Massage- -thn; is, vigorous rubbing night and morning combined with pinching the scalp between thumb and forefinger will help greatly. It that is done faithfully from early life, a man may, if he avoids- the stiff hat, not only preserve Hs hair but also retard or prevent its becoming gray. Shampooing the healthy scalp be- yond what is necessary for clennlines* once every week or fortnight is harmful. There is nothing better for the shampoo than tincture of green soap. After the washing, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed in cool or cold water, and then a very little yel- low vaseline or a mature of vaseline and lanolin should be rubbed into the roots. When the scalp has been neg- lected the hair may become dry and lack lustre. For that condition a pomade of equal parts of citrine oint- ment, yellow vaseline and lanolin is useful. A little of the mixture well rubbed into the roots at night once a week or so and washed out with a shampoo of tincture of green soap in the morning will often bring back the natural beauty of the hair.
