To Acquire Curly Hair
 In a Single Night

Hair tortured with the hot curling iron is bound to become dry, harsh and brittle, as so many know from sad experience It's far more sensible to use plain liquid silmerine. which can do no harm and which produces a curliness much pretter and more natural in appearance. This has the peculiar prop erty of drying in the most beautiful waves and creases imaginable. It is also a fine dressing for the hair, preserving it's texture and health, keeping it delightfully."- soft and glossy: A few ounces from the druggist will last for weeks. so it is not at all expensive
 Liquid silmerine is not sticky or greasy and 1t won't stain streak hair or scalp A convenient way to use it is to pour a little into saucer and then with a clean tooth brush apply evenly to the hair from root to tip. If this is done before retiring the added glory to ones "crowning glory will be quite in evidence in the morning. The hair will be nice and fluffy when comb ed out
