which cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly of all the dandruff
and dirt and leaves clean,

teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved
in q cup of hot water, afterwards
rinsing thoroughly with clean
water. One finds that the hair
dries quickly and evenly, is un-
streaked, bright, soft and fluffy,
so fluffy in fact that 1t looks
more abundant than it is, and so
soft that arranging ii becomes

disappear and the hair will be
