Does any know,a neighbor orfriend who was
Bald, and whose head is now covered with
fine hair? One whose coat collar was CO.

ry hour-which is now vanished entirely.
Or one whose hair at an early age were
turning grey, who now has not a gray

cred with acurf,-whose hair would not
grow, that are now growing the fullest

known TO most persons. Ask them the
