To Grow Hair on a
 Bald Head
By n Specialist

Thousands of people suffer from badness and falling hair who, having tried nearly every advertised hair tonic and hair grower without results. have resigned themselves to badness and ifs attendant discomforts. Yet their case is not hopeless; the following simple home prescription has made hair grow after years of badness, and is also un- equaled for restoring gray hair to its original color, stopping hair. from fall ing out, and for destroying the dan druff germ. It will not make the hair greasy. and can be put up by any chemist: Bay Rum 6 ounces, Lavona de Composee 9 ounces. Menthol Crystals # drachm. If you wish 1t perfumed add half to one teaspoonful of ToKalon Perfume. which unites perfectly with the other ingredients. This preparation is highly recommended by physicians and specialists, and is absolutely harm less, as 1t contains none of the poison ous wood alcohol so frequently found In hair tonics. Do not apply to the face or where hair is not desired.
 The above ingredients are all stand ard and are kept by almost any up-to- date drug store. Collier Drug company, for instance. state that they are sQbliged to fill tfiis prescription many
 rnes each week and that all of their Patrons have reported the greatest de- Free of satisfaction.
