HAIR
FACTS
ONE
Dandruff is a contagious disease entised by a microbe.
TWO
Dandcuff is a forerunner of itching scalp, falling hair and baldness.
THREE Chronic baldness is enrable.
FOUR
The cause of dandruff can not be washed out of the scalp with sump
and water.
FIVE
The only way to cure dandruff and falling hair is to kill the germ that
'causes it.
SIX
Each day that dandruff” is neglected, adds to the permanent injury of the scalp, for dandruff does not cease voluntarily while the hair lasts.
SEVEN
M
The only safe and satisfactory remedy that will kill the dandruff geria and keep it out of the scalp is NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE.
Kill the dandruff germ with Newbro's Horpicida and the hair is bound to grow as nataie intoudel, Almost mervelous results sometimes fallow the continued use of Ferpicide.

And now we have not the time, Them are things we used to speak of
In the candlelight wear daw; But then we had youth and valour, And now we are pale and word, There are things we used to picture
Of castles of fauoy frea; But then we know the door to them,
And now we have lost the key.
