The l'rive of Victory
is perserverance and good judgment.
Good judgment is necessary in the selec
tion of that course or method to which the
energy and effort is to be applied in the
attainment of success. Perserverance is
often wasted by reasons of injudicious
methods. This applies to the purchase of
remedies, in the use of which people
waste more money and efforts than in
any other direction. The market is
flooded with extravagantly advertised
hair restorers, which if the advertise
ments were true, would grow hair in a
night, and on anything.
"Luxura" is a formula of the ablest
hair specialist in the world, Dr. Pincus.
of Germany, and backed by a guarantee
for the return of your money If it fails.
