therefrom. 1t not only is pow

hair to its natural color. but IL is
equally good for removing dand-
ruff, giving the hair life and bril-
liancy. etc. and for the purpose of
keeping the scalp in first class
condition. 1t also makes the hair
easier to comb and arrange In nice
form. i have a friend who used ii
two months and during that time 1t

his hair and wonderfully increased
Its growth. but 1t practically re-
stored all of his hair to its natural
