borated by Information gathered by

To Cue the Hair a
Naturally Way Effect


Ever since the virtues OF the sill
merine. It's effectiveness, its convent
came known in this country, drug
gists here have been having really
extraordinary demand for liquid sill
merine. Its effectiveness, it convent
ence and it's entire harmlessness
doubtless have been responsible for
its increasing use among well groom
ed women.
One need only apply little of the
liquid with a clean tooth brush before
doing up the hair, and the tresses
will have beautiful wavy and glossy
appearance which bears no marks of
artificiality. The best way is to di-
vide the hair into strands and moist
en- each of them from root to tip.
There is no discoloration, no sticky,
streaky or other unpleasant feature.
Liquid silmerine is fine also as an
aid in shaping "ear muffs" and in
keeping them in place over the ears.
