FACTORS PRODUCING badness.

Contributed By the Medical Society q the Diszic,
| q Colmbia-l
The causes Of badness are quite as
different as the forms of badness, but
in this article shall treat Of that form
so prevalent among sthe American and
English male adults and which, without
doubt, constitutes at least 90 per cent
of the cases met with.
There are several conditions which
are commonly supposed TO produce bald
ness, but which are not really direct
causes. These are long hair, tight stif
hats, short hair cut less often, hot
baths. alcohol rubs, &C. It Is needless
to say that these play little or no part
in producing badness. There are causes,
however, which do influence the loss OF
hair, and principal among these are
sedentary city life and the hygiene Of
the skin and scalp associated with this
life.
For instance. It. is well known that
badness is over i've times more COM
mon among city men than among their
country brethren, and this is accounted
for in several ways. First and most i'm
portant are the opportunities for infee-
ton. Our modern barber. while a great

wives and sisters have no trouble In
.obtaining the same condition from the
many beauty parloTs.
Lack of Exercise.
Besides opportunities for infection may
be mentioned lack OF outdoor life and
physical exercise, the greater amount
Of intellectual work. the nervous strain
OF modern city life, more alcohol, and
less wholesome diet.
Sobourand. the great Paris dermatolos
gist, was the first to discover, demon
strate and grow a specific germ from
the scalp, which he named the micro
bacillus, and with this germ he was
able. by injecting It into guinea pigs,
to produce bald spots. Not only did he
prove this. but ne demonstrated that. un-
der certain conditions, the Infection. when
not limited TO the scalp, but spreading
beyond It. could produce quite violent
Inflammation and form Of eczema or
dermatilis.
This Is recognized among the leading
dermatologists OF Europe and America
as the direct cause OF at least 50 per cent
OF badness in both males and females.
There are two forms OF Seborrhoian
dermatitisi the dry and the oily forms,
but the results of both, II continued, are
the same. namely, badness
The symptoms OF the dry form are

The two forms Of Seborrhoian derma-
tits. dry and oily, require different man
agement. II the scalp and hair be dry
lusteriess and dead looking, fIled with
white scales and showing abnormal lack
or natural oil in the scalp, the object
IN treatment would be TO supply this
lack OF oil with fats and oils. II the
nair Is constantly greasy, shiny, and
matted together, even after frequent
washing, this means that the glands OF
the scalp are secreting too much oil for
the hair and that it should be dissolved

Once In Ten Days.
When the scalp is dry and scaly, de-
noting lack Of oil, frequent washinks
only increase the condition. so that II
should be washed not oftener than once

Tor women. II the scalp is oily, II NAV
oe washed every five days for men, and
ntteen days for women. In one case one
Is suitable; in another case, another
acts best The idea that any one article
or prescription will cure all cases is
ridiculous and false. Another popular
idea, namely, that some widely adve--
tised connection discovered by Or. Bolts
or Mrs Smith will be OF more benefit
than remedies prescribed by physician
after careful study of the Individual
case, Is irrational and should be con-
demned /,
After all, an ounce Of prevention is
worth pound Of cure, and since many
scalp diseases are contagious. and may

and towels, this at once suggests a
means Of prevention. by avoiding these

Ject along broad lines and IN a manner
simple enough for the average reader to
follow with profit and pleasure. A graphic
account Is given of the progress of
astronomy from olden times, through
Galilee's discovery of the telescope and
its application, the use OF celestial
Photography, and the thoroughly scien-
tific investigations of Tycho Brahe, who
founded the modern science which is
written about in entertaining fashion.
Methods Of the measurement OF the dis
lance OF the heavenly bodies are clearly
calculated. The work closes with a
chapter on the practical uses and sp-
plication of the principles Of astronomy
