DR.. SdymOnns claims TO have lso'ated

being free from il. The bacIlli invade
the hair follicies and make the hair
very brittle, so that they break off TO
tile SKIN. Then the roots themselves
are attacked. If the microbes can be
d,stTuy-d early in the disease the vital
iiy OF the hairs may be preserved, but
after the fOllIcies are invaded and all
their structures injured the badness is
incurable. The following is DIR. Say

Ten parts crude cod liver oil, ten parts
of the expressed juice of onions and
five parts OF mucilage or the yolk of aii
egg are thoroughly shaken together ami
the mixture applied to the scalp and
well rubbed in once week. This, he
asserts, will certainly bring back the

stroyed, but the application of the rem
