It inducoe a healthy netion of the acalp and nourishes the Hair, Dandruff never appears whilst it is in use. It con tains none but the best ingredients, and the greatest care is taken in the com pounding. When the Hair falls off after fover or any other sickness, this Wash will surely prove of the greatest value.

DIRECTIONS.
A small portion to be poured upon the Head, sad to be rubbed into the roula of the Hair. No Pomade required.
From its great nourishing power on the follicles it may in time canse Hair to return to its natural color; it, however, does not contain a particle of any, dyeing ingredient. Using it constantly will most certainly pre- Fout the Hair falling. It is cleanly in use, the smallest countity sufficing. It has no sediment, and therefore requires no shaking.
