Don't Use Curling Iron!
 Here's a Better Method

Thousands of ruined heads of hair bear striking testimony to the injuri- 0us effects of the heated curling iron The continued use of such instrument invariably means dull, dry, shriveled hair, with split. broken, uneven ends
 If more women only knew it, the hair can be kept beautifully wavy, soft and without any harmful result whatever-by the occasional use of plain liquid silmerine A small quantity is applied before doing up the hair, using clean toothbrush for the purpose, drawing this down the full length of the hair: The curly effect lasts quite considerable time It is so natural looking, and the textuYS and lustre of the hair are so improved. that the woman who adopts this sim. pie method will never go back to the atrocious waving iron. A few ounces of liquid silmerine from the druggist will last for weeks. The liquid is agreeable to use, and it leaves no gum my. greasy or odorous trace.
