E Auto Ridingl
And Its Effect Upon the Hair.

1t is now generally recognized that
more men and women are becoming
bald today than ever before, and that
the unquestioned cause Is auto riding.
Automobiles stir up q terrible lot of
dust, and in this aust are all sorts of
microbes and germs. These settle upon
the hair and take lodgment in the
scalp, thus setting up diseased con-
dition that works it's way down to the
hair roots. Then the hair begins to
fall out, and it isn't long until the
bare spots can be seen. There is only
one remedy, and that is frequent
washing with Birt's Head Wash. You
should not use ordinary shampoos or
soaps, because they often contain an
excess of alkali, and alkali has a dead
ly effect upon the hair. Brt's Head
Wash is made of mild neutral soap.
scientifically combined with glycerin,
white OF eggs, cocoanut oil and a very
small quantity of salicylic acid to de-
stroy getms and remove disagreeable
odors. CSC. and soc. at all druggists.
