For imparting health to the scalp and lus-
uriance to the hair nothing excels NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE. It is familiarly known to thous-
ands of users throughout the World as the Orig-
inal Remedy for destroying dandruff contagion
and saving the hair and as a delightful hair-
dressing. The letter from Mrs. C. K. Sharp of
Luverne, Ala., which comes voluntarily and un-
. solicited, is a glowing tribute to the wonderful
■ power for good concealed in this well-known
scalp prophylactic.
Read Mrs. Sharp's Letter.
,Luverne,
7 I want to give my testimonial on the wonderful results of using Herpicide. December 1'4 th.
191 1, we adopted a little girl from the Orphanage. Her head was almost entirely covered with
what we term "scaled head," one side being entirely bald. I used every remedy I ever read or
heard of including physician's prescriptions but they availed nothing. At last in desperation
and as an experiment, because it isn’t advertised for that. I began on Herpicide. The first few
• applications stopped the itching. After using two and a half bottles she was entirely cured.
I wish you could see her hair. If I had used any more Herpicide I don’t know what we
would have wone with it as she already has hair enough for two. The bald places are well cov-
ered and it is peculiar that all the new hair is curly while the old hair is straight. The child,
whose name is Elcurtis, is now eight years old and calls herself the "Herpicide Girl."
N MRS. C. K. SHARP.
Each day reveals almost marvelous and frequently astonishing results achieved by the use
of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE. There are surprises in every bottle which may be expected by
- “ the one who uses HERPICIDE carefully and intelligently. While the results ere not always of
such an astonishing nature as those experienced by Mrs. Sharp they ere invariably satisfying.
HERPICIDE eradicates the contagion that causes dandruff and thus checks itching of the
scalp and falling hair. The life, luster and luxuriance of the hair, so intensely admired by ev-
