PLAIN QUESTIONS TO

Would Abilene people recon-

MASSAGE OF SCALP SURE TO KEEP
YOU FROM GROWING BALD
By WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

rs THERE any such thing as a hair
4 tonic or a scalp tonic? II so. the
young man who is beginning to grow
bald win be eager to try II.
II is just as logical to think that me-
olcinal applications rubbed into the ends
or the fingers will make the nails grow
faster as II is to believe that any alleged
hair tonic" rubbed into the scalp will
cause better growth of hair.
Why do men grow bald? That is a
question upon which theorists have specu-
lated wonderfully for hundreds of years
but men continue to grow bald about as
fast as ever. There is just one elementary
faet which can be accepted by ALL namely
that failure of nutrition OF the hair follicle
y the cause of the hair dropping out or
ceasing TO grow Our own personal theory
Is that mems headgear tends to interfere
with scalp nutrition by pressure upon the
arteries. and at the same time prevents
the natural preservative action Of air and
sunlight
But. anyway. nutrition of the hair
follicie Is deficient Can II be improved
BY artificial means? Yes beyond the
shadow OF doubt Massage of the scalp
Is the sure remedy. Massage must be
done by the individual himself-and IL is
excellent exercise too.
Il must be done at least once a day,
better two or three times a day for
about five minutes at a time. And II is
most readily performed in the following
manner:
Grasp the scalp with the open hand and.
with nrfn pressure, endeavor to gather up
handful OF scalp in a bunch. First one
hand, for few grabs, then the other, al
tErnately. for II is really hard work Keen
i ~ going systematically over the entire
scalp. until the skin is in a warm glow
DO Il vigorously. Don't be afraid TO put
muscle into the work
