TO

YOUR

How many

hard-earned

dollars

have you

spent to

save your

hair?

How

many

hair tonics,

gadgets,

restorers, electrical devices,

hove you

triedinthe last

few

years

—

with

no

success?

How

many

times after

on

unsuccess-fulhair-growing

attempt have

you sworn

not to

spend

on-other cent

on another

hair treatment?

Yet,

you buy

the

next

product that

comes

on the

market

with

hair-growing

claims.

CAN YOU

GROW

HAIR?

Doctors

who have

spent

a

life-timestudyinghair

and

hair

growth

hove concluded

that

nothing

now

known can grow

hair

on a bold head.

So,if

you

ore bald,

prepare

to

spend

the

rest

of

your

lifethat

way-

Accept

it

phil-osophically

and

quit

spending

hard-earned

dol-lars

on

hairgrowers.

If

you

can't

grow hair— what can you do? Can

you

stopexcessivehairloss?

Can you

save the

hair

you

still

have?

Can you

increase thelife

ex-pectancy

of

your

hair? Probably.

Please

HOW

TO

SAVE

YOUR

HAIR

itchyscalp, hair loss,dandruff, very dry or oily

scalp,are

symptoms

ofthescalpdisease called

seborrhea.

These

scalp

symptoms

are often

warn-ings of

approaching

baldness.

Not every

case of

seborrhea

resultsinbaldness,butdoctors

now

know

that

men and

women who

have

thisscalp disease usually lose their hair.

Seborrhea

isbelieved

caused by

three parasitic

germ organisms

(staphylococcus albus,

pityrospo-rum

ovale, microbacillus).

These

germs

firstinfect

the

sebaceous glands and

later

spread

tothe hair follicles.

The

hair follicles atrophy,

no

longer

can

produce

new

hairs.

The

resultis"thinning"hair

end

baldness.
