Hair tonics or compositions for treating hair are generally used when hair is turning prematurely gray or is falling out. The causes are usually disease or malnutrition of the scalp. The first may be properly treated by suitable medication, while the latter will yield to correct feeding.

Practicalexperience in the use of my composition hereinafter described has demonstrated that by the use of my composition the hair is greatly strengthened, as well as the growth thereof promoted and likewise the turning of the hair gray prematurely greatly lessened, as well as removes d druff.
