While, her features are fairly perfect her greatest charm lies in a mass of fine, lustrous hair. The opposite picture is identical as to fea tures and other detail except that the wealth of hair is wanting. Both of, these ladies would attract attention anywhere but each for a different reason, one on account of her superb beauty and the other oa account of her comical appearance. - The hair makes all the difference.

This annoying trouble to which everyone is more or less exposed is due to the working of an Invisible growth or microbe called the Dandruff Germ. ' It robs the hair of the snap and luster of health, burrows down into the follicle and eventually loosens the hair, allowing it to fall out. Newbro's Herpicide applied regularly and intelligently kills this germ, keeps the scalp clean and hair healthy. Falling hair is thus prevented and, if the hair follicles have not be come atrophied, a new growth of hair may be anticipated. The life and luster of Herpicide hair Is beautiful to see. Is unmis takable. An abundance of fluffy, glittering hair is woman's chiefest beauty and to permit its needless destruction is unpardonable.

"I had pain In the head, back, spine, liver, chest, and various parts of my body, besides indigestion that caused me much trouble and anxiety. I often thought when I retired at night I would not live through it. I tried medical aid, bnt tc no purpose. "Not knowing what was my main trouble I wrote to Dr. Hartman, after reading of his treatment, for advice, telling him of my various ailments, and he notified me at once that I had ays temie catarrh.
