WHAT CAUSES DANDRUFF
Greatest European Authority
on Skin Diseases, Says It's
a Germ.

The old idea was that dandruff
was scales of skin thrown off,
through a feverish conditionof the
scalp is exploded. Prof. Unna,
Hamburg, Germany, European
authority on skin diseases, says
dandruf is a germ disease. The
germ burrows under the scalp,
throwing up little scales of cuticle
and sapping the vitality of the
hair at the root. The only hair
preparation that kills dandruff
germs is Newbro's Herpicide. De-
stroy the cause, you remove the
effect. Not only cures dandruff,
but stops falling hair and causes a
luxuriant growth. Delightful hair
dressing. For sale by Elliott &
Harvey.
