DANDRUFF REMOVED AND HAIR
BEAUTIFIED. ,-zs

Chester, Pa, Dec. u, 1908.
Dear Mrs. Perkins: / really feel
it duty to write and let you know
the wonderful results have OBJ
tanned by the use of your scalp
treatment. / have not only found
it to be a dandruff remover, but it
is also a hair beautifier. 1t would
do you good to see how straight and
black my hair is since using your
treatment. OF the many prepara-
tons of this kind on the market,
yours seems to be the only one that
does what it claims. You certainly
have discovered the true secret Of
identifying the hair, and wish you
every success-and give you per-
mission to use this letter and my
name, if you like, as I feel that I
cannot too highly recommend it.
Wishing you merry Christmas and
a prosperous new year

ua HER,

Denver, Col, April %, 1909. T.
To Whom it May Concern: .,..
I find it a pleasure to say word
in praise of Madam Perkins, and her
remarkable success in scientific scalp
treatment.
Madam Perkins, for many years a
resident of Denver, is an active
member of Zion Baptist church, and
one of the most favorably known
women in our state The beautiful
hair of hundreds of women in our
city and other parts of the state is
tribute to her phenomenal success
in her profession. The wonderful
growth of her own hair is a most
remarkable testimo ny. 1 cheerfully
recommend her to all ladies who may
be interested in the growing and
beautifying of the hair.
Respectfully,
DAVID E. OVER,
Pastor Zion Baptist Church.

To the Public:
I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins
more than ten years and never knew
her to have hair more than two
inches long until the past three
years. I was more than surprised
when she took her hair down to
prove to me that is was all her own.
I put my scalp in her charge at once
and words can never express the
wonderful results of her treatment.
l have tried so many hair treat
ments that my hair was in a dread
full condition. Mrs. Perkins first
treatment proved beyond a doubt
her knowledge of the care of the
scalp. I trust every woman who
may read this will write Mrs. Per-
kins and secure a place in her class
for scalp treatment for beautifying
and growth of the hair. a.,4 al
