Real Facts
About the Hair

mires. There is no a1tohoIin it, as alcohol
is said to make hair turn gray prematurely.
Birt's Head Wash IS made OF Refined
Soap, Cochin Cocoanut Oil, White Of
Eggs. Glycern and Salicylc Acid There
are no better things than these known
for cleansing the hair and scalp and any
doctor or druggist will tell you SO if you
ask him. Beware of using common soaps
and shampoos. They often contain too
much alkali, and that is one of the most
harmful things you can put on your head.
Even if you did wash your head or have a
shampoo yesterday, fill the basin with
lukewarm water tonight and wash your
head and hair with Birt's Head Wash.
You probably thought your head was
clean, but you'll be surprised to see what
Birts Head Wash has rid you of. All who
read this should make this test.
