ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology has Proved that Dandruff Is
Caused by a Germ.

Science is DOING wonders these days in
Medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
roubled with %dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
,essful cure until Newbro's HerpicIde was
out on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruf or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair. and finally badness. With.
dandruf hair must grow luxuriantly.
IT is the only destroyer of dandruf.
