FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS
Do Hair No Good, But often Cause II

Many hair preparations are fake"
because they are merely scalp irri-
tants. They often cause a dryness,
making the hair brittle. and. finally,
lifeless. Dandruff is the cause of all
trouble with hair. 1t is a germ dis
ease. The germ makes cuticle scales
as it digs to the root of the hair, where
it destroys the hairs vitality, causing
it to fall out. To cure dandruff, the
germ must be killed. Destroy the
cause. you remove the effect" New
