gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often. though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclcs are de-
stroycd, or the glands atrophied and
deeayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that q new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
OF fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration Of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so u,.
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcletcrious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inil-
rious to tho hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING.
nothing else q be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lastre, and a grateful perfume.
