When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use SOap

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as 1t dries the

very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole

Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
