Lost Hair

It's risky, this losing of
the hair. You may not get
it back again. When the
hair first begins to fall out
use Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t
will stop the falling and will
make new hair come in. And
it always restores color to
gray hair.
"My hair came out badly and was
fast turning gray. l tried Ayers Hair
Vigor. 1t stopped my hair from coming
out and completely restored the color"

it is to appeal to the General
