Williamson Greenwood. maril-ttf vkimr i This ia an age of inquiry and people are beginning to realize the magnitude of the jvU caused by the use of injurious compounds Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced into market, by men who are not practical physicians, ana who may not be aware of the injury they are producing. These prepara tions have been analyzed by competent chem ists, and shown to contain poisonous sub stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par alysis, and often fatal results. In contrast with such injurious articles, we call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared by Dr. R. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos ton Medical Institute, who has been a suc cessful physician in Boston for more than a quarter of a century. Dr. Greene uses Veg etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub lic that this Hair Restorer will do all that is claimed for it, without a possibility of injury. l have tested a sample of Dr. Greene’s Hair Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or injurious matters exist in it. C. T. JACKSON, State Assayer.” The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty five years has tested its superiority as a dress ing, and its power to preserve the hair and scalp in a healthy condition. It remove* dandruff, prevents the hair from falling off, preserves its natural color, restores it when prematurely gray, rendws it soft and glossy, promotes its healthy growth, and is the best dressing ever discovered. While other prep arations are sold at almost any price, Dr. Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good qualities, its price, and its reputation. It is prepared by Dr. R. Greene at the Medical In stitute, 34 Temple Place, Boston, and sold at $1 per bottle, or six for $5, or sent by *x press to any part of the country. Pamphlet sent free. Address Dr. R.
