A teaspoonful of the stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water is ample for a luxurious head wash, and leaves the hair with a peculiar lustre and fluffiness obtainable from nothing else as far as known. It is perfectly harmless, and can be obtained from most chemists, although since it has been so little used for this purpose it comes only in sealed original packages, enough to make up twenty-five or thirty individual shampoos. ... . For an actual hair grower nothing equals pure boraniura. It is quite harmless, and sets the hair roottingling with new life. . . . Tho use of rouge is almost always obvious, but powdered colliandum gives a perfectly natural colour and defies detection. 1
