NO CURE FOR BALDNESS.

heads ?" said fashionable hairdresser in response to this query.
 t'Yes-and no. If person becomes bald owing to illness, the hair can be made to grow again. In fact, it will grow again without making, but it can be aided and stimulated in ifs growth by tonics. But if person is deprived of his or her hair by natural loss of vitality, it will not grow again, and nothing has ever been com. pounded that will restore it. Natural badness comes on gradually, and the aw- full day of its complete triumph over the hairs existence may be postponed by the use of tonics, but the final catastrophe can't be prevented. Long experience has taught me that fact, although years ago I had the personal opinion of the renowned Dr. Bazin, of Paris, to that effect. have dressed 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 covering, and have anointed, drenched, and plastered their too apparent polls with lotions, tonics, and pomatums, and rubbed and kneaded and manipulated their failing scalps until, if there had been one ember of hair left slumbering there, it must surely have been brought back to it's wonted fire and vigor, and have given 1t up at last and handed them the card of the wigmaker. If have used one hair restor- atiye have used 800, and every one was warranted to not only prevent badness, but to restore to bald heads their some time hirsute glory. Look at me. See what g remarkable growth and youthful gloss of hair have. It has not changed in twenty five years. Why?"
 The hairdresser seized his soft brown hair with both hands, and with vicious jerk removed it from his head. It was g costly wig, and his head was as white and bare as billiard ball.
 tsThat is why'!" he murmured, bitterly. ssAnd am not only hairdresser, but one skilled in every tonsOrial art If there of the wigmaker, do you suppose for 8 mo it, and, knowing it, would not only have rescued myself, but have saved to myself hundreds of my most profitable custom CTS?
