th'a old, famous recipe, becauso no one
can possibly tell that you darkened your

evenly. You tlumpen a SongM or mitl
brush with it and draw it through your
hair, taking ine small strand at a lime:
by morning tha gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and gloaay and you look yeara younger.
