Gently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,

u ounce Of glycerine. These IN
gradients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost, or the drug

twenty years younger. This is not a
dye, it does not color the most deli
cate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off,"
