Nothing can re- store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. It's occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent badness. Free from those deletericus sub stances which make some prepara- tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
