The First Gray
Hair Sign OF Age.

a harmless remedy, made from COM

gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
it's color and lustre, is just as impor-

for cosmetics and creams to improve
the complexion, and yet neglect your
hair, when gray hair is even more
conspicuous and suggestive of age
than wrinkles or a poor complexion?
OF the two it is easier to preserve the
natural color and beauty of the hair
than it is TO have good complexion.
