FRANK LESLIES A ROCKING CHAIR WITHOUT ROCKERS The reception Rocking Chairs sold by Terry Wells. No 652 Broadway stand on castors and rock without rockers. They are made in all the various styles of the ordinary arm chairs now used in parlors and chambers and present a similar appearance. The rocking movement can be stopped by a catch aud the chair held rigidly either upright or at any inclination desired.

This makes them very convenient for invalid chairs for which pur pose certain es of them have been found very satisfactory. As a library or study chair admit ting as they do of easy change of position they relieve the fatigue of protracted sitting. They are peculiarly appropriate as a present to an aged parent or invalid friend. The entire absence of rockers which wear carpets so injariously and are ever in the way is the ene great feature of tuis new inventicn DELIGHTFUL We have recently had occasion to use a bottle of CocoarNE and can well afford from the benefit derived by its use to add our testimony to that of hundreds of others as to its efficacy.

It answers the purpose of a perfume for the hair.
