Produces Luxuriant Hair, Prevents its Falling Off and Turning Grey. Unequalled for Promoting the Growth of the Beard & Moustache. WORLD-RENOWNED REMEDY for BALDNESS...Preserving, Strengthening, and rendering the Hair Beautifully Soft; for Removing Scurf, Dandruff...Restoring Grey Hair to its Natural Colour...Physicians and Analysts pronounce it to be devoid of any Metallic or other Injurious Ingredient...a cooling, refreshing, and fragrant preparation...applied regularly to the hair, will soothe and restore it to its wonted thickness...[and] bring back its lost lustre. Many of the so-called hair restorers are distinguished by an unpleasant greasiness, much disliked, whilst in other cases the preparations contain ingredients which, though beneficial for the time being, do much ultimately to permanently destroy the hair, and very often cause injury to the brain...Lady's Realm.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
