TUE GREAT HAIR PRoprcER.
Oils, Pomatums and Peiuades have had
their day. They belong to the musty
past. Nobody that understands the chem
istry Of the hair and the philosophy of its
growth thinks Of using them. Instead Of
clogging the pores of the scalp with thick
ongueuts. and thus obs,rucsing the insen-
sible perspiration which is essential to the
health of the fibcrs. we now tone the sur
face of the head with an invigorating ap-
plication which penetrates to the roots Of
the hair and stimulates them in the same
way that the fertilixing agents spread over
the meadows stimulate the grass root. and
cause the-blades to spring up in myriads,
coating the earth with verdure. The in
vigorant best adapted to this purpose is
Irons kArnAiRox. It may well be cali
ed the fertilizer Of the head. To the bar
rem scalp il communicates vegetative pow
