Trying to cure badness with hair
lestoratives is about as hopeless task
as locking the stable after the horse is
gone. When the hair has left a spot
en- the head it is as useless to try to
make it grow there as trying to double
cross Father Time by reversing the
lands of clock. When hair begins to
fall out is the time to get busy. Mas.
saying the hair with slow and firm
movements of the fingers is regarded
as being as beneficial as anything.
This is calculated to restore the nat
nral oil in the hair A lotion that is
sometimes applied is as follows: Tere
