pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head q
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By it's tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
