Fortune Awaits the Man Who Can Solve
the Riddle.
''Can hair be made to grow on bald
heads?" said a fashionable hair
dresser, in response to reporters
query: ''Yes-and no. If person be-
comes bald owing to illness the hair
can be made to grow again. In fact,
1t will grow again without making, but
it can be aided and stimulated in it's
growth by tonics. But if a person is
deprived of his or her hair by natural
loss of vitality, it will not grow again,
and nothing has ever been compound
ed that will restore it. Natural bald
ness comes on gradually, and the awful
day of its complete triumph over the
hairs existence may be postponed by
the use of tonics, but the final catas-
trophe can't be prevented. Long eX-
perience has taught me that fact,
although years tago 1 had the
personal opinion of the renowned
DR.. Bazin, of Paris, to that effect. 1

quarter of century. Ihave lamented

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 bill
lard ball.
THAT is why!" he murmured bitter

but one skilled in every tonsorial art! Ii

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 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 applica-

were capable of curing badness some
one among these experts in the science
of medicine ought to be. You never

prescription for badness. 1 have.
