joyed at very little expense, by dissoly-
ing q teaspoonful OF Canthr0x, which
can be obtained from any druggists, in
a cup OF hot water. This makes full
cup OF shampoo liquid, enough so 1t
is easy TO apply IT. to all the hair In
stead Of Just TO the top OF the head.
This, when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand OF hair, chemically
dissolyes all impurities. II IS very
soothing and cooling in its action, as
