For better Pension.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Please give me some informa
tion; Why Is it that we old soldiers
who get little pension don't get more
every year. as so many die during the
year. which leaves many thousands of
dollars? What do they do with 1t?
Don't think 1t right and justice to
those of us who are almost dependent
on what little we get to live on to
pension all the old soldiers who have
farms and money in bank. as some are
advocating now to pension all of
them: If SO, we will never get any
more. We think we in justice ought
to have good deal more: so few OF

DOCTORS ENDORSE
Newbro's Herpicide

When doctor endorses a preparation
it means more than an ordinary testi-

the professional man devoted to ths

DR.. J. J. Boyd, Covington, Tenn.
says: Il feel it my duty to write this
for the benefit of those suffering from
dandruff. In the average case few
applications of Newbro's Herpicide will
remove all dandruff. 1t is advisable to
continue its use for several weeks
The words of J. B. Thompson. M
D., No. Burrough Place, Cor. Hollis
St., Boston, Mass, are not less enthusi-
astic: Il can only speak in praise of
Newbro's Herpicide. 1t is all that is
claimed and perhaps more. Herpicide
not only cleanses the scalp but bright
ems the hair, gives it life and makes
it soft"
DR.. T. A. Moore, Duncan, Ariz..
writes of his experience: MY scalp
was in places covered by patches of
dry, scaly material and the itching was
incessant Since using Herpicide all
these evils have disappeared and my
hair is soft, smooth and growing. Hair
has grown on spots before but thinly
covered
Newbro's Herpicide is the original
remedy to kill the dandruff germ and
stop falling hair. The terrible itching
which goes with dandruff is allayed
almost at once
J Herpicide is for sale at Drug Stores
and one dollar size bottles are guaran-
