No More Grey Hair
You can easily avoid that most disquieting sign of age-grey hair by using BROUX' MIXTURE OR VENETIAN MIXTURE, WARRANTED HARMLESS
which imparts a natural colour, light brown, dark brown or black, and makes the hair soft and glossy. It is a perfect, cleanly and harmises stain, washable and lasting, most easy to apply. PARIS TOILET
