DIRECTIONS,

A small portion to be poured upon the Head, and to be rubbed into the roots of the Esir. No Pomade required.

From its great nourishing power on the follicles it may in time cause 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- vent the Hair falling. It is cleanly in use, the smallest quantity authcing. It has no sediment, and therefore requires no shaking.
