Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will peroxide
and ammonia destroy superhuous hair
forever? How much does it take and
how do you apply it, and If it doesn't
destroy the hair, IL will not make hair
grow, will It A. AND VI. 5.
Nothing will destroy hair except the
electric needle.
Do not by any means use a mixture
OF peroxide and ammonia for such
purpose II will harden the skin IN
time and make it look dead and
cTinkly.
Peroxide used alone. or diluted with
water according 20 the delicacy Of
your skin will bleach the hairs light
so they will not show. Put it gently
on the skin morning and evening, until
the hairs are bleached. Peroxide will
not make hair grow.
A drop or two Of ammonia in the
water for bathing your face, or a few
drops in the bath, will be found sooth-
ing and cleansing; but most people are
apt 20 use too much and this will burn
the skin Do not use the peroxide,
either, any more than necessary.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
a faithful reader OF your column and
have learned many useful things from

little yellow vaseline on the scalp,
