NO CURE FOR Badness.
Fortune awaits the Man Who Can Solve the
Riddle.


Riddle.
stCan hair be made to grow on bald
heads?'' said fashionable hair-dresser
in response to a New York Mail and Ex-
press reporters query. Yes-and no.
If a person becomes bald owing to illness
the hair can be made 10 grow again. In
fact, 1t will grow again without making,
but it can be aided and stimulated II its
growth by TONES. BUT if person IS de-
priYed OF his or her hair by natural
loss of vitality it viii not grow again,
and nothing has ever been compounded
that viii restore it. Natural badness
comes on gradually, and the awful day
of its complete triumph over the hair 8

of tonics, but the final catastrophe can t

heads for more than quarter
of a century. I have lamented with
hundreds of my patrons, from whose
heads not only the hand of time, but the
indiscretions and carelessness of youth
were gradually but persIstently plucking
the natural and often luXuriant cover

plastered their too apparent polls with
lotions, tonics and pomatums, and
rubbed and kneaded and manipulated
their failing scalps until, if

up at last and handed them the card of
the wigmaker. If L have used one hair
restorer have used 500, and every one
was warranted not only to prevent bald
ness, but to restore to baldheads their
sometime hirsute glory. Look at me.
See what a remarkable growth and
youthful gloss of hair I have. 1t has
not changed in twenty-five years.
Why?''
The hair dresser 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 a billiard ball.
"That is why?' murmured, bitter
". And 1 am not only a hair dresser,
but one skilled in every tonsorial art!
If there were help for badness other.
than the skill of the wig-maker, do you
suppose for moment that I ,,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 profitable customers? If that is not
proof enough that a 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 application will produce. If any one
living were capable of curing badness,
some one among these experts in the
science OF medicine ought to be. You
never had occasion to go to a doctor to
get prescription for badness. L have.
Come to me for a cure for anything
else, my medical adviser said ANY
thing else, said he, and viii cure you.
