But let no woman with weak wrists
and limp arms try this treatment"
says the first woman, unless she has a
strong and willing proxy. Neither will
q lazy or impatient person get good
weeks before improvement may bs
looked for.
In the way of tools, two hail
brushes, with firm but not harsh bris-
ties, are absolutely necessary. The only
tonic required may be bought for Ia
cents. Don't take any scented emol1
lient, but buy Of an honest druggist the
well known lanolin, an unpatented ar,
ticle, nearly as cheap as lard, n as
old as Cleopatra, who is said to havs
owed the preservation Of her youth and
beauty to it's use. 1t is extracted from
Sleeps wool by an art which, aftet
having been lost for centuries, was re,
discovered about fourteen years age
by a German professor, who is prob
ably going about with q shiny pate,
While women are improving hair and
complexion by the use Of his discov-
cry.
Before applying the lanolin see that
the scalp n hair are clean. If not
convenient to have the head sham-
pooed, wiring a wash cloth out of ans
moniated water and use briskly, rins-
ing several times, and finishing with
dry, coarse towels.
Mix the lanolin with a soupcon o,
vaseline or olive oil to make it less
salve-like, and apply with the tips OF
the fingers, using both hands for the
purpose. Divide the hair into four
parts and rub the ointment into the
roots, beginning at the forehead and
working from the middle to the sida
partings. Then begin at the back and
work up. Use little ointment, but
plenty of brisk massage. If the treat
ment is given with sufficient care there
should be little greasiness anywhere
but on the scalp, but If the anolin is
applied at night it will be well to pros
tect the pillow slip. The two brushes
must be used in the morning, after
first combing the hair well. Take q
brush in each hand, divide the front
hair, comb it up, begin in the center
and brush upward fifty strokes, giving
a second's time to each stroke. Treat
both sides in the same way. The back
may be one all at once, fastening the
long hair on top and brushing it sep
arately at the end. Hair that is MOI
straight as a poker will become wavy
if these instructions are literally fol-
lowed. Ten minutes brushing every
morning is sufficient, and the exercise
is excellent. When the need for the
emollient ceases the brushing may be
done at night, and clean brushes are
an important part of the treatment
They should be washed in warm wa
ter, packs and all, at least once a week
""Too fatiguing,' Too much trouble,
many will say but if the directions arc
strictly followed for the time mentioned
no persuasion viii be needed to con-
tinue. Fifty strokes with a hair brush
take less than one minute, and the hair
that Is brushed out is dead stuff thai
needs to come ava to make room for
the new growth, which will be seen to
start on a bare spot like fuzzy down or
a tiny chick"
