Bald heads will soon be thing OF the
past. and duli-witted humoFists who have
Wa1ed rich by repeating time-worn jokes
about the occupants OF the first rows Al
the theaters will soon have TO seek new
occupations or else find some new butt.
No longer need sensitive old gentlemen
conceal hairless pstes with unsightiy skull
caps or seek the expensive services Of
wigmskeFs IN their despairing efforts TO
conceal tie hirsute ravages OF time.
The day 9f the bald head II past, and in
the future men OF all ages will boast lux
uriant crops OF hair as a result Of the re-
cent remarkable discoveries OF an emil
nent physician. who has demonstrated
that badness can be eradicated and that
With proper treatment the hair can be Te-
stored again and again indefinitely.
Strangely enough. this epoch-making dis
covery has come from a most unexpected
quarter. not Germany, nor France, with

Dr. henahen Hodara, chief Of the der
mai0logical department Of the imperial
Hospital and an eminent physician
standing high in royal favor, has just
been conducting a series Of remarkable
experiments Of surprising scientific inter

| ana the first fun account OF it for the
benefit Of the public was given in a recent
| interview granted by the doctor
DR.. HOdara cited the case of two young
women who Were placed in his charge a
year ago with view to ameliorat!ng the
! condition OF their scalps, at that time co.-
4 spicuously destitute in large tracts Of any
hair
After having given the scalp treatment
| for several MONTHS said DR. Hcdara. Il
! inaugurated 2 series of experiments for
the purpose Of inducing the growth of
hair upon the bald porti)1s. The prCcef,
which l employed was as follows: | first
made large number of quite deep Incl
| sions into the scalp by means of the in
! suument known as the scaritier. These
were made very close together and across
| each other. Then having stanched the
| flow of blood / interspersed and implanted
| upon the intersections of these cuts a
| large quantity of small particles of the
/ patients hair, obtained from a tuft of
| hair which had been clipped off and cut
| up into the smallest pieces, with scissors.
| | covered the whole with layer Of paper
| and above that plaster as a dressing.
The little bits of hair used for plant
| ing are from pieces cut a little irregu arly
from the head. They are of varying sizes,
| one. two, or three millimeters. The great
| er part of them have both eXtremitieS
! clipped, while the other, the natural end
| those which come from the very tip ends
| OF the hair, which have but one eXtr5 nifty
| of the hair, tapers of into a point. ONLY
| the upper portions of the hair are used.
| that is. only those near the ends | want
particularly 10 emphasize the fact that
| among all the bits of hair that / have
| implanted, not one has come from the
| anything like a root formed upon it They
are all freshly clipped and then planted

| formed on the surface of the epidermiS a
| rough stratum which looks like a fine
| membrane, which scales off. together with
a quantity of the hairs. After the falling
| of of this fine scale | aScertained that
| some of the little hair particles had not
| lOosened themselves, but that they had
| taken root and remained quite firmly in
| some of the inciSions l had made with nv
scarifier l further observed that after
| some weeks these little particles which
| had taken root commenced TO grow above
| the level of the skin. and after three or
| four months the hairs thus formed grew
| longer and longer. until finally they De-
