Those who prizo a beautiful head of hair (and wa know our lady frieuds all do.) will thank us tor a few words on the iu valuable quali ties of Ayeh's Ilxia Vtuoii as a dress ing. In our own case it heals a buuior, keeps the head free from dandruff and seurf, stops the tendency ofourhairto fall, and heightens its beauty. A slight touching with it removes the coarse and dry appcaraoco which negleoted bair puts on, imparts a rich gloss, and makes us presentable in the most fashionable company. Such rare qualifications, pre sented in a single preparation, create it as enduring value; but add to these .he faculty of restoring to grey looks their youthful color, and maintaining our good looks with so small an expen diture of time and attention, and you stamp it prime favorite with the publio, and ensue its permanent and enduring popularity.
