the underlying skull. as any one can prove
with the fingers. When the scalp becomes
adherent to the bones underneath. and will
not move easily, then the hair will fall, and
the healthiuess of the hair fOllicles will be-
come impaired Therefore. one should have
two ends in view-that of keeping the scalp
perfectly loose and flexible upon its sup
porting framework, the skull, and That or
promoting the flow OF blood to the roots, so
that the hair follicles Will be properly nour-
isued and the oily glands secrete their sub
stance to keep the hair from growing dry
and brittle. In order to do this only three
movements Of both hands in concert are
necessary Before dressing the nair and

work over the hair roots with light and deep
massage, until the finger tips meet at the
same center ;sj the top. For the third move

OF the neck where the hair begins, and de
