VITALIzE THE HAR.-Why does the hair be-
come harsh and dry-why does it fall out-why
does it become gray? Simply because the life
has gone out of it. The fibers draw susie
nance from the scalp as the grass draws ali
ment from the soil, and when the supply of nu-
trment is cut off in either case the product
withers and dies, AT the first symptom of de-
cay, therefore, the unfed and half-fed roots of
the hair should be refreshed and reinforced
with LYONS KATHAIRoN, the only preparation
which will. nourish the filaments, and keep
them in a vigorous condition after they have
begun to suffer from deficiency of their nat
ural stimulantg As long-as the Satharion is
faithfully used, with proper degree of friction
morning and evening, so long will it be impos-
sible for the hair to whiten or fall out from the
scalp. mar4-eod1w&w1t
