Making a ouinine Hair Tonic.
r(By Mabel Graham.

There is no preparation as good for
the hair and scalp as quinine hair
tonic when properly made. but most
people object to the very high price
that this preparation costs.
/ find that can overcome this OBJ
lection by making my own quinine
hair tonic simply get from my drug
store. one ounce of beta-quinol (liquid)
in original package and half pint OF
alcohol. then mix the alcohol with
half pint of water (warm water pre-
ferred) and add the beta-quinol, or you
can use one pint of Bay rum In place
of the alcohol and water. after stand
ing for few hours 1t is ready for. use
find this even better than the high
priced articles and full pint only
costs me 65 to rs cents.
This excellent hair tonic used daily
where there is dandruff or falling hair
will cure the dandruff and stop the
falling hair, after week or two you
will find once or twice week suffi
cient to keep the scalp In perfectly
healthy condition. This strengthens
the roots of the hair, giving the hair
life and brilliancy. If you follow my
advice you will soon have long, beau
tiful hair and plenty of it.
