TO TITE LADIZS.
panill4 lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
the on Aug. Reader, remember, this letter was put lot
lAner by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
=ltY of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinastone, of the Herbary, High-
Cate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
-7.101Y restored the hal r on her head, after using it about four months,
the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than
Ivor was before the baldness appeared.
R„'„,' lirs• Weekley inserts this testimony to virtues of Mr. G.'s
enator, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase
'ln II
s• bottle if they were as certain of its 'virtues as she is, from ex-
tr„
ißence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
b. but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it[ far
tacr)nd any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
Y of rc,pectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ale w
ar
°._P't on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
o
Int the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
,Vrent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
4.1. r. brilliancy, causing it to curl.
lhe Most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
Zat aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
dour to removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
Cog, grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hrou In most cases relief is certain in ten minus. It produces
