Who formerly resided in Connecticut, but
ho now resides m Honolulu, writes : "For
20 years past, my wife
and 1 have used Ayer's
Hair Vigor, and we
attrihutt! to it the dark
hair which she and I
now have, while hun
dreds of our acquaint
ances, ten or a dozen
years younger than we,
are either gray-hended,
white, or bald. When
asked how our hair has
retained its color and
fullness, we reply, ' P.y
the use of Ayer's Hair
Vigor nothing else.'"
"In 1808, my affianced
was nearly bald, and

every
day. I
i n d u ced
her to use
Ayer's Hair Vigor, and very soon, it not
only checked any further loss of hair, but
produced an entirely new growth, which has
remained luxuriant and glossy to this day.
I can recommend this preparation to all in
need of a genuine hair-restorer. It is all
that it is claimed to be." Antonio Alarrun,

The glow of health and the charm of

bility and sleeplessness. Strength is re
newed, energy returns, and beauty again
blooms. It is purely vegetable and pei
fectly harmless. Druggists have it.
