MRS. ALIENS

MRS. ALIENS
Hair Restorer & Zylobalsamum
Are so uniformly grateful and benef.
cial, that they are with justice called
the natural strengtheners of the human
hair. They are two entirely separate
and distinct preparations, not to be used
together at one time.
Mrs. Aliens Hair ResfOrer
Never fails to satisfy the most refined
and cultivated. Aguarantee goes with
every bottle, that it will quickly restore
gray or white hair to its original youth
full beauty, gloss and color; after its
use a few times the hair will grow
thicker and stronger. 1t will stop its
falling and induce healthy and luxu-
rant growth. 1t is an exquisite hair
dressing, agreeable, harmless and
healthy. Entirely different from most
other preparations for the hair, its COM
position and ingredients are nourishing,
giving life and vigor to the Roots.
Mrs. Allen" "ZylObalsamuln
This exquisite preparation is free
from any sediment, and is a toilet
treasure. The urgent want of a simple
Hair Dressing, for the youth of both
sexes, first induced the manufacture
of the Zylobalsamum, and the sale OF 1t
is perfectly immense, not only in this
country, but in Europe.
EXTRACTS FROM A FEW LETTERS.
"Your Zylobalsamum is used by every mem-
Der, young aud DID, Of our family, and We con-
slider it invaluable. Should any gray hairs
appear, we shall try your Hair Restorer, which
We hear very highly spoken Of"
Father and mother use your har hestore!,
and are delighted with it. 1t soon restored Their
gray locks to their youthful color, but daughters
and sou still find in the Zylobalaamum all 'her
hair requires.''
From the Principal Of one Of our large fer'di:
Semina aries. g Your Zylo6alsamum bas been
used for many years by myself and family, ana

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious TO the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a

nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
