Then I heard of "Rusnia," and, as a last resource, decided to give it a trial, though lmvinp littlo faith of ever being cured. Imagine my surpriso and delight on discovering, that, with each trcatmont, the hair grow finer, until finally I was cured. " Mrs. H&yblttle makes n specialty of Artistic and Up-to-dato Hairwork.
