. Every year increases the rop,,lari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation
winch 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 only reliable and perfect
ed preparation 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. 1t removes I'LL eruptions
and dandruff, and, by it's tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
ont, 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 Il new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and / consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
