NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that DERIVES the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height Of its
blooming glory. that canl5er fed at its
heart. and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women. but thanks to the in
vestigattons of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite, that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
