that n microbe muses. badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebum. which Is the nat
nral hair oil. and when permitted 10
flourish 1t destroys the hair follicles
and In time the pores entirely close
and hte scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this happens
there Is no hope OF the growth Of hair
being revived.
Dandruff Is n contagious disease,
which Is largely due to a destructive
microbe. which wien left to nurstt.
It's course causes itching scalp. falling
hair and badness. Dandrufr Is caused
by the microbe affecting the glands
which produce the sebuceous matter,
which latter then nnnaturaily dries I'll,
and scales off.
We have a remedy which will. we
honestly believe. remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe. promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
