Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by~an inflamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ia.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
purrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently, then. and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpicide an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
