You can make a delightful sham
poo with very little effort and for a
druggist a package of canthrOx and
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. Your shampoo is now ready.
Just pour a little at a time on the
scalp and rub briskly. This creates
an abundance of thick. white lather
that thoroughly dissolves and removes
all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing. the hair dries quickly, with n
fuffiness that makes it seem heavier

and a softness that make arranging it
