Do your friends of I the same age show this loss | of power also? I Just remember that gray I hair never becomes darker I without help, while dark hair I Sy becomes gray when I the change begins. B P jj|r I* will bring back to your hair the color of youth. It never fails. It is just as sure as that heat melts snow, or that water quenches fire. It cleanses the scalp also ' and prevents the formation of dandruff. It feeds and nourishes the bulbs of the hair making them produce a luxuriant growth. It stops the hair from falling out and gives fa tine soft rinish to the hair as well.
