THE HAIR BRUSH.
Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Failing
Hair and Finally Badness.

Prof. Unna Hamburg, Germany, European
authority on skin diseases, says that dsndruif
is as contagious as any.other melevolent di-
ssase, and that one common source OF the
spread Of dsndruff is the use of the sane hair
brush by different persons. The way to
avoid catching dsf druf or any ether disease
from auo.her's brush, is to insist on the use Of
Newbro's Herpici1e. il not only kills the
dandruff germ, but it is also an antise ptic
that will prevent the catching of any disease
whatever through contagion aOf ano hers
