s.szRENEWER
Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
Or FA1ED HAZE to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glsnds. By Its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands TO their normal vigor, and
viii create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DREssIEG ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayerof Massachusetts, says,
aThe constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

hairi IS thickened. falling hair checked,
and badness oftsn, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclss are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrcphied and
decayed; but such as remain can b
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity. 50 that a new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouiing the hair with pasty sedi-
ment it win keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
FROM turning gray or falling Of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration Of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which Is often 20 un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
come preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious TO the hair, the Figor can only
benefit but not harm it If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found 80 desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, il does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
