PERSONAL
An Interview With Pref.
Richard FoSs on the Scalp
and Its Treatment.

Professor, can hair be restored,
and restored permanently" asked
the interviewer.
EYES," replied Prof. Foss, "but
only by a scientific treatment OF
the scalp and that treatment must
be administered by one who has
studied everything appertaining
to it. 1t must be one who has
benefited by years of experimental
ton in the laboratories Of masters
who have given a life study to this
particular science; a science that
has been shamefully deformed and
misrepresented by fakirs who ad-
yertise so-called hair restorers' to
cure badness"
Suppose / had a really good
hair restorer, could l get results
through my own application OF
it,"
"You could not" answered Prof.
Foss positively, because you must
first be treated by an expert who
thoroughly understands the pores
of the scalp and the hair follicles.
It is physically impossible for any
one properly either to massage
their scalp or apply to it a tonic.
You could not do this even though
you knew the correct movements
of a massage, which not one per-
son in ten thousand is acquainted
with"
"Please understand" continued
the Professor, "that it is not the
hair, but the scalp that is the vital
point of attack. As the soil must
be plowed and fertilized for plant
ing, so first Of all must the scalp
be made receptive to a treatment
that will produce hair. And that
my treatment will do"
"Does it take very long, this
treatment Of yours?"
&Ahl You Americans always IN
haste" remarked Prof. Foss.
"That is the reason why so many
of you are bald. In some cases /
have produced. results in two
weeks; in others it required as
many months. 1t all depends on
conditions"
"Do you remove dandruffT
"My friend, do not consider me
discourteous if laugh. How could
/ ever restore hair unless / first
succeeded in eliminating the hairs
greatest enemy-dandruff?
professor, did you discover this
remedy in Europe?"
while shall ever be grateful"
answered the Professor, "for the
training / received in French labo-
ratories, it was while in Egypt
where was spending a winter,
that | developed the idea which is
now embodied not only in my hair
restorer, but in the treatment that
precedes the use of it. For this /
must express my gratitude to a
wonderful Arabian physician who
gave me the benefit of his remark
able knowledge regarding the
scalp and hair"
"One last question, Prof. Foss.
Do you claim to cure badness ?"
81 will answer you in this fash
ion," replied the Professor. years
ago l was talking with Jean de
Reszke, the famous singer, in his
studio in Paris about training the
voice and during the conversation
he said TO me this: 'As anyone who
has legs can be taught to walk, so
can anyone who has a voice be
taught to sing And l say to you,"
concluded the Professor, "that
anyone who has a head can grow
hair on it, if the right treatment
is employed"
"But, Professor, are not your
rates very high for this unusual
work ?"
Gust the opposite-my rates,
especially to government employees
who are doing war work, are very
low for the months Of
JULY AND AUGUST.
"To all citizens of Washington
l say come and be convinced
FACIAL BLEMISHES
AND ALL SKIN DISORDERS
ARE QUICKLY ELIMINATED
BY MY UNUSUAL METHOD OF
ELECTRIC TREATMENT AND
MASSAGE"
