HOW TO DESTROY
THE DANDRUFF GERM
BY A SPECIALIST

That the dandruff germ is responsible
for nearly all the diseases to which the
scalp is heir, as well as for badness and
premature gray hair, is a well known
fact. but when we realize that ii is also
indirectly responsible for many Of the
worst cases Of cataTrh and consumption.
we appreciate the importance of any agent
that will destroy its power We are,
therefore, particularly pleased to give
herewith the prescription which an emil
nent scientist states he has found, after
repeated tests, to completely destroy the
dandruf germ in from one to three appli-
cations 1t will also almost Immediately
stop falling hair and it has in numerous
cases produced a new hair growth after
years of badness. This prescription can
be made up a home, or any druggist
will put 1t up for YOU Six ounces of
Bay Rum, ounces Lavona de Compose.
one-half drachm Mentho Crystals Mix
thoroughly, and after standing a half
hour it is ready for use Apply night and
morning, rubbing into the scalp with the
finger tips If you wish it perfumed,
add one-nalf a teaspoonful of To- Kalon
Perfume, which unites perfectly with the
other ingredients While this prepara-
tion is not a dye. it is unequaled for re-
storing gray hair to its original color
Caution: Do not apply where hair is
not desired and be sure to ayold tonlcs
containing poisonous wood alcohol.
