is a sign that either the hair follicles
have ceased to functionate or that the
bacteria have killed the hair roots.
When either condition is met with my
science nor any other can bring back
the hair. Once in a great while in such
a case some of the roots retain enough
| life to make it possible to bring back
thin covering of hair-but even when
this can be done 1T takes a long time;
nearly always year or so. AS rule.
however, a shiny scalp indicates that
the hair roots are dead and when 1
find this to be the case l can only. re-
gretfully, refuse to give any hope.
NO HOPE FOR SOME
1t is when the hair is falling or when
the bald places have not yet covered
the entire top of the head that my dis
covery will be surest in removing the
trouble and allow nature to grow the
hair that will come when the roots are
| healthy. Mere falling hair is, of course,
comparatively easy to remedy. Brit
tie hair and split hair, which never yet
has yielded to treatments such as mas
, saying" and hair tonics, soon re-
gains healthfulness and vigor when the
bacteria that are at work on the roots
or in the hair canals are removed.
Where badness has begun or where
1t is not too far advanced, nature will
herself bring back strong, healthy hair,
just as soon as the hair roots are freed
from bacteria 1T is interesting to
compare the hairs of a man who is
bald in places. Those near the bald
spots show the bacteria infection quite
clearly, while those in other parts Of
the scalp show the bacteria just begin
ming their work. | am always glad to
show each man or woman the bacteria
at work on their own hair.
MANY people, too, have asked me for
too quick results. / am sorry some-
times that i can not promise immediate
relief. Or elimination of the bacteria
right away Bacteria are not easily
conquered, sometimes. / usually can
determine, after the laboratory exam
ination, when a culture has been pre-
pared, about how long it will take to
eliminate the infinitesimal organisms at
work, and am very careful to be con-
servative. Sometimes week, two
weeks. or three will free the hair from
it's infection and permit the new growth
to begin. Other times a month or two
months is needed. In desperate cases
even longer time is required. In due
time, however the treatment does its
work and I always gauge my promises
as the facts in each case warrant.
Frequently my visitors, especially
those of the fairer sex, ask me II
can not help them rid themselves of
such things as 'superfiuous hair There
is a great field for some one who will
guarantee to remove superf1uous hair
without injuring the skin or otherwise
causing harm [ am sorry / can not
do this. There may be some safe way
but l have confined my researches Is
far as the hair is concerned to way of
making it healthy, thereby allowing it
to grow as it should, not killing IT."
Because of the many requests that
have come into the Migge Laboratories
from places distant from San Fran
cisco for interviews with Professor
Migge on Sundays, it has been decided
to keep the laboratories in The Call
building open for demonstration Sun
day mornings. This step has been
made necessary by explanations from
men and women living outside the city
that Sunday is practically the only day
they can conveniently visit the city.
These are asked, by the bacteriologist,
to send him samples of their hair in
advance of their visit. that he may be
able to report to them the length of
treatment necessary and the time it
will take to accomplish the results
needed at the time of their hrst per-
