A Hair z God

There is this peculiar thing
about our Hair Vigor: it's a
hair food, not dye. Il
doesn't turn your hair sud
denly black and make It look
dead and lifeless. But gradu-
ally the old color comes back
to your hair, all the rich,
dark color it used TO have.
And it stops falling of the hair.
Even if your hair isn't COM
ing out, isn't turning gray,
ism t too short, isn't in the least
unsatisfactory, yet you certainly
want a fine dressing for it.
You can't get anything better
than Ayers Hair Vigor. It
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, makes the hair grow
rapidly, prevents it from fall
ing out, and does not allow a
single gray hair to appear,
