Show DYED HAIR. -- It is a relief to know that dyed hair has had its day. So many persons are suffering from the effects of the various dyes that physicians are prohibiting the use of the different kinds of coloring matter. The French Government makes a study of the preservation of life. When dyed hair became the fashion the Government ordered a board of scientific men to analyze blonding and other kinds of dye. The result was a report that the use of these dyes impaired the eyesight and the complexion, and a perseverance in the use produced ill-health and shortened life. A legislative note? then prohibited the use of hair-dyes. The American women are the most profitable customers that the French chemists have. A weak minded young lady for a series of years changed her dark hair to blonde. She was forced to discontinue its use, and now appears with dead-gray hair and blue goggles. She has utterly ruined her eyes, complexion, hair and health. Her handsome young husband carries around a wreck of the beauty he married six years ago. Like the poor Indian who wished to rid himself of the squaw he took for better or worse, he finds her "all the worse and no better." |
