Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, 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 on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. Hremoves all eruptions and
dandrufB and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishcs
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal rigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica,
tons, and gives the hair q splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and consider it
