nedlcine ."is well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a suc
cessful cure until Newbro's Ilerpicide was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
ilandruft or scurf by digging into the
calp to get at the rcot of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally baldness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
