Hair, So Matter What Color.
The finest contour of a female face, the
wcetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the bead is crowned with scant
balr. Scant and falling hair, it is now
known, Is caused by a parasite that burrows
Into Ibe scalp to the root of the balr. where
It saps the vitality. The little white scales
the germ throws up In burrowing are called
dandruff. To rure dandruff permanently
then and to stop falling hair, that germ
must be killed. Newbro's Herplclde, an en
tirely new result of the chemical Isboratory,
destroys the dandruff germ, and, of course,
topi the falling balr and cures baldness.
