CARE ON THE HAIR. A Course of Treatment That May Give lfeneller alRemelts. ' It isnot necessarily a sign of incip , ent baldness or premature age when a woman's hair, in the spring of the year, -.begins' to, fall out with rareazing.xapid- ity. This' is ,4a.n alarining manifesta- tion, but one is moulting, changing the heavy winter suit for a lighter spring; covering, and the quantity and quality of the ;new growth depend very much on the discreet and careful treatment given one's head at this critical junc- ture. Deluging with more or less 'trust- - worthy tonics and panicky trips to lthe hair specialist are not of so much avail as simple home remedies, and all along in these days, when the sap is rising.in. the trees, sensible women clip their tresses once in every fifteen days. They merely trim the edges, with a pair of very sharp scissors, and then singe the raw ends over a candle flame. This has exactly the sanie effect as pruning a hedge. It forces a fuller growth on the scalp. • Another word to the wise. In spring wash your hair at least once every fortnight and don't wash it before going to bed, for hair must dry rapidly and in the light. It is not only healthy to shampoo the head frequently, but at this time of the year nothing so stimu- lates the sprouting 'Strands. Wash your head in a warm bath and use either castile or sulphur soap., If you don't care to use a soap, the next' most cleansing process—and invigorat- ing, too—is to beat the 'yoke of an egg and pour it over the dry scalp. With your finger tips rub this in, and then plunge your head and tresses into the basin of tepid fluid, dashed with one teaspoonful of cloudy ammonia or bo- rax, Directly the water g'ows dis- colored, a fresh bath must be drawn. and a basin of the clean fluid used, until the last one is quite cold and the scalp is quite free of sticky egg or soap suds. After wringing out the bulk•of hair a couple of big Turkish towels, if used hot from hanging before a fire, will all but completely dry the head. Hair washed in ammonia, borax, or even with soap, ,though left light and shiny from the effeet of the egg, is apt to fluff and fuzz as though every strand had been separately through hot tongs. To allay this a. little cocoa oil or any pure grease ought to be rubbed into the scalp and a vigorous brushing put in train. Excessive dryness is indeed a peculiarity of many American women's hair, the result of our climate and rather second class digestions, and to correct this a steady cocoa oil or grease treatment ought to be kept up for two or three months at a time, ap- plying a very little of the emollient once in six or seven days and brushing it out in the length of hair.

It requires two brushes to do this busi- ness well; one meant only for the scalp, and this one must be a rubber affair. It is a new invention, the rubber brush. Back, handle and bristles are all of rubber, pliable indeed but sternly aggressive, for the bristles get right down to first principles and stir the dandruff from its hitherto inaccessible strongholds. Moreover, the rubber brush is delightfully clean, for after use every morning it can be washed': . under the faucet and laid white anti dry back on the dressing table. The second brush ought to be a. conven- tional, long handled, stout bristled affair, to use for stroking the length of the hair, where the rubber one will not go and where the daily accumulation of dust, lint, straws and threads is a matter shocking and astonishing to a dainty woman. What with this careful brushing and washing anyone's spring crop of hair can be induced to come forth in unusu- al luxuriance and beauty of quality,but for the women who have long ignored the simple cleanly precautions for pre - t, serving their hair and are in danger of Wholesale Grocers, TORONTO, ONT AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF INDIGESTION.

A CURE COMES THROUGH SOUTH AMERICAN NERVINE. Unequivocal. Testimony of John Snell, of W inkhant, Ont. This is a case of confidence. Mr. Snell had been severely afflicted with kidney disease, and was cured of this trouble by South American Kidney Cure. He liked the name, and when indigestion took hold of the system in some of its worst forms he was naturally drawn to South American Nervine as a cure for the dis- ease. He tried the medicine, and. though he had suffered intensely, it required only two bottles'to entirely curehim. It is not possible in cold type to describe the ter- rible hold that this trouble had taken on Mr. Snell's system, for as a ;.natter of fact the pains in the upper part of the stomach were at times so severe that the whole system became paralyzed. But there is an explanation for the surprising cures that Nervine effects. Its great dis- coverer got at the root of disease when he proved that healthfulness depends on the condition of the nerve centers. From these flows the life blood that creates health. Nervine does not act the part of a pain killer in the sense of temporarily removing disease at one part by. perhaps, aggravating some other part, but it strikes at thenerve centers, and gives life and health to them, and then, like a stream purified at the source, the whole system soon becomes purified. A Boston paper says that Bernhardt is fifty-two, feels like thirty and looks only twenty-elght, It is the popular verdict that she tamstill act like sixty. Parmelee's Pills possess the power of acting specifically upon the diseased organs, s stimulating to action the dor- mant energies of the system, thereby re- moving disease. In fact, so great is the power of this medicine to cleanse and purify, that diseases of almost every name and nature are driven from the body. Mr D Carswell, Oarswell P. 0, Ont, writes: "I have tried Parmelee's Pills a excellent and find them n cool eat medicinee and one that will sell well."
