MAKE YOUR OWN HAIR TONIC.

A SPECIALIST'S AHVItl'

Tn a recent issue the “Lady's Realm 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, re vitalizing 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 canes with most astonishing benefit, thus confirming my belief that homemade hair preparations are the best. For the benefit of those who have not seen it before, 1 give the formula here with.

Procure from your chemist a four ounce bottle containing three ounces of Bay Rum, one ounce of i.avona de Coinposce (Smith’s), and 1 dram Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the crystals in the Bay Rum and then add the Irvona de Composer; 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 hair to its original colour by its action on the hair roots. If you desire it perfumed, add half a spoonful of French Fori Fleur .perfume, which combines per fcclly with the .other ingredients and impart* a most pleasing scent. (Do not apply where hair is not desired.)
