Every year increases the populazi-
ty Of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old pstrons ythat il II
kept fully up TO its high standard !;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GnAx:
OR FADED HAZE to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and sllken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes al efuptions
and dandruf, and, BY its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from 6lling
out, IS it stimulates and nourishee
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the cspill0y
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except IN
extreme old age. It is the most eco!
nomical HAZE DRxssIna ever used,
as it requires fewer applications;
and gives the hair . spleadid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, ND,
