SIRE you will find prompt relief: In

ounce crystos, then each day put 2 or
drops of this in the eyes. The

granulated lids and to remove foreign

Ilightful sparkle and expression.
Aleda: Precipitation will not cause
your hair to become "mussy'' and I'M

with canthrox. Just dissolve tea

creates wealth of thick, creamy lath-
err that gently and completely removes
every atom of dust, dandruff and ex-
cess oil. Its use keeps the scalp
clean and healthy and insures an
abundance of brilliant hair, even in
color and of a soft, silken fluff. After
a canthrox shampoo the hair dries
quickly and is easy to do up in any
style.
