Cases are on record of persons ap,
parently in vigorous health whose heads,
faces and bodies have become absolutely
bare. There was no appreciable cause
The fault was doubtless at the nutritive
centre in the brain, but what il was, No
one can certainly say.
When the head is scurfy, there is often
a connection between this condition and
badness. 1t is found that the scurf
mixed with vaseline and applied to the
hair Of an animal causes badness of the
part. In such cases the cause is probably
microscopic vegetable parasite. Two
persons should never use the same hair
brush. There is little doubt that BARRIERS
have thus communicated badness from
one patron to another
There is form of badness In which the
hair suddenly begins to fall out in small
round spot, which gradually increases in
area, the hair near the edge of the circle
being brittle, and more or less broken
This has been proven to be due To vege-
table organisms which the microscope has
