Thousands of folks recommend this

dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair; besides, no one can possibly tell,
as it darkens SO naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush with
it, drawing this through the hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, its natural color is
restored and it becomes thick, glossy and
lustrous, and you appear years younger.
