Restore the uniform color of your
hair with the aid of Nature. Thousands
have done so and are proud of the re-
suit.
Science has made a great discovery.
of which you can now take advantage.
Years of laboratory work by expert
chemists have resulted in Q-Ban Hair
Color Restorer, the one preparation that
actually works hand in hand with Ma
ture in banishing gray hair in health
full way. Not patent medicine.
You simply apply Q-Ban and then ex-
pose your hair to the fresh air and pure
sunshine. Repeat this daily for a short
time and your hair will resume ma
tural color, evenly, gradually, safely
and surely. This is the way that the
scientists have summoned Nature and
her own best medicines to their aid and
yours. But beware of limitations as you
would of dyes. There is nothing like
Q-Ban.
Q-Ban is all ready to use-is guaran-

simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of the
stomach, causing the formation of gas
and acids.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and inflames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the excessive develop
ment or secretion of acid and the fer
mentation of food.
