Hope lor tjie Bald. 



A French doctor, who has been study- 

 ing the subject for numy years, says that 

 out of a hundred people from 20 to 30 

 years of age, taken at hazard, '27 will be 

 found to be bahl. Women conceal sucli 

 a deficiency with great cleverness, and 

 are not often detected; but while the loss 

 of hair is not so prevalent among tiieni 

 as among men, yet, if the proportion of 

 tlie fair sex, whose heads are as smooth 

 as doorknobs could be accurately learned 

 the results would be undoubtedly stnrt- 

 ling. Between the ages of 30 and ■H) the 

 percentage of baldheads rises to 47 per 

 100. 



The critical ])eriod, however, is be- 

 tween iO and 50 years. Out of a liun- 

 dred chance subjects, only 25 had fairly 

 good growth of hair, the other 75 being 

 almost destitute entirely of capillai'y cov- 

 ering. When the Goth year is passed, 

 this physician asserts, it is rare to tind a 

 man who has enough hair on the top of 

 his head to make parting a possibility. 



It is consoling, however, to know that 

 this annoying affliction can now be cured, 

 as a wonde'"ful remedy has been discov- 

 ered that will positively produce a luxuri- 

 ant growth of hair on the baldest head. 

 It is also an excellent remedy for thin 

 eyebrows and eyelashes, hair falling, 

 scanty parting, will positively force a 

 growth of whiskers and mustache, on the 

 smoothest face at any age, besides restor- 

 ing gray and faded hair to its original 

 color.
