young woman's Hair Turned white,

A Portland young lady received few
days ago a letter from friend who ap-
pealed for aid in finding something to re-
store the blackness of her hair. The
friend had suffered almost unendurably
from neuralgia in the head and had tried
many Wanted RENE dies Finally she
was advised to have her hair shaved or
cut extremely close, and adopted this
desperate measure. The result of the
experiment has. been that with its re-
newed growth the hair is appearing per-
fectly white, though it had been previously
very dark, and the wearer is terribly
chagrined at the unexpected change The
effect upon the neuralgia was favorable.
