SULPHUR SOAP (for the hair).— The
natural colour of the hair is due to an

It is believed that in many cases grey
hair is due solely to a deficiency in this
natui'al secretion of sulphur. In such
cases the sulphur may be supplied to the
hair glands by occasionally washing the
hair and scalp with the above soap. It is
most particularly recommended that in
cases of incipient greyness this should
be tried before artificial colour restorers
are resorted to. It is also the best soap
for cleansing the hair applying
any dye or colour restorer, as it greatly
quickens and enhances their action. It
is also of great service for washing the
skin in many cases of eruption and skin
disease. Is. 3d.
