HOW | MADE
MY HAIR GROW
Woman with Msrvelously Beautiful Hair
Gives Simple Home Prescription which
She Used with Most Remarkable Re-
suits.

I was greatly troubled with daudruff and
falling hair. l tried many advertised hair
preparations and various prescriptions, but
they all slgnally failed; many Of them
made my hair greasy so Il was impossible
to comb il or do it up properly. l think
that many Of the things l tried were posi-
lively Injurious and from my own exper-
fence l cannot too strongly caution you
against using preparations containing wood
alcohol and other poisonous substances. l
believe they inJure the roots OF the hair.
After my long list of failures l finally
found a simple prescription which / used
with most remarkable results and | can
unhesitatingly state that IL is beyond doubt
the most wonderful thing for the hair |
have ever seen. Many Of my friends have
also used 1t and obtained wonderful effects
thereform 1t not only Is a powerful slim
ulant to the growth of the hair and for re-
storing gray hair to its natural color, but il
is equally good for removing dandruff. Civ
ing the hair life and brilliancy, etc, and
for the purpose OF keeping the scalp in
first-class condition. 1t also makes the
hair much easier to comb and arrange in
nice form. l have a friend who used it
two months and during that time IL not
only stopped the falling of his hair and
wonderfully increased its growth, but It
practically restored all Of his gray hair TO
its natural color. You can obtain the in
gradients for making this wonderful prep
aration from almost any druggist. The
prescription is as follows:
Bay rum, 6 or; Menthol crystal, one.
half drachm; Lavona de Composee. . o.;
o-Kalo perfume. l to 2 teaspoonfuIs.
Apply night and morning; rub thor
oughly into the scalp.
Go to your druggists and ask for the
eight-ounce bottle containing six ounces OF
Bay Rum, also one-half drachm of Menthol
crystal, and for a two-ource bottle of La
vona de Composee. Mix the ingredients
yourself at your own home. Add the Men.
thol crystal to the Bay Rum and then pour
in the Lavona de Composed. and add tho
To-Kalon perfume. Let it stand for one
half hour and it is ready to use.
