Woods Hutchinson, NJ. D., widely known

"The main hope of stopping the advance
of badness lies in the direction of mprov-
ing the general health and vigor, while at
the same time keeping the scalp and the
hair in a clean, antiseptic, well-ventlated
condition. Avoid using too strong soaps,
strong alkalis, such as ammonia and soda,
and too hot water, as all of these take out
too much of the natural lubricant, or oil, of
the hair, and leave it dry and harsh" Birt's'
