Reware of air-Washes.

Ladies' fair ladies, beware Of hair-washes. a
medical friend informs me that II has lately
been discovered that the active ingredient OF
all washes for subduing gray hair is lead
which, uniting gradually with the natural sui.
phur Of the hair, forms black suphuret OF
lead which is really the darkcning agent We
all know how delctcrious and even fatal Is the
application of lead in any chemical shape to
the pores of the human body what then, must
I've the mischief produced by its being continu
ousy and often daily rubbed into the delicate
skin of lady's scalp? Here, however, is a
practical illustration, vouched for by Mr.
Brownficld of Norwich The wash has been
used for two years but only very moderately
and during all that time there was general
,palaise and loss of muscular power About
three months since, two days after an etfeCtua!
application of the wash, a slight epileptic III
occurred. and six weeks afterward similar ap
plicstion WAS followed by palsy Of the cxten
sor muscles of the left hand In this case
probably another dose might have produced
paralysis, but by this time suspicion WAS ar
oused and by the steady application of anti
dotes the symptoms are now disappearing
The profits of selling these washes are said to
be so tempting that since the secret of the dark
eninp agent has oOZed out numerous hair
dressers, both in town and country, are manu-
featuring them and pressing them upon their
customers.-L London World.
