It prevents it from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak hair, cleans it from scurf and dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft, pliable, and glossy. In the growth of THE BEARD, WHISKERS, AND MUSTACHIOS it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair.
