A specimen equally impossible is the

The singer of comic songs has an in
eradicable confidence in himself. He has
been told that he has funny face. Be-

When the song begins the singer talks

Proves that Parasites Cause Hair
 Losc.
 Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasitic germs. The importance of this dis covery by Professor Unna, of the Charity hospital. Hamburg. Germany, cannot be overestimated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations even of the most expensive character fail to cure dandruff; because they do not and then can not kill the dandrun germ. The only hair prepartion in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burrow up the scalp into scales called scurf or dan druff. is Newbro's Herpicide. In ad dition to its destroying the dandrun germ Herpicide is also delightful hair dressing. Sold by leading drug gists. Send 1Oc in stamps for samples to the Herpicide Co. Detroit.
