The color of the hair depends on little

Sometimes the hair may become white in a

Illness produces the change earlier in life
than 1t would usually take place. AS to
the cause, some have said that the hair be-
comes filled with small air-particles which
make it look gray; others have said that
the outer part of the hair becomes altered
50 that II is like ground glass and you can
not see the color. But a man by the name
of Metchinkoff tells us that the real reason
Is because small movable bodies in the hair
devour the grains OF coloring matter and
move them TO the root of the hair. Some
times poisons in disease. some result OF
sorrow, bring about an effect upon these
small migrating bodies (celis) causing them
TO become active in the above fashion. That
