damp and chilly. cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid

How to Destroy
the Dandruff Germ
BY A SPECIALIST.

That the dandruff germ Is responsible
for nearly all the diseases to which the
scalp Is heir, as well as for badness
and premature gray hair, Is we'll
known fact. but when We realize that
1t 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,
particularly pleased to give herewith
the prescription which an eminent
scientist states he has found after re-
peated tests, to completely destroy the
dandruff germ in from one to three ap-
plications. 1t will also almost immedi-
ately stop falling hair and 1t has in
numerous cases produced new hair
growth after years Of partial badness
This prescription can be made up at
home. or any druggist will put it up
for you: ounces Bay Rum. 2 ounces
Lavona de Composee. one-half drachm
Menthol 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 1t perfumed. add l drachm Of
your favorite perfume. While this
preparation is not a dye it is unequalcd
