Doctors Advice.

And How Not TO-An Erud1t0 German
Doctors Advice.
A clever writer, the possessor, in
all probability, of bald head, has
proved that badness is a product
and sign of culture. If badness is a
sign of culture, something deyoutly
to be wished, we shall perform a
public service in showing how this
condition can be quickly reached.
Non-scientit1c people will possibly
study our advice in order to do the
opposite, and thus keep their hair as
| long as possible.
eve lose, in the course of time,
said Voltaire, ''our teeth, our hair,
| and our ideas" That may be true as
far as the teeth and ideas are CON
cerned, but we cannot always depend
upon losing our hair.
Persons who long for the proofs Of
culture must resort at once to meth
DDS of art. The first good rule is to
keep the head warm. In summer, if
you wish to become bald, do not wear
straw hat. On the contrary, let
your headgear be felt or cloth hat,
a derby or stOvepipe. In winter
always wear fur cap. While ia the
house, at all times of the year, do not
fail to wear feZ or an oil cap.
Women whose light hats do not
wear off the hair rapidly enough may
accomplish that end by using heavy
switches of false hair. A roll of
fale hair will work even more rapidly
than a fur cap, as the hairs will fall
out by the hundreds when the roll is
heavy enough. The beloved night
cap, so dear to our grandmOthers, is
to be highly recommended also. The
helmet of the officer and policeman is
also a splendid invention. What is
the effect Of these head coverings?
They make the head perspire. Moist
ure is the deadly enemy Of hair. On
the temples and the back of the head
near the neck, usually untouched by
the hats and caps, it is seldom that
one sees badness. A bald ring often
marks the position of the hat or cap
Our young dandies who curry their
heads every morning with two
brushes, and in the course Of the day
comb their hair whenever they see a
mirror, are on the right path to bald
ness. That is also true Of women
who allow their hair to be combed by
Impractical servants.
The savant Gazenave found the
heaviest and most beautiful hair on
the heads which had never been
touched by scissors. People who
wish to become bald should have
their hair cut as often as possible. 1t
is encouraging to notice that this
practice is increasing. Children
have their hair cut often in the alb
surd belief that the hair will become
thicker. Again, go as often as pos
sible to the BARRIERS. In the brushes
and combs of the barber shop, used
Unfortunately upon the heads of
isms destructive to the hair flourish
In great quantities.
The Investigations of Lossar, the
dermatologist, have proved beyond a
doubt that these parasites spread dis
eases. The dandruff from the heads
Of persons whose hair is disappearing
would produce bald spots on the
backs of rabbits or mice. AS long as
BARRIERS are not compelled to disinfect
their brushes and combs there will be
victims ready to purchase hair re-
generators. Finally, excuses are de-
structive to the hair. Caesar and
Louis XIV. both owed their famous
bald pates to immoral living. -Dr.
