8 Cause Badness. pig"
Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation Of
eminent scientists. This microbe
+, lodges in the Sebum, which is the nat.
ural hair oil. and when permitted to
flourish 1t destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on
shiny appearance. When this happens
there is no hope Of the growth of hair
being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandrufY, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitallze the
hair roots, and overcome badness, so
long as there is any life left in the hair
roots.
