But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with g pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vi gorous. 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
