I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling bair. I tried many adver- tised hair preparations and various pres scriptions, 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 positively injurious and from my own experience 1 cannot too strongly caution you against using preparations containing wood alcohol and other poisonous substances. I be lieve they injure the roots of the hair. After my long l'st of failures, I finally found a simple prescription which I can unhesitatingly state is beyond fount the most wonderful thing for the hair I have ever seen. Many of my friends have also used it, and obtained wonderful effects therefrom. It not only is a powerful stimulant to the growth of the hair and for restoring gray hair to its natyral color, but it is equally good for removing dandruff, giving the hair life 'and brilliancy; ete, and for the purpbse of keeping the scalp in first-class cogdition. It also makes the hair easier to comb and ar- range in nice farm. 1 have a friend who used it two months and during that time it has not only stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully in> creased its growth, but it practically restored all of his hair to its natural color. You can obtain the ingredients for making this wonderful preparation from almost any druggist. he pre- scription is as follows: Bay Rum, § ez.; Me o] Crystals, 1.2 osee, 2 oz.
