ON YOUR HAIR
Or Anything That Must

The scalp is not like other skin
on the body that can be thoroughly

scalp contains a hair germ that
must be treated with respect.
All soaps and everything that
foams contains alkali and alkali
dries up the scalp. Don't use
them. Dandruff comes from too
dry a scalp. The most sensible
way to treat your hair is to
thoroughly brush it once a day to
keep it clean. Then use Speiser's
Scalp Tonic after brushing to give
your scalp that life and health
which produce glossy hair. Speis-
er's Scalp Tonic corrects any alb

kills dandruff, and relieves itchy
and irritated skins. But oven
Spelser's Scalp Tonic cannot do
the best work against the persist
