Hair Under Fingernails.

The barber was talking. "Ingrowing
hairs in the face are often painful" !"
he remarked, "but they amt in it with
ingrowing hairs under the finger nails.
Fact, I assure you. Ask any barber,
and he will tell you the same thing.
How do they get there? Oh, that's SIM
pie enough. In cutting a mans hair,
a short hair very often flies off the
shears and lodges under the finger nail,
We don't notice it at the time, and it
gradually worl1s its way In until it is
completely out of sight. Then the
trouble begins. Sometimes it takes
root and grows out, but moro often it
just stays there and testers Does the
razor hurt? There you are, sir. Next"
