KEEP YOUR HEAD UNCOVERED.
The Constant Wearing of a Hat Proro
gate* Dandrnff Germs.
There are many men who wear tbeir
hats practically all the time when awake,
and are blessed with a heavy shock of
hair; yet if the scalps of these same men
once became infested with dandruff
gems, the parasites would multiply all
the quicker for lack of air. Baldness
would ensue as the final result. New
bro's Herpicide kills these germs and
stimulates unhealthy hair to abundant
growth. Herpicide is a pleasant hair
dressing as well as a dandruff cure and
contains not an atom of injurious sub
stance. Sold by leading druggists. Send
