The New York Pharmaceutical Era speaks kindly of Yucca as follows: “The market is flooded with so-called ‘hair tonics,’ ‘cures for dandruff,’ etc., but the new prep- aration, ‘Yucca,’ now offered by the Yucca Company of Burlington, Vt., has unusual claims for attention, Writers have frequently referred to the use of ‘Yucca’ by the women of Mexico for cleaning the hair and scalp. In THe Century for May, 1887, Lieut, Schwatka describes its use by the Apaches for cleansing and dressing the hair, and there is unquestioned value in the plant, which belongs to the soap-root family. Druggists frequently have calls for a reliable preparation of this kind, and every druggist will be interested in the printed matter issued by this company.” We are constantly receiving orders from officers of the army stationed in New Mexico and on the border, they knowing the value of the Yucca plant for the purposes advertised. Yucca has just been introduced to the trade, and you can probably buy it at the nearest druggist’s. If not, send us $2.00 and we will send you two trial bottles. Some cus- tomers are asking us for quantity price. We will send one- half dozen bottles for $5.00. Cash to accompany order. We pay all express charges. Always address YUCCA CO., BURLINGTON, VT.
