ONCE BALD, ALWAYS BALD.

The Learned Art-RItter dissertation
of Fashionable Hairdresser.
From the New York SUM-
"Can hair be made to grow on bald

and no. If person becomes bald owing to
sickness the hair can be made to grow again.
In fact it will grow again without making,
but it can be aided and stimulated in its
growth by tonics. But if a person is de-
priyed of his or her hair by natural loss of
its vitality it will not grow again, and moth
ing has ever been compounded that will re-
store it. Natural badness comes on gradu-
ally, and the awful day of its complete tri-
umph over the hairs existence may be post
poned by tonics, bat its final coming cannot
be prevented. Long experience has taught
me that fact, although years ago l had the
personal opinion of the renowned skin dis

The hairdresser seized his soft brown
hair with both hands, and with vicious
jerk removed it from his head. 1t was a
costly wig, and his head was as white and
bare billiard ball.
"That is WHY" he resumed bitterly.
"And l not only hairdresser, but skilled
in every tonsorial art! If there were a help
for badness other than the wigmaker do you
for moment 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 my most prof
table customers! If that is not proof enough
that man once bald is always bald, just
call to mind doctors of your own acquain-
tance who are bald as glass globes. They
are learned in the mysteries of drugs and
their preparation. They know what result
duce. If anyone living were capable of cur
ing badness some one among these experts
in the science of medicine surely ought to be
the one. You never had occasion to go to
doctor to get a prescription for badness I
Sec I have had such occasion. Did I get
ones Let my shining poll be my answer.

my son. If there Iurked anywhere in all the
materia medica, of not only this age, but of
past ages, the name of one little herb
drug, or whatever you may call it, that could
bid even one hair to grow where there had
been ten before, there would be no bald doc
ters, and the discoverer Of that boon would
live longer in the hearts Of men than the
much spoken of individual who is expected
to reach the summit of all greatness some
day, by making two blades of grass grow
where one grew before!"
