Edwardian dandruff cleanser and remedies

-five ounces of bay rum
-one ounce of olive oil
-one ounce of tincture of cantharides
  Mix in a sealable bottle.


  It is advised to freely add sweet oil to the hair for lessening dandruff.
     and then washing the hair with warm water and castile soap or the "green soap"
of the pharmacy. If the dandruff is really bad apply an ointment of oxide and zinc.
