Caused bv a Germ

Split hair, harsh hair, lusterless hair,
brittle hair falling hair, all owe their
origin to dandTuff, which is caused by a
measly little microbe that burrows into
the scalp, throwing up the euticle into
dandruff scales and sapping the vitality
of the shair at the root. causing the sew

it finally falls out. Modern science has
discovered a remedy to destroy the dan
