A SOCIETY WEDDING,

THOSGHTS AND COMMENTS ON THE FUNCTION.

The Church of Sarat Cupigonda, Mayfair, Elaborath decorations of pils and white roses, A crowd of relations, friends, enomies, and indiffereity, watching the marriage ceremony.

NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE

*I am blessed with an atundance of long hair and I use the atmost care in the preserva ion of it. I have never found anything that pleases me as much as Nevtro's Herpicide. It keeps the scalp clean and guitary and adds a lozarious appearance to my hair that no other preparation will give. I consider it most delightfu! to use and I can finly any that I prefer it abore all other pre- parations for the hair.

CLEVELAND, OBIS.

While it is not natural for everyone to have extremely long hair, it is possible for every lady to have beautiful hair, for when the scalp is not diseased; the hair will grow naturally, and abundantly..

The chief disease of the seelp is dandrall which is highly contagious—and dandruff is now known to be caused by an invisible vegetable growth called the dandruff germ. Ordinarily, the first signs of scalp infection are dryness, dulness and brittleness of the bair, although the disease sometimes causes excessive viliness. Following this, the hair loses its lustre, the scalp itches more or less and dandruff appears. Falling hair and baldness represent the last stages of hair destruction.

NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE the original remedy that kills the dandruff gorm-will cure any stage of this discase, except chronic baldness, which is incurable. Herpicide not only destroys the dandruff geim and stops falling hair, but it is a most exquisite hair dressing, making the hair light and fluffy and giving it a silken gloss. Almost marvelous results sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly
