luXuriant hair, if she desires to pre- serve it's attractive appearance. And those whom nature has not endowed as plentifully should give yet more time and attention to that which they have. and by intelligent and careful treatment increase it's growth and keep it soft, glossy and beautiful for all time.
 When the blood circulateiOn is inn pairsd the hair becomes dry and loses it's color, the scalp action Sbecomes sluggish, weakened and debilitated and the hairs fall freely. Then it is time to use something more fOrcful than a mere application. Manipula- tive treatments given in an intelli- gent manner will work wonders. How ever, one may be so situated as to be unable to obtain professional serv- ice, therefore. with an especially pre- pared tonic one can treat ones own hair in a very satisfactory way by following a series of movements which l have formulated for the pur- pose. These movements when intelli- gently practiced will induce a flow of blood over the entire scalp and create renewed activity, the capilla- ries will perform their proper func- tions, oil cells. tissues, glands and in a few weeks time the hair will cease to fall and will become soft and glossy.
 The movements here described are a series of maunipulations for home treatment which have been practiced by out of town patients with more or less success. Success in this matter, as in most things pertaining to this life, depends upon ones perseverance, and I advise those who lack that qualification not to make the attempt as spasmodic efforts are worse than none at all. Regularity in the time for treatments, say fifteen minutes morning or evening, will produce wonders in the way of improving the hair When one begins this prac- tice it will be found that it requires time and patience to arouse the cir culation and make the scalp jingle, but in a few weeks time ones pa tience will be rewarded and then the first movement will start the blood in circulation. That tells its own story. for where the blood circulates freely, there life is renewed.
 Commence the movements by plac- ing the grouped finger tips at each side of the head in front of the ears, gently but firmly rotate upwards until the fingers meet at the crown. Repeat several times.
 Second movement: Clasp the hands flatly on top of head, move a number of times from one side toward the other in a line parallel with the shoulders. Hold the scalp firmly and be careful not to strain or pull the hair: move the scalp, not the hair. Three to five minutes is sufficient for the exercise of this movement.
 When the scalp is very thin it de- notes deficiency of tissues and blood vessels. Tissue and blood circulation are as essential to hair growth as soil and moisture are to plant life. To use a movement to increase the thickness of the scalp is a proper. preventive of a shedding. The above movement will also render the scalp flexible.
 The third movement describes a method of stimulating the roots by graSping a lock of hair close to the scalp and gently. but firmly. pulling in a rather jerky manner. This is the simplest. and perhaps the best, means of stimulating the hair roots and follicles that one can use in the practice of self treatment. Begin at the front of the head. going all over, and finish at back. The object is
