Il M properly think that many Of the things
I tried were positively injurious. and from my

YOU against using preparations containing wood

my long list of failures I finally found a simple
prescription which used with most remarkable
results and I can unhesitatingly state that it is
bevond doubt the most wonderful thing for the
hair have ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used It and obtained wonderful effects
therefrom. 1t not only is powerful stimulant
to the growth OF the hair. and for restoring
gray hair to its natural color but it is equally
good for removing dandrun giving the hair life
and brilliancy, etc. and for the purpose of keep

makes the hair much easier TO comb and
range in nice form I have friend who used it
two months and during that time it not only
stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully
increased it's growth, but it practically restored
all his gray hair to its natural color. You can
obtain the ingra dients for making this wonder
ful preparation from almost any druggist The
prescription is as follows:
Bay rum. 6 ozs: Menthol crystals one half
drachm; Lavona de Composee, ozs.; To-Kalon
perfume, i to > teaSpoOnfulS.
Apply night and morning; rub thoroughly
into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for an eight
ounce bottle containing six ounces of bay rum;
also one-half drachm of Menthol crystals. and
for two-ounce bottle OF Lavona de COmpOsee-
