CONCERNING BADNESS.
Glitter Dissertation OF a Fashionable New

Sitter Dissertation of a Fashionable New
York Hairdresser.
Can hair be made to grow on
bald heads?" said fashionable hair
dresser. in response to a reporters
inquiry. ''Yes-and no. If person
becomes bald owning to sickness, the
hair can be made to grow again. In
fact it will grow again without max
ing. but it can be aided and stimu-
lated in its growth by tonics. But if
person is deprived of his or her hair
by natural loss of its vitality, it will
not grow again. and nothing has ever
been compounded that will res tore it.
Natural badness comes on gradual
ly. and the awful day of its complete
triumph over the hairs existence
may be postponed by tonics. but its
final coming can not be prevented.
Long experien &C has taught me that
fact. although years ago l had the
personal opinion of the renowned
skin disease specialist. DR.. Bar

I have dressed the heads of New York
ers and Parisians for thirty years. /

patrons. from whose heads not only
the hand of time. but the indiscretion
and carelessness of youth were grad
ualiy. but persistently. plucking the
natural and often luXuriant covering,
and have anointed. drenched and plas-
tered their too apparent polls with
lotions. tonics and pomatums. and
rubbed. and kneaded. and manIpu-
lated their failing scalps until, if there
had been one ember of hair-life left
slumbering there. it must surely have
been brought back to its wonted fire
and vigor. ard have given it up at
wigmaker. If l have used one hair
restorative 1 have used five hundred,
and every one among them was war
ranted not only to prevent badness,
but to restore to bald heads their some
time hirsute glory. Look at me. my
son! See what a remarkable growth
and youthful gloss of hair l have. 1t
has not changed in twent y-fve years.

The hairdresser seized his soft brown
hair with both hands, and with a
vicious jerk removed it from his head.
1t was costly wig. and his head was
as white and bare as billiard ball.
THAT is whyr" he resumed, bitter
ly. "And 1 was not only a hairdresser.
but skilled i'll every tonsorial art! If
there were help for badness other
than the wigmaker do YOU for a mo-
ment suppose that l. of all men. would
not know it, and knowing it. would
not only have rescued myself, but have
saved to myself hundreds of the most
profitable customers? If that is not
proof enough that man once bald is
always bald. just call to mind doctors
of your own acquaintance who are
bald as glass globes. They are learned
in the mysteries of drugs and their
preparation. They know what result
their combination and preparation
will produce. If any one living were
capable of curing badness some one
among these exports in the science of
medicine surely ought to be the one.
You never had occasion to 60 10 a
doctor to get a prescription for bald

poll be my answer.
"'Come to me for cure for any
thing else my medical adviser said.
Amy thing else. said he. and I will
cure you. But badness! Why, my
dear. sir, Esculapius himself was as
bald as-as bald as-well, as bald as l

whatever you may call it. that could
bid even one hair to grow where there

no bald doctors, and the discoverer of
that boon would live longer in the
hearts of men than the much-spoken-

the summit of all greatness some day,
