How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff

The only way to get rid of dandruff
the sure hair destroyer-is to remove
the cause. DR.. Sangerbund, the famous
Paris Specialist, discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by
microbe. Then came the discovery of
the value of the genuine Partisan sage
Qiquid form to destroy this germ and
promptly prevent the further loss of
hair. Get from your druggist about
four ounces, and rub a small quantity
well into the scalp. Only few APP
pHcations are usually needed to destroy
the germs that cause dandruff; your
scalp will Immediately feel cool and
comfortable, and your hair appear soft,
bright-loo6ing and seem heavier than
it really is. Since DR.. Sangerbund S
discovery the American people are rea
izing that dandruff is as unnecessary
as it is dangerous, and that they can
be quickly rid of it and save their hair
but few days use of this inexpensive
and harmless liquid. Be sure you get

of a bond lends his money to his

Legal Killing of Hopeless InvaIds.
New ork World. J

New York World
However strongly cold reason NAV
support in theory the legalized ending
by death of human suffering where re-
covery is hopeless, to the average per
son the suggestion is abhorrent. AT
its convention in Chicago the Ameri-
can Association Of Progressive Medicine
boldly challenged public opinion by its
action IN lnStrueting committee to sub
init to the legislature of every state
the recommendation that statutes be
enacted permitting euthanasia.
DIR. w. \. Gould of Des Moines. the
chief advocate Of the plan of painless
killing III extreme cases, speaking from
personal experience, based his argu-
mentS on the ground of humanity. 1t is
precisely on the plea Of humanity that
the stiifeSt opposition viii be encoun-
tered when sentiment protests against
this form Of relief for patients to whom
| death would be a welcome release. Since
/ the days when savage tribes thought il
/ eNpedIent to rid themselves of wea Kings
iand criPples by exposure. the world has
swung TO the opposite extreme in the
effort to prolong human life under the
most untavorable conditions No ease
IS any longer too desperate to Justify
failure to adopt any steps known TO
science that may keep breath in diving
body. No man wounded in battle is
too hopelessly mangled to excuse negli-
genee IN patching him up into semblance
to hls former self, although all the rest
of his life he may be condemned to be
a helpless wreck.
Whether the public can be brought
around to the view of progressive
medicine that some lives are too
worthless to be saved, and that mercy
demands that they shall be terminated
IS extremely doubtful In its present
stage the scheme is purely academic.
