LYf JOR DANDRUFF CURE
A Hazelton, Penn.. Man Has a New
Kind of Remedy for the Cure
of Dandruff.
| ilazeHon. Pa. August 14.-—Patrick
Rwi eney, of tins city, concluded to
economize during the strike, and in
order to save jr> cents which would
iiave gone to a barber, he out. his
naif cio.se to the scalp with a pair of
patent, scissors. Then he decided to
save a shampoo, as he had been
troubled with dandruff. ’ He made a
strong solution of chloride of lye and
water and doused his shaved head
into the well-filled basin of lye charg
ed witn water, vigorously rubbing the
liquid into his scalp with both hands.
A 'moment later his dismal cries
arose to heaven. The lye acted with
the alaehrity or vitriol, amt Sweeney’s
polished pate began to smart witli
pain. The agonized man made a bee
line for the nearest hyklrant and for
half an hour he sought relief by let
ting the cooling waters gush forth
over his dead. When this proved in
effective he procured a handful or
butter arid, rubbed it. over his scalp.
Sweeney was almost crazed with tor
ture. His head bears evidence of his
experience, as his scalp is covered
with blisters.
Sweeney now recommends lye-wa
ter a: an effective cure for dandruff,
being somewhat less painful than Bob
Burdeft's famous remedy for the same
complaint, namely, to cut of the
head.
