MAKE YOUR OWN HAIR TONIC. A SPECIALIST’S ADVICE. In a recent issue the “Daily Mail* of London published a special article on the care of the hair in which was given the formula for a home-made hair tonic that was highly recommended for its remarkable hair-growing properties, as well as for stopping falling hair, revitalizing the hair roots, and destroying the dandruff germ. This article was of special interest to me, as the formula was one which I, myself, have seen used in countless eases with most astonishing benefit, thus confirming my belief that home-made hair preparations are the l>est. For the benefit of those who have not seen it before I give the formula herewith. Procure from your chemist a fourounce bottle containing three ounces of Bay Rum,'one ounce of Lavona de Composee (Smith’s) and 1 dram Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the crystals in the Bay Rum, and then add the Lavona de Composee; shake thoroughly and apply night and morning to the roots of the hair, rubbing into* the scalp with the finger tips. This preparation contains no colouring matter, but restores grey hiir to its original colour by its action on the liair roots. If you desire it perfumed, add half a spoonful of French Fon Fleur which combines perfectly with the other ingredients, and imparts a most pleasing scent. (Do not apply where hair is not desired.)
