it tightly cCrked. Apply 10 the hair
night and morning, rubbing it into
the scalp with q piece of sponge or
soft flannel.
For effectually cleansing the hair,
fine tooth-comb- may be passed
through it once IN twenty-fOur hours,
in order to keep it from tangling,
separating the hairs carefully and
repeatedly, so as to allow the air to
pass freely through them for several
minutes, but never scraping or
scratching the scalp with the
comb. a moderately hard brush may
then be used 10 stimulate the roots Of
the hair, and tor cleansing the scalp.
Upon retiring, il is advisable to part

Where the hair is naturally dry,

injurious. All very greasy hair re-
quires great care 10 keep it Gle n, and
the preparation of CamphOr an
