FOR
THE
HAIR.
LOSS
OF
HAIR.--The
most
simple
remedy
for
loss
of
hair,
is
friction
to
the
scalp
of
the
head,
using
for
the
purpose
an
old
tooth-brush,
or
one
of
which
the
bristles
have
been
softened
by
soaking
in
boiling
water.
The
shape
of
the
instrument
adapts
it
to
be
inserted
readily
and
effectually
between
the
hair,
where
it
should
be
rubbed
backwards
and
forwards
over
the
space
of
an
inch
or
so
at
a
time.
In
addition
to
the
friction,
which
should
be
used
once
or
twice
a
day,
the
head
may
be
showered
once
a
day
with
cold
water,
carefully
drying
it
with
soft,
spongy
towels.
POMATUM.--Take
of
white
mutton
suet
4
pounds,
well
boiled
in
hot
water,
(3
quarts,)
and
washed
to
free
it
from
salt.
Melt
the
suet,
when
dried,
with
1-1/2
pounds
of
fresh
lard,
and
2
pounds
of
yellow
wax.
Pour
into
an
earthen
vessel,
and
stir
till
it
is
cold;
then
beat
into
it
30
drops
of
oil
of
cloves,
or
any
other
essential
oil
whose
scent
you
prefer.
If
this
kind
of
pomatum
is
too
hard,
use
less
wax.
At
times
numbers
of
loose
hairs
come
away
in
the
brushing
or
combing.
Such
cases
as
these
will
generally
be
found
remedial.
Wilson
recommends
women
with
short
hair
to
dip
their
heads
into
cold
water
every
morning,
and
afterwards
apply
the
brush
until
a
glow
of
warmth
is
felt
all
over
the
scalp.
Those
who
have
long
hair
are
to
brush
it
till
the
skin
beneath
becomes
red,
when
a
lotion
is
to
be
applied,
as
here
specified.
