THE POWER OF STEAM.
Hut May See But It Take* Genius to
Realize.
When James Watt saw the stoam
causing the kettle lid to Jump up and
down lie said "There must be power in
that steam that It can lift such a
weight."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the "cause" of Dandruff, Fall
ing Hair, and consequent Baldness, and
his unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newhro's Herplclde destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
