WEARING A WIG.
"A Help to the Health of Those with
Bald Heads

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 toupee or wig. The American
said that he always regarded the wear
ing of a wig as an evidence of q mans
vanity, but he was quite surprised
when the French physician replied:
"You are quite mistaken. The wearing
of wig is regarded by those who have
carefully studied the subject of health
as benefcent safeguard A man who
from any cause has lost good part OF
his hair usually loses it some time aft
er middle life, when his vitality begins
to ebb. You must bear in mind that the
scalp is filled with myrlads of blood
vessels, and when it is exposed with
out the covering that nature intended
to give it man is apt to suffer from
sudden and acute attacks of cold, ca
tarrh and Influenza. | have often pre-
scribed the wearing of a toupee or wig
to patient who has come to me COM
planning of his susceptibility to colds.
and In 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 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 I regard badness
as nothing less than misfortune to
any man or woman. "-Leslie's Weekly.

To Cure q bad Habit.

A way to cure a bad habit is thus
explained by the Rev. Samuel McComb
in the New York World: If you have
a habit you wish to get rid of put your
mind upon it after going to bed. Re
solve to discard that habit at the mo-
ment you are lapsing from semicon-
sciousness into complete unconscious
ness. Repeat the operation several
nights, several weeks if necessary, and
cure will follow. provided that the day
after the first night the experiment is
started you obey the impulse that will
come on you to avoid the accustomed
habit.
