HERPICIDE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. About three years ago I was troubled with my hair falling ont at an alarming rate.

"A friend of mine induced me to try a bottle of Newbro's Horpicide, which I did, and it did me so much good that I have used it ever since. I can gladly say it has made my hair grow very thick and stopped it from falling ant. It certainly has no equal and I gladly recommend it.

(Signed) ANNA M. BRODE.

A DOCTOR'S REPORTS.

KENVER, COLORADO. "Knowing the composition of Herpicide, I can state that it contains nothing injurious. In twenty-five per cent of the cases of baldness, a neglented dandraff can be considered as its immediate exciting cause or associated condition. Your Herpicide will, in the vast majority of cases, aure and prevent the continuation of dandraff. It is an elegant and ideal hair dressing."
