SECURING YOUR SCALP.

VIII Remove the Loose Dandrun Scales
But 1t Won't Cure Dandruff.
II your hair is brittle and thinning,
you have dandruff. The mere securing
of the scalp of the loose scales. won't
cure dandruff; because dandruff is
nothing but scales of scalp being
thrown up by pestiferous little germ
in burrowing its way to the root of the
hair where it saps the vitality causing
falling hair and, in time badness. Now
you can't stop dandruff, nor falling
hair, nor prevent badness unless you
destroy that germ; and the only prep
aration that can do it is the new sci
enrific discovery, Newbro's Herpicide.
In fact no other hair preparation claims
to kill the dandruff germ-all of them
will clean the scalp; soap and water
will do that, but only Newbro's Herpi-
eide gets at the root of the trouble and
kills the dandruff germ.
