You should never give advice. If
the person to whom you offer 1t is wise
he don't need it; if he isn't he won't

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to
it's youthful color.
It removes all eruptims, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and maxi
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

selected for excellent quality; and
