The discovery Of the dam.
|druff germ as the cause of
|all hair troubles is not a re-
|cent event. Prof. Unna
gave the germ theory to the
world in 1887 and two years
later Sebouraud by his eX-
|periments with a rabbit
proved beyond a doubt the
actual existence of this
germ.
On the heels of this estab-
lishment Of the germ theory
came the discovery of New
bros Herpicide. This was
the first and only remedy
for the destruction of the
|dandruff germ.
There have been other
preparations alleged to kill
this germ, stop falling hair
and itching of the scalp.
But Newbro's Herpicide
really does these things.
For this reason it has long
been known as the Original
Remedy and the only one
that is genuine.
Don't be fooled by pre-
|parations which are trading
upon the marvellous success
OF Herpicide. Remember
you take no chances with
NewBro's Herpicide. It is
ABSOLUTELY guaranteed.
