Use only those preparations which are guaranteed to be harmless. I do not know that there is anything injurious in these preparations and have never hpard of any one being injured by their use. Go to a dentist and have your teeth thoroughly cleaned, and then brush them systematically and thoroughly every day with any one of the well advertised tooth powders or pastes, or use common table salt and baking soda, and you can keep your teeth in splendid condition. You should not try to remove the tartar yourself as you might injure the enamel of your teeth.

(1) The spots you mention are similar to black heads and require the same treatment. Use a good cleansing cream instead of soap and water and give them a good steam bath occasionally. (2) Just what the cause of your rash may be, I do not know, but if you send me your name and stamped envelope I will be happy to give you the name of a preparation which I believe will cure it, and also some toilet preparations which you should use.

(4) Could you tell me something to do for my hair? It seems dead and will not grow. It is split at the ends very bad. Thanking you very kindly, SHORTY, Panguitch, Utah. If you will send your full name and a stamped envelope I will send you the name of a preparation which will cure your pimples, also for your hair. (2) You should let the boy write first always, my dear. (3) Most surely you should tell him not to, and in language which he cannot mistake. He is certainly not showing much respect for you, if he attempts to become so familiar at your first meeting. Dont you think so?
