Curling Iron Kills Hair;
Siln1erine Improves 1t

Many woman loses the silky, furry
and brilliant appearance OF her hair
through habitual use of the curling iron.
Certainly it can do the hair no good to
dry UP It's natural OIL SINCE the life out
of it, making 1t harsh, brittle ana duil.
And there's no excuse for that. now that
1t is known what can be accomplished py
the simple SiHnerine method. Liquid Sill
merine really preserves the life. lustre
and beauty of the hair, and the curh-
ness is perfectly natural looking and
most captivating. If you've never tried
1t, by all means procure a few ounces
from your druggist and apply little
with brush just before doing up your
hair. LIQUID Silmerime is neither sticky
nor greasy, but quite pleasant to use.
