It is fact well established by unques-
tionable testimony that Halls Hair Remover
renews, cleanses, brightens, invigorates and
restores to its original color and lustre,
faded gray or discolored hair, cheaply,
quickly and surely. The poorest people
prefer to buy it and use it, rather than to
proclaim in a manner more forcible than
words can delineate, through blanched locks
or grizzy beard, that they are aged and
passing to decay. A very short trial will
eradicate the scalp diseases which rob the
