A feeling of sadness ACCOMPANIES
the discovery of the first gray hairs

from the good impression youthful
appearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you are Cooking fit,
gives one courage to undertake and
accomplish things. So why suffer the
handicap Of looking old on account of
gray ha1rs, when a simple remedy will
give your hair youthful color and
beauty In a few days time2
Most people know that common gar
