Want To Keep Your
Hair Perpetually Curly?
Perpetually wavy, curly hair is
now within the means of every wom
an to possess. One need only get a
few ounces of plain liquid sllmerlne
from her druggist and apply a little
of it occasionally with a clean tooth
brush. This quickly dries in the
most beautiful and natural looking
waves and creases imaginable. Wind
and weather do not affect the curlt
ness as where a heated iron has
been used.
. Liquid silmcrlno is so pure and
harmless there is not the slightest
danger of spotting the scalp or
streaking the hair, and it leaves no
sticky or grcaßy trace. It will also
bo appreciated as a benoficlnl dress
ing, as it keeps the hair so soft,
silky and lustrous.
