And my thoughts were wandering idly

Away from crimes and courts.

As if the millennium dawned, And stick my astonished senses With the touch ofs fairy wand.

NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE

Hindreds of lady scalp specialists and haigfressers use and recommend Newbro's Herpicide, instead of pip- ducts of their own manufacture upon which a much larger profit could be made. The claim that Herpicule. makes friends for them and gives much better sa isfaction. Some hair dressers use Herpicide for obstinate cases only, but why got use the best first?

Herpicide is a delightful dressing that can be used when there is no disease of the hair or scalp, and as an getal remedy for dandruff, iching scalp and falling hair it stands in a class singularly its own.

Mao lalies object to a gummy and sticky hair dressing, or one that is full of sedimentary chemicals intended to dye the hair. The market preference for a clan and dainty preparation, particularly one that overcomes excessive oiliness and leaves the hair light and fluffy, is reflected in the enormous sale of Newbro's Herpicide.. Dis criminating ladies become enthusiatic over its refreshing quality and exquisite fragrance. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
