scientific speculators, do not injure th
vitals of their huir by such means, and
thns are rarely chronically bald.
"Maybo they aro ri;it, but I don't to
lieve it. Lverykxly known that mun,
as the heail of the family, hau to go to
the front and stay there in the capacity
of tho breadwinner. Tho strain of life

In general. What makes men prema
turely old? Just those anxieties and
struggles. If prematurely old, why not
prcinatnrely bald, which is a natnral ac
companiment of untimely age? Woman
feus lusa brain stress. Uer sympathies
with the man in hi struggle may be
groat, and usunlly aio, but they do not
make the demands on her organization
that toll bo severely on the system of tho
man.
"I acconnt for much baldness among
men by this theory of nervons exhaus
tion, but then what will explain its prev
alence among mon whose circumstance
do not require them either to indulge in
business anxieties or undergo busineua
disappointments? Thus we see the easy
going man about town, not yet in his
prime as to years, with no haunting
thought of tomorrow, yet aa bald as his
grandfather was at seventy. We see the
pampered child of fortnno, eon of a mil
lionaire father, who toils not, neither
doth he spin, yet Elijah, whom tho bad
boys mocked, at the same time the she
bears came out of the wilderness and
dined npon them, was not arrayed in
loss hair than ono of these. Some might
explain this by the sweeping charge of
dissipation. ut it will not do. I havo
among my patrons youth of this kind
who are models of sobriety, propriety
and simple living, and yet they are aa
bald as doorknobs.
"Heredity is tho only explanation that
can be inado of this mysterious depar
ture of tho hair in early life, although
Professor Eaton, an English scientific
person who has made investigation on
the subject a specialty for years, does not
lielieve it, and stoutly declares that the
causo of baldness is no nearer discovery
than it was a hundred years ago.
"But whether 1 am right or wrong in
my theories 1 know I am right in this,
and that is when a man is once bald lit
is always bald, unless his hair has fallen
out from tho effects of fever. In that
case it will generally return in timo ol
its own accord. But a head that has
gradually lost its hair while tho ownui
of it is in good physical condition has
lout it for good. If it wasn't so do you
suptxwe there would bo go many bald-
ruled doctors and barbers?" New
