EDWARD PAYsoS WESTON, the world
renowned pedestrian, made his first
appearance in the town which bears
his name. It's needless to entor into

everybody who reads a newspaper has
become familiar with his reputation.
His walk from Maine to Illinois, in so

It's high standard and it is tho on

ton for restoring GRAY on FADED

it soft, lustrous, and silkcn. Tho

out, as it stimulates and nourislics

In badness, it restores the capillary
