AN OLD IDEA.
Shown To Re Absolutely False B,
 Modern Science.

People used to think that badness was one of those things which are handed down from generation to gen. eration, from father to son-just like family heirloom.
 Science has shown the falseness of this belief by proving that badness itself is not constitutional disease but the result of germ invasion of which only Herpicide can effectually rid the scalp.
 Washing only cleans the scalp of Dandruff, it doesn't kill the germs. Destroy the cause you remove the effect"
 Newbro's Herpicide will do this in every case. It is also a delightful dressing. Sold by leading druggists. Send Toe in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co, Detroit, Mich. E. c. Fowler, Spe- cial Agent.
