How to Destroy
 the Dandruff Germ
BY A sPECIALIsT

That the dandruff germ sis re- sponsible for nearly all the diseases to which the scalp is heir, as well as for badness and premature gray hair, is a we'll known fact, but when We realize that it. is also indirectly responsible for many other, diseases as well, we appreciate the importance of any agent that will destroy it's power. We are therefore, particu- larIy p1easedsto give herewith the pre- scriBtion which an. eminent Scientist states he has found after repeated tests to completely destroy the dan druff germ in from one to three ap- pIication It will also almost i'm mediately stop falling hair and it has in numerous cases produced new hairgrowth after years of partial badness. This prescription can be made up at home, or any druggist will put it up for you: 6 ounces Bay Rum, 2 ounces Lavona de Composee, one-half drachm MenthoI Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and after standing an hour. it is ready for use. Apply night and morning, rubbing into the scalp with the finger tips. If you wish it perfumed, add 1 drachm of your fayorite perfume While this preparation is not a dye it is un- .equalled for restoring gray hair to it's original coIor.-Adv.
