A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting If the locks were short and
scanty. 1t is almost as serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or 10 faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess In stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruf, and re
storing the lost color. to gray. or faded
tresses. DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. 1t makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cieanses the scalp of dandruh, and
gives the hair thickness and gloss that
no C lher preparation can produce.
