To Kill Roots of Superfluous Hair. Women annoyed with disfiguring growths of superfluous hair wish to know not merely how to temporarily remove the hair, but how to kill the hair roots permanently. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol _ may be applied directly to the objectionable hair growth. The recommended treatment is designed not only to instantly remove the hair but also to actually kill the roots so that the growth will not return. About an ounce of pheminol, obtainable from the chemist, should be sufficient. Lustrous Hair. A simple lotion that can be made at home and which_ will _ positively force the hair to grow is within the reach of everybody. It stops the hair from falling out, clears the scalp of dandruff, and leaves a _ clean tingling sensation which is a sure sign of healthy action. Get from your chemist one_ ounce of boranium and mix jt with i pint of bay rum, adding sufficient water to make £ a pint. This rjuantity will last you several weeks, and is at the same time both effective and economical. Removing Her Skin. Tha quickest and surest way to make a good complexion out of a bad one is to actually remove the thin veil of faded or discoloured outer skin from the face. This can be done easily, safely, and privately by any woman. The process is one of gentle absorption. Get some pure mercolised wax from your chemist, and apply it at night like cold cream, washiiig it off in the morning. In a few days the mercolide in the wax will have absorbed the disfiguring cuticle, revealing the fresh young skin underneath; you will have a beautiful, clear, .natural complexion. The process is pleasant and harmless, making the face look brilliantly attractive and youthful It also effectually removes such blemishes as freckles, tan, moth patches, liver spots, pimples, etc. Every woman should keep a little mercolised wax on hand, as this simple, old-fashioned remedy is the best complexion beautifier and preserver known. BJackheads Instantly Go. A- very_ simple, .harmless, and pleasant process is now used to remove blackheads and correct greasiness and large pores in the skin. You have only to drop a tablet of stymol, obtained from the chemists, inio a pi ass of hot water and bathe the face with the liquid after the effervescence has subsided. The blackheads will then come right _ off on the towel. The enlarged pores immediately contract to normal and the greasiness disappears, leaving the skin smooth, soft, and cool, and free from blemish But to make sure that this desirable result is permanent, it is advisable to repeat the treatment several times at intervals of say about four or live days. Grey Hair Unnecessary. One need not resort to the very ques tionable expedient of hair dye in order not to have grey hair. The grey hair can easily be changed back to a natural colour in a few days' time merely by the application of a simple, old-fashioned and perfectly harmless home-made lotion. Procure from your chemist an ounce of tammalite concentrate and mix it with four ounces of bay rum Apply this to the hair a few times with a small sponge and you will soon have the pleasure of seeing your grey hair gradually darkening to the desired shade. The lotion is pleasant, not sticky or greasy, and does not injure the hair in any way. Naturally Wavy Hair. Good stallax not only makes the best possible shampoo, but has the peculiar property of leaving the hair with a pronounced natural '"\vave," an effect pre* sumably desired by many ladies. 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 elbe as far as known. It is perfectly harmless, and can be obtained from most chemists, although since it has been but little used for this purpose, it comes only in ilb sealed original packages, enough to make up twentyfive or thirty individual shampoos. — Advt.
