al years, been becoming prematurely gray, accom-
panied by a harshness which rendered the constant
application Of oil necessary in dressing it. When

two months ago, it was in that condition; and
having continued its use till within the last three
weeks, it has turned to its natural color, and as,
sumed a ~soitncss and lustre greatlyto be preferred
to those produced by the application of oils or any
other preparation l have ever used. / regard it al
an indispensable article for every lady's toilet
whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or fol
the simple purpose of dressing or identifying thu
hair. You have permission to refer to me all who
entertain any dJubt Of its performing all that it
