 GRAY HAIR
Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That She Used to Darken Her
 Gray Hair

For years I tried to restore my gray hair to its natural color with the pre- pared dyes and stains, but none of them gave satisfaction, and they were all expensive. I finally ran onto a sim pie recipe which l mixed at home that gives wonderful results. 1 gave the recipe which is as follows, to aSnumber of my friends, and they are all delight ed with it. To OF. of water add a small box of Barbo Compound. 1 oz. of bay rum and i4 oz. of glycerine. Use every other day until the hair becomes the required shade, then every two weeks. It will not only darken the gray hair but removes dandruff and scalp humors, and acts as tonic to the hair. It is not sticky or greasy. does not rub off and does not color the scalp. You can prepare it at home lat very little expense.
