As FP, Mirenenr?: Ayer’s | Hair Vigor, | FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS | NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. | Ir is a most agreeable dressing, which | is at once harmless and effectual, for pre- | serving the hair. It restores, with the | gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, | light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin | hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, ’or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vicor cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formaticn of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies’ Hair The Vigor is incomparable. It is color- less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and | unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
