WASHING WITHOUT WATER
is Like Trying to Get Rid of Dandruff
without Herpicide.

Did you ever see any one trying to
wash themselves without soap or
water?
If you did what would you say OF
him?
1t is every bit as foolish to try to get
rid Of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by feeding the germs which cause
it, with Canthrarides, Vaseline, Glycer-
inc and similar substances which form
the principal ingredients of most So
called Hair Vigors.
Newbro's Herpicide is successful be-
cause it attacks and kills the parasitic
germ which feeds on the hair roots.
