WOMAN’S HAIR REACHES HER KNEES.

A YEAR AGO WAS THREATENED WITH BALDNESS. TELLS HOW SHE MADE HER HAIR GROW. A lady, now visiting friends in Foxton, is the fortunate possessor of marvellously oeautiful hair, which, when loosened from its coils, tails to her knees. Moreover, it is of soft, silky and fluffy texture, and in colour a glorious glossy gold. Yet just one year ago -she was threatened with baldness. Urged to tell how she had obtained this wonderful growth in so short a time, she said: “Had anyone told me such marvellous results could be accomplished so quickly, I positively would not have believed Twelve months ago my hair, which then reached barely to my shoulders, was falling out at an alarming rate, and growing very thin, actually exposing the bald scalp in several soots. It was dull and lifeless in colour, turning grey in patches, and very dry and brittle. My head was covered with dandruff, and itched like mad all the time. I tried fully a dozen different hair tonics, but they were all the same, and never did me a bit of good One day I chanced to read in my home paper of a simple home prescription to make the hair grow that was recommended by a well-known physician. It said that by taking ordinary Lavona de Composee and mixing with Bay Rum and Menthol Crystals, and applying to the scalp each night with the finger tips, that new hair would grow very rapidly. I decided to try it, and I had my chemist mix three ounces of Bay Rum one ounce of Lavona de Composee (Smith’s) and H dram Menthol Crystals, and started to use it My, how quickly my hair did grow. First the hair stopped fallings the itching ceased, and the dandruff disi appeared. Then tiny little hairs appeared all over my scalp. These grew and grew as though nothing would ever stop them. T hey are growing still, and while, of course, I have used the treatment steadily, and expect to continue, it at least until my hair reaches the floor, I might have stopped and been perfectly satisfied at the end of three months. I think that any woman can get long, thick; beautiful hair by using this prescription, as I have recommended it to several friends, and all are delighted with the results. The prescription is very inexpensive, and any chemist can prepare it, but those who use it should be careful not to get it on the face or where hair is not desired.
