'Can hair be made to grow on nald heads?, said
O fashionable hardreSser, In response to Sun re-
pOrters inquiry. "Yes-and no. II a person be

made to grow again, In fact, 1t viii grow again
without making, but it can be aided and stilnu-
lated in It's growth by tontcs. But II a person is
deprived OF mis- or herhair by natural loss OF its
vitality, II will not grow again, and nothing has
ever been compounded that will restore

have lamented with hundreds OF my patrons from
whose heads not only the hand OF Time, but the
indiscreton and carelessness OF youth, were grad

often luxuriant covering, and have annOinled

among them was warranted not only to prevent
badness but to restore TO bald heads their some

years. Why?"
The hairdresser seized his soft brown hair with
both hands, and with vicious jerk removed it
from his head. II was a costly wig, and his head
