The San Francisco call., 1913-08-03

"HAT which has been con-
fdently awaited since the
first announcement from
Prof Friedrich Migge, formerly
OF the University of Berlin and
Stanford University, that he had
completed researches which had
provided him with a means of
eradicating the bacteria which
destroy the human hair, has
come to pass. The distinguished
scientist, who has labored for
many years to solve the prob
lem of mans and woman's hair.
has given to every nation a full
explanation of the discovery
which has been the fruit of his
patient efforts and scientific
brain.
Yesterday, in his laboratories
IN The Call building, after day
of unceasing interviews with
more than a hundred visitors.
Doctor Migge signed the last of
duplicated reports upon the
method he has found efectual
IN saving or restoring the hair,
which he has prepared for the
benefit OF the scientists of every
nation in the world.
When the Migge discovery
was announced to the world
and there began to appear at the
Migge Laboratories dailv count
less men and women asking for
the benefits of the treatment
which had been found effective in
eradicating the hair bacteria. If was
promised by the scientist that as soon
as convenient he would spread his
knowledge and the treatment into every
corner of the globe. There were MANY.
not knowing the bacteriologist or his
ambitions, who were skeptica1 at this
declaration Many believed that the
enormous value of the discovery would
influence Professor Migge to retain to
himself the knowledge his untiring ef-
1orts over a period of u years had
earned for him. The scientists only
answer to these has been the mailing
all his experiments and their results to
every archaeological and medical So
clety or prominence in the entire world.
These reports are being mailed today
from the Migge Laboratories, and they
VIII carry with them into every civil
lzed country the means whereby the
fear of baldness that has haunted every
generations perspective of the future
may be removed for all time to come
Since the discovery of the means of
eradicating the yellow fever germ, and
since the Koch experiments with tuber-
culosis bacteria, no scientific investiga-
tion OF therapeutic. Importance has at
tracted such a general attention as has
the announcement that the bacteriolog-
ical expert, now of San Francisco but
formerly OF New York and Germany,
had provided an infallibie cure for the
ailments of the al1air that bring about
badness. 1t has been feared for many
years that eventually the human race
would be a race without other covering
for the head than the scalp itself. The
tendency of later generations has been
more and more toward badness 1t
has been seen that as one generation
follows another the hair of both men
and women begins to call earlier in life,
and a single glance at pictorial history
reveals the fact that more of the men
of today are bald than of those of
decade ago.
MANY EXPLANATIONS
HAVE BEEN OFFERED
Countless reasons for thise condition
have been advanced. Serious investi-
gators have advanced the theory that
the habit of hat wearing is responsible.
Others have laid the cause to the de-
velopment of the race and natures
assumption that the race as 1t is does
not need the same protection from
hair as was needed in jungle days.
Charlatans for more than century
have played upon the sensibility of
both men and women with innumerable
remedies purporting to cure" the
