NEW BRO'S
HERPICIDE
"Ism sending you my photograph le show what Newbro's Harpide bas done for me.
Since I first tried Herpieide upon my hair I have used it xclusively in giving scalp treatments to others, end I would not think of trying to get along without it.”
(Signed) Mr. ANNA CONNY.
2807 ́årcher Ave, Chicago, 111.
Bundreds of lady scalp specialists and hair dressers use and recommend Nowbro'e Horpicido, instead of products of their own manufacture upon which a much larger profit could be made. They claim that Horpicide makes frienda for them and gives much better satisfection. Sime bair dressers use Dorpioide for obstinate cars only, bai why not
use the best tiral?
Elerpicide is delightful dressing that can be used when there is no disease of the scalp, and on an actual remedy' for dandruff, itching sealp and falling hair it stands in a class singularly its own,
Many ladies object to a gummy and sticky hait dressing, or one that is foll of sedimentary chemicals intended to dys the bair. The marked preference for a clean and daily preparation, particularly one that overcomes excessive oilinces and leaves the bair light and fluffy, is reflected in the enormous ale of Newbro's Herpicide. Discriminating ladien become enthusiatic over its refreading quality and exquisite fragrance. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
