BUCK 10 NATURE TO RESTORE GRAY HI Don't Use Dyes Sunshine and Air and Q-Ban Brings Back Natural Color in Simple, Easy Way. Nature knows best, after all. Nature ] provides her remedies that even the I greatest human minds find It hard to < rival. But master scientists and chem- ! Ists have now found how to take ad vantage of tliis fact—how to make Na ture help In performing what seems al most a marvel in restoring the actual, natural color to gray or faded hair, evenly, permanently, safely—without the use of dangerous, dirty, sticky dyes or paints. Chemical experts perfected Q-Ban Hair Color Restorer after many years of study. This preparation works in harmony with Nature in a wonderful way. All you need do Is wet your hair with Q-Ban —which is not a dye—and | then expose it to tho good, pure, free i air and sunshine. Repeat tills daily for a little time and your hair will re turn evenly and gradually to its origi nal. uniform shade. It will be glossy, lustrous, soft, abundant and beautiful. Remember. Q-IJan does not pretend to work instant miracles. Such claims belong to dyes. But it is certain, safe and sane, Q-Ban is not a patent medi cine. The secret of Q-Ban's matchless re. j pults rests in a process of oxidation, from the oxygen in the air, which is ) brought about by exposure to the air and sunshine after Q-Han has been ap- I plied. It is in this way the scientists s have summoned Nature to their aid and I yours, Q-l!an Restorer is all ready to use. It is guaranteed to be as harmless as Na- i ture herself. It is the only guaranteed i preparation of the kind and is sold un der guarantee of your money back if I not satisfied A large bottle for 50c. For sale at Geo. A.
