THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the
frger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It Is well to place q light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
