Lauies who try to preserve their hair by experimenting amateurishly with lavish-ly-advertised hair washes and invigorators run great risks of ruining it. The hair is a plant of surpassing delicacy. It is exposed to many perils. It needs care, attention, scientific treatment. Mrs. Ro:lcston is a specialist of tho hair. Her wide experience has given her an exceptional knowledge of the various form* and degrees of iiair trouble. If you consult her, sho will tell you candidly just what is wrong, aud charge you no feo for the consultation. If your hair is causing you any anxiety at all, yon will do well to bear in mind that you need immediate treatment. Delays aro especially dangerous where tho hair is concerned.
