Wash your head first with whiskey, then apply the hair oil freely, pour
it on the head gently and rub with the hand or stiff brush. For children
only use the hair oil. To remove the dandruff, comb the head well with a
fine comb, do this every time you use the preparation. This oil should be
applied twice a week, which will loosen the dandruff so that it may be
easily removed. A great and valuable discovery for the hair and head, two
or three applications of which will remove every particle of dandruff,
purify the skin and prevent the hair from coming out, giving new life
and vigor to every hair on the head, and changing light or sandy hair to
a beautiful dark lustre; also curing dizzy or nervous headache. No one
should be without this valuable preparation, especially those who are
subject to dandruff eruptions of the skin, falling off of the hair, dizzy
or nervous headache. If it should make the head tender, only use half the
tincture of cantharides. The alcohol must be strictly 95 per cent.--you
can add hartshorn if not strong enough, also bergamot for perfume to
suit. It is good for tetter on the head. Every ingredient can be had at
almost any of the drug stores.
TO RESTORE THE HAIR IN BALDNESS.
Take of cold pressed castor oil 2 ounces, tincture of cantharides ½
ounce, acetic acid ½ ounce, strong water of amonia 1½ ounces, oil of
nutmegs ½ drachm, oil of lavender ½ drachm, put this in a bottle, make
into a lotion, when it will be ready for use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
The head should be perfectly cleaned of all dirt and dandruff, with
castile soap and warm water, and the lotion applied freely and rubbed in
with a stiff hair brush once a day; in a week or two its good effects
will be manifested. This is the best preparation for baldness yet
introduced--give it a fair trial and you will not be disappointed. The
drugs of this preparation can be had at any of the drug stores.
TOOTHACHE BALSAM.
Take of creosote 1 drachm, oil of cloves 1 drachm, tincture of camphor 2
drachms, oil of petroleum 2 drachms, mix them thoroughly and cork tight

of the tooth will relieve the pain.

cream of tartar ½ ounce, oil of roses 10 drops, mix them properly. This
may be used with the finger, rag or soft tooth brush.
ANOTHER TOOTH POWDER.

or neroli. This is the best tooth powder for children--the teeth should
always be cleaned after eating, if you wish to keep the breath sweet.
