ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE
Biology has Proved that Dandru1R is

Science is DOING wonders these days in
medicine as well as in mechanics since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
1t saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally badness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
