Make the Hair t;raw.
II make good deal Of money out
of bald-headel men. said the barber
10 New York Fun man. 1t 10 true
that do not know Of any way ~
n cake hair grow ON bald head; but
although I honestly say to every GUS
iomor who asks my opinion exactly
what ! believe II has been my un-
var ing o pcrience that NO baldhead-
cd man gives up without long and
expensive series OF experiments the
hope OF one day seeing
his.. hair. rcstorcds No mat
ter how many other baldheads he may
know. or what variety OF unsucoes.-
ful attempts he may have seen 70 make
hair grow where 1t has once dissp-
pearcd, each baldheaded man seems
determined 10 make all the trials for
himself. He thinks he may succeed
where others have failed. and does not
Lcgrudge the expense.
ii have seen barber whose head
was rs destitute OF har as u marble
top table unblushingly recommend a
hair tonic or hair restorer or invigor-
ator as certain 70 make the hair grow.
The baldheaded man does not ask the
question why the barber has not tried
it on his own billiard ball. but confid-.
ingly purchases bottle after bottle in
the vain hope OF making up for ma
lures deficiencies
There is little fuzx that grows on
many bald heads that causes good
deal Of delusion. Seeing and feeling
this fuzz the bald-headed man thinks
his new crop Is coming surely. He
reasons that II this fuzz Is shaved II
will come out stronger, so he has his
head carefully shaved. Then the fuzz
comes out again. But It Is still a fuzz
and it continues to be fuzz and never
gets to be anything but fuzz 1t can
not be coaxed or driven into anything
but fuzz.
Now, knowing all this the barber
can not be- so blind to his own inter-
ests as to 60 very far out of his way to
convince the hopeful and trusting bald
heads who do not know It. and who
insist upon learning by expensive ex-
periencc. 1t 10 no particular harm
for a. baldhoadeds man to keep ON try
ing first one thing and then another.
II smuses him and is profitable 70 tho
barber.
There Is . badness that comes
from sickness. especially from scarlet
fever whom the hair falls out and the
head becomes baro for brief period.
But in such cases II IL no art OF the
barber and no more concoction OF ma
terials that makes the hair come in
again. 1t IL the remedial effort OF ma
ture. The hair would come back in
such cases without the use OF any pig
ments or ointmontA II is possible
that in many such cases the fact that
tho hair did como back at a time when
some particular ointment was used led
to the belief that 1t was the ointment
that did the.work, although the truth
was that the hair would have come
back without any ointment OF any
kind.
Men arc usually more disposed than
women to experiment on bald heada
One reason OF this Is that men can not
wear false hair so securely as women
do. but rather with greater risk OF de-
lection.
ANY one who could really compel
n growth of hair on all bald heads
would secure an immense fortune and
the gratitude OF mankind. A similar
fortune and gratitude, await the man
who can prevent the growth OF hair
where 1t is not wanted.
