III your scalp itches you nave dandrun.
The itching is due to the increasing growth
of the mlcrobc that causes drandrud and
this sets up an irritation In the scalp.
Itching scalp is merely a warning, for
wherever there is dandruff there Is bound
to be a loss of hair. Falling hair is never
so slight that Il may be disregarded. Every
hair that falls Is bringing o just 50 much
nearer the inevitable end-baldness.
To stop itching you must get rid OF
the dandruff. The use OF NewbrO's Her
picide will eradicate 1t completely. Every
trace of the scale-ike accumulation will
disappear and the germ that causes 1t be
absolutely destroyed. The hair formerly
dead and dull and falling out takes on
snap and life which go only with a clean,
healthy scalp. There is a world Of salts.
