Glycerine Is better as a hair tonic than as a face wash. Two ounces of glycerine, glyce-rine, two of filtered water and two of alcohol or cologne, shaken together, form an excellent lotion for massage of the scalp. A flannel wet with the liquid applied to the head an inch or two at a time, and the scalp rubbed vigorously with the fingers till the fluid dries. "Rubbing in" any salve lotion means that it is rubbed until it dries and disappears from the surface completely. com-pletely. American Herald. |
