The meaning of the "ss," seen In

Many have inquired the use of the'

lias got Into the newspapers. A cor
respondent of tho St. Louis Qlobe-

Iecided that the symbol is derived

IFOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a mott agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless aud effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By hs use thin
ta hair is thickened, and baldness often
tiwugn not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, aud causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitaUty
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Viaon cleanses the scalp, cures anc.
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, aud soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors aud diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, .
The Vioob is incomparable. It Is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an.
; agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical aud
unsurpassed in its excellence.
