Fraudulent Hair Remedies.

In the Cosmopolitan Magazine for
February, 1909. there is long article
on the Hair and Scalp by Woods
rcnown and in it ne says: The
strongest and most powerful curative
element of SYMPHONIES and hair re-
storcrs is their smell, and the next
powerful is their color. Most of them
are frauds. pure and simple. and pro-
duce no effect whatever except upon
the imagination and the nostrilS of the
users The most common constituent
of them all is alcohol. and the next
common probably ammonia or some
aromatic oil or extract which has the
double advantage of a powerful odor
and of producing a mild sense Of
warmth and local irritation. All of
this class are mild irritants to the skin
and produce a light temporary
reddenng by an increase in the
amount OF blood circulating through
the scalp: but this has about as much
effect on the hair bulbs as the beams
of the harvest moon have upon grow
ing cabbages" The public is learning
that falling hair. itching scalp and
dandruff cannot be cured by these
fakes and frauds; but that the only
sure way to benefit the hair and scalp
is to keep them clean and free from
dust and disease germs For this
purpose Burt's Head Wash, the new,
scientific preparation, Is most highly
recommended because it is made OF
Refined Soap, White of Eggs, Cochin
Cocoanut Oil Gycerine and Salicylic|
Acid Any doctor will tell you there
are no better things known than these
for cleaning the hair and scalp.
