Do YOU Use It?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cIeanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil IN
which the hair grows, and,
Just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
Il you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
