NO CURE FOR BADNESS.
A Tonsoriai Artist Says Fortune Await
the Man Who Can Solve the Riddle.


the Man Who Can Solve the Riddle.
"Can hair be made to grow on bald
heads?" Said fashionable hairdresser,
in response to a reporters query: eyes
and no. If a person becomes bald ow-
ing 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 its 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
compounded that win restore it. Natural
badness 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 catastro-
phe can't be prevented. Long expert
ence has taught me that fact, although
years ago l had the personal opinion Of
the renowned DR.. Bazin, of Paris, to
that effect. / have dressed heads for
more than quarter of century. l
have lamented with hundreds of my pa
irons 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 an
ointed, drenched and plastered their
too apparent polls with lotions, tonics
and pomatums, and rubbed and kneaded
and manipulated their failing scalps un-
til, if there had been one ember of hair
life left slumbering there, 1t must surely
have been brought back to its wonted
fire and vigor, and have given it up at
last and handed them the card of the
wigmaker. If ! have used one hair re-
storative have used 500, and every one
was warranted to not only prevent bald
ness but to restore to bald heads their
sometime hirsute glory. Look at me.
See what a remarkable growth and
youthful gloss of hair have. 1t has not
changed in twenty-five years. Why?"
The hair dresser seized his soft brown
hair with both hands, and with vicious
jerk removed it from his head 1t was
costly wig, and his head was as white and
bare as billiard ball.
''That is why" he murmured bitterly.
"And am not only 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 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 profta-
BILE customers? If that is not proof enough
that a man once bald is always bald, just
call to mind doctors of your own ac-
quaintance who are bald as glass globes
They are learned in the mysteries of
drugs and their preparation. They know
what result their combination and appli-
cation 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 doctor to get pre-
scription for badness. have.
"'Come to me for cure for anything
else,' my medical adviser said. Any
thing else, said he, and l will cure you.
But baldness Why, my dear sir, Escu-
lapius himself was as bald as-as bald as
well, as bald as l am!
"And he was bald, this doctor of mine.
An onion has more hair than he had No,
my son. If there lurked anywhere in ALI
the materia medica, of not only this age
but of past ages, the name of one little
herb or 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 doctors nor bald hair
dressers, and the discoverer of this boon
would live longer in the hearts of men
than would the much spoken of indi-
vidual who is expected to reach the sum-
NIT of all greatness some day by making
two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before. New York Mail and Ex-
