A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep
teal of Its Truth.

II there Is the slightest doubt in
the minds of any that Dandruff
germs do not exist, their belief Is
compelled by the fact that rabbit
innoculated with the germs became
bald In six weeks time.
II must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction of the
germ-which act Is successfully ac-
eomplished in one hundred per cent
OF cases by the application of New
bros Herpicide.
Dandruff Is caused by the same
germ which causes badness and can
be prevented with the same remedy
