There Is only on* test by which to
Judge of the efficiency of an r article
and that Is by Its ability to do that
which It Is Intended to dot. Many hair
v'.gors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point is? do they eradicate Dan
druff and stop falling hair?
No. they do not. but Herplclde does,
because tt goes to the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets its
life.
I-etters from prominent people every
where are dally proving that Newbro's
Hrrplclde stands the "test of use."
It Is a delightful dressing, clear, pure
