Will you please tell simple thing to cure
dandruH9 nave so much that my hair is coming
out and I am very anxious to it. Also please
tell me simple cure for blackheads for I also
badly troubled with them.-Mrs. V. S.
There is nothing better for the scalp than vasene
and if you mix 10 cents worth Of powdered quinine
with scent bottle Of vasene you will obtain a
very simple and effective salve for dandruf cure.
Rub the salve well into the scalp every night, taking
not to get it the hair, and massage the scalp
for about ten minutes night and morning.
For the blackheads keep the face clean by wash
ing it with water and placing hot cloths on
the skin and then changing to cold water and cold
cloths. While the skin is still soft press out the
blackheads and apply good skin food. Here is the
recipe for one that can be made at home: Half an
of spermaceti and white wax an ounce Of
cocoanut oil and of lanoline with two Of oil Of
sweet almonds. Melt these in an earthen dish set
pan of hot water, take from the fire and while
still add half each Of alcohol and
elder flower water and four drops Of tncture Of benz
zoin. Perfume with ten drops Of violet rose
tract and beat with wire egg beater until smooth
and creamy. Massage the cream well into the pores
Of the face. By keeping the skin clean and well fed
you will overcome the blackheads.
