RECIPE TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
BY n Specialist

A very satisfactory preparation
which darkens gray hair and acts as
a corrective agent for dandruff and
other diseases of the scalp can be
made at small expense and in your
own home by dissolving a small box
of Barbo Compound in ounces of
water and then adding an ounce of
bay rum and a quarter ounce Of gly-
cerine. Any drug store can furnish
these ingredients. This is to be ap-
piled once a week until the hair is
sufficiently darkened. then every two
weeks to keep the hair soft and glossy
and the scalp in a healthy condition.
1t may be used with equal success in
darkening the beard. This is a prepa-
ration that gives splendid results.
both as hair darkener and a remedy
for all scalp disorders, and is we'll
worthy of a trial. You will find 1t far
superior to the ordinary store prepa-
rations and much less expensive
