APPROACHING
BADNESS
May be Checked by Using Herpieide

The above expression is one which
is used frequently in connection
with hair preparations. Just exact
ly what is meant by it in each in
stance is a question. Badness is
not disease and hence. does not
permit of cure. II is a result in
variably to be traced to the dan
druff germ and if the condition has
become chronic, that is, if there is
complete atrophy OF the hair tollicles
a cure is absolutely impossible,
Approaching badness, seen in
falling hair. may always be checked
and if the hair follicles are not
atrophied the hair may be induced
again to grow.
This is accomplished by regular
applications of Newbro's Herpicide,
which cleanses the scalp aud elimi-
mates the dandruff. Checking the
accumulations of scat skin re-
moves the most common enemy to
beautiful hair
Soft, glossy, fluffy hair cannot
grow on scalp infested with dan
druff any more than delicate
plant can grow on an ash heap. The
scalp must be kept clean and free
from dandruf. The pest remedy
for doing this Is Newbro's Herpicide
which receives the highest endorse
ments from professional men, the
stage and the best people every
where.
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and
S1.00 sizes is sold by all dealers who
guarantee it to do all that is claim
ed. If You are not satisfied your
money will be refunded.
