I tried many advertised hair preparations and various presi rlptl ns, but they all signally failed; many of them made my hair greasy so it was Impossible to comb it or do it up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were posi tively Injurious) and from my own exper ience I cannot too strongly caution you against using preparations containing wood alcohol and other poisonous substances. I believe they Injure the root, of the hair. Aft9r my long list of failures I finally found a simple prescription which I u.id with most remarkable resluts and 1 can unhesitatingly state that It Is beyond doubt the most wonderful thing for the hair I have ever seen. Many of my friends have also used It and obtained wonderful effects thenform It not only Is a powerful stim ulant to the growth of the hnlr and for re storing gray hair to its natural color, but It is equally good for removing dandruff, giv ing the hair life and brilliancy, etc., and for the purpose of keeping the scalp ln first-class condition. It also makes the hair much easier to comb and arrange In nice form. I have a friend who used it j two months and during that time It not only stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully Increased its growth, but It practically restored nil of his gray hair to Its natural color. You can obtain the in gredients for making this wonderful prep, aratlon from almost any druggist Tho prescription Is as follows: Bay rum, 6 oz. ; Menthol crystal, one half drachm; I.avona de Composeo, 2 oz.; To-Kalon perfume, I to 2 teaspoonf uls. Apply night nnd morning; rub thor oughly Into the scalp. Go to your druggists nnd ask for the eight-ounce bottle containing six ounces of Bay Bum, also one-half drachm of Menthol crystal, and for a two-ouce bottlo of l,a vona de Composeo. Mix the Ingredients yourself at your own home. Add the Men thol crystal to the Bay Rum and then pour In the I.avona de Cnmposee. and add the To-Kalon perfume. l,et it stand for one half hour and It Is ready to use.
