,"
also a bottle ov yure "Salvashun Bitters," bi express, for which, I
express my thanks.
The greenbak, which yu enklozed waz the kind ov purswader that we ov the
press fully understand.
Yur hair grease, shall hav a reglar gimnastik puff, jist az soon az i
kan find a spare time.
I tried a little ov it on an old counter brush in my offiss, this
morning, and in 15 minnitts, the brussells grew long az a hosses tale,
and i notis this afternoon, the hair begins tew cum up thru, on bak ov
the brush, 'tis really wonderful! 'tis almoste Eureka! I rubbed a drop
or two on the head ov mi cane, which haz bin bald for more than 5 years,
and beggar me! if I don't hav to shave the cane handle, evry day, before
I can walk out with it.
I hav a verry favrite cat, she iz one ov the Hambletonian breed ov cats,
and altho she iz yung, and haint bin trained yet, she shows grate signs
ov speed.
I thought I would just rub the corck ov the bottle on the floor, in the
corner ov the room whare the cat generally repozes.
The consequents waz, sum ov the "purswader" got onto the hair ov the
cat's tale.
When the cat aroze from her slumbers she caught sight ov her tale, which
had growed tew an exalted size; taking one more look at the tale, she
started, and bi the good olde Moses! sich running; across the yard! over
the fence! up wun side ov an apple tree! and down the other! out into
the fields, away! away! The laste i saw ov the cat, she waz pretty mutch
awl tale.
