phJM /i g* Do You Use It? It’s the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to 1 his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to promote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It rei moves dandruff, cleanses the •calp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nourished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
