WEARING A WIG.

A Help to the Health of Those With
 Bald Heads.
 An eminent American who while in Paris consulted famous physician of that city to ascertain if there was any remedy for badness was told by the doctor that the best thing to do was to wear a toupee or wig. The American said that he always regarded the wear ing of a wig as an evidence of a mans vanity, but he was quite surprised when the French physician replied: "You are quite mistaken. The wearing of a wig is regarded by those who have carefully studied the subject of health as beneficent safeguard. A man who from any cause has lost good part of his hair usually loses it some time aft CT middle life, when his vitality begins to ebb. You must bear in mind that the scalp is filed with myriads of blood vessels, and when it is exposed with out the covering that nature intended to give it a man is apt to suffer from sudden and acute attacks of cold, ca tarrh and influenza. 1 have often pre- scribed the wearing of toupee or wig to patient who has come to me com plaining of his susceptibility to colds, and ill nine cases out of ten after the wig has been worn the susceptibility has ceased at once. Many cases of deafness I have traced to colds con- stantly recurring in those who have lost their hair and who have provided no substitute for natures covering. Some cases of chronic sore throat are traceable to the same cause In some instances patients suffering from tu- berculosis of the lungs in the early stages have found decided protection from colds by wearing wig. Those who need to wear a wig and will not do so must be regarded as victims of vanity rather than those who, accept ing the inevitable, make the best of their misfortune, for 1 regard badness as nothing less than a misfortune to any man or woman."-Lesle's Weekly.
