Prof o. ]. Woop: With confidence can recon-
mend your Ha Restorative being the most efics-
cious article ever saw. l have used the Wshpene
and many her preparations of the day, all to no ef
feet. Since using your Hair Restorative, my hair
and whist ers, which almost white, have gradu-
ally grown dark and now feel confident that few
more applications will restore them to their natural
color. It also has relieved me of all drndruf and
unpleasant itching, so common among persons who
perspire freely. J.G- klLBY.
