Keeps the Straightest,
Unruliest Hair in Curl

You've never seen anything work
such wonders for straight, lank, I'M
ruly hair as the simple silmerine
method. Nothing else will keep the
hair in curl for so long time-nor
produce such beautifully lustrOus,
natural-looking curls and waves.
Damp or windy weather has no ter
rors for the woman who uses it.
And no one need hesitate to use
liquid silmerine, for it is SO easily
applied with a brush just before
doing up the hair, and is so perfectly
harmless. 1t leaves no greasy, sticky
or streaky trace. When the hair is
com5ed out it is delightfully."- soft and.
fluffy. You can get liquid silmerine
from the druggist at not to exceed
20 cents an ounce. The liquid is
also valued as a splendid dressing
for the hair.
