Tho care of tho hair involves the caro of the scalp, and in order to promote a frrowth of luxuriant hair of rich appearance and lustro tho scalp must receive attention. Falling hair, premature greyness, loss of tone and vitality can generally be attributed to a scalp that needs stimulating or that is covered to a certain extent with dandruff, which is the primary cause of soborrboea. Mrs Rolleston's home treatment for the hair has gained tho distinction of being ono of the best and most reliable over placed on sale. Tho preparations are remedies for the condition of tho scalp, and are specially prepared according to tho diagnoses from the micro-, scopical examination of hair combings, a. sample of which is sent with order.
