years. been becoming p:ematurely gray accOmpan-
led by hardness which rendered the constant ap-
pication of oil necessary in dressing it. When

months ago it in that condition; and having
continued its till within the last three weeks it
has turned to its natural color, and assumed soft
ness and lustro greatly to be preferred to those
produced by the application Of oils or any other
preparation have ever used. regard il as an in
dispensabe article for every lady's toilet, whether
to be used as a Hair Restorative for the simple
purpose of dressing or identifying the hair. Iou
