4 ERENEWER

Every year increases the populari-
ty ofthis 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 is the only reliable andperfect-
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and si}ken.
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 glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger" In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most Geo.
nolnical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PEEpA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
