Hair Vigor restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray lxair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black,a» may be desired, „ By ite use light or red hair may be darkened, j thin hair thickened, and baldness often, .. though not always, cured. It checks falling of the hair, and stlniu- _ lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It t prevents and cures scuvf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the Bcalp. As a Ladles' Hair Dressing, the VIGOR is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dyo, reuders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, aud lasting j>eifuine. MR. C. P. BRIORGR writes from JCirby, O.. Juli/ 3, 18*:! : " Last fall my hair coinnienced falling out, and in a short time I became - nearlv bald. 1 used part of a bottle of AYER'S HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall­ ing of the hair, ami started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigor- ouslv, and Am convinced that but for tlio . use of your preparation 1 should have been ; entirely bald." " •T. W. BOWEV, proprietor of the RfcArthw (Ohio) Enquirer, says : "AVER'S HAIR \ IOOB is a most excellent preparation for the hair. ' 1 speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes tlie growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The \ IGOR is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within niy knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." MR. Axors FATRBAIR*. lender of the celebrated " Fairbairu Family " of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Huston, Mass., Ftb.6, 1S80 : " Ever since my hair began to give sil- - very evidence of the change which Meeting ;• time procuretli, I have used AVKU'S HAIR * VIGOR, and so have been able to maintain ' an appearance of youtlifulness--a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora­ tors, actors. and in f.-ict every one who lives in the eyes of the public." ,, MRS. O. A. PnEsroTT, writing from IS Elm \ _ fit., ( Ifir/i xtnirn, Mass.. April 14, 18.XJ, savs:^_ •' Two veal's ago ubout two-thirds of my lnilr *" came off. It thinned very rapidly, and i was fast growing bald. On using AYICR'S HAIR Vioi'R the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It lias continued to grow, and is n<>w as good as before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle of tlie VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR. It needs but a trial to convince tlxe most skepti­ cal of its value. \ PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.Ayer&Co., Lowell, Mats.
