How To Grow Long
Beautiful Hair
BY a Hair Specialist.


1t is not hard to stop the hair from
falling out and promote its growth IL
the right means are used. There is
no hope for the scalp where the hair
roots are dead and the scalp is shiny.
However, to those who have not
reached this condition, immediate
steps should bs taken to stop it before
1t is too late. Here is simple recipe
which you can make at home, that
will stop the hair from falling out,
promote its growth and eradicate
scalp eruptions and scalp humors. I
know Of cases where the hair has
grown from four to five inches in a
few months after using this simple
recipe: To half pint of water add
l OF. bay rum, small box of Barbo
Compound and " or Of glycerine, and
apply to the hair, rubbing with the
finger tips, two or three times a week.
These ingredients can be obtained at
any drug store at very little cost and
mixed at home. This recipe not only
promotes the growth of the hair but
darkens streaked, faded gray hair and
makes it soft and glossy.
