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, revitalising 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 cases with most astonishing benefit, thus confirming my belief that home-made hair preparations are the best. For the benefit of those who have not seen it before, I give the formula herewith.

Procure from your chemist a four-ounce bottle containing three ounces of bay rum, one ounce of Lavona de Composee (Smith’s), and yi 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 hair to its original colour by its action on the hair roots. If you desire it perfumed, add half a spoonful of French Fon Fleur perfume, which combines perfectly with the other ingredients, and imparts a most pleasing scent. (Do not apply where hair is not desired.)
