A Shampoo That VIII
Not Whiten The Hair

The serious objections to cheap
shampoos are that they contain i'm
purities and alkalis. They burn and
deaden the hair, deprive it of life
and color, make the scalp and hair
dry and eventually white. Only
natural blends of the purest and most
highly refined Cocoanut and Palm
oils as blended in Shuco Shampoo
should be used. Shuco Shampoo is
a perfect saponifcation suspended in
a solution that easily changes into a
bushel of rich, creamy, bubbling and
sparkling lather.
Apply to the moistened hair and
rub well adding water and shampoo
as needed. 1t vanishes all dirt, dust
and dandruff, rinses out quickly and
perfectly, leaving the hair soft as
velvet, light and fluffy. Your mirror
will tell you why Shuco Shampoo
makes hair with thousand lights.

Aspironal Does Not Relieve In
Two Minutes. Absolutely Safe.

Why suffer half an hour of head
ache pain waiting for your stomach
to digest solid tablets and powders,
when Aspironal, the new Elixir,

does not upset the stomach.
The next time you have a head
ache go to your nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a
bottle of Aspironal and tell him to
serve you two teaspoonsful in a lit
tie water. With your watch in hand
count off the minutes and call for
your money back, as per manufac-
turer's guarantee, if you can't feel
your headache fading away within
the time limit. Your druggist in
vites and expects you to try Aspir-
onal so don't be bashful. Every
body is doing it. Same guarantee
applies to colds, coughs and neural

absolutely tasteless. Nothing is re-
moved except that disagreeable taste.
Strength and purity remain absolute

oil that your doctor prescribes with
the nauseating taste eliminated.
Think what boon KelIogg's Taste
