my hair fell out. My coat collar would

profession being that of a barber,
was particular about having my hair
In good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, etc., for
the scalp. These had little or no ef-

try them. l shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, 1
anointed parts Of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
