other New York gentleman has lost his
life as a result of over indulgence i'll the |
hair dye habit. This habit is nov sap
ping the life blood of many and sowing
the seeds of death throughout our entire
land.
The hair itself is not improved by
dyeing as an Indian is. The Indian,
prior to dying. is disagreeabIe and an
moving, but afterward he at once becomes
dOcile and harmless. The hair when
dyed becomes rough, and if colored a

Those who black their hair as rule do
not comb it as much as thev should for
