Austin, bacteriologist, hair and scalp specialist of Chicago, who bow has offices at The Owl Drug Co., says that It is really remarkable that so few men and women nowa days possess an abundance of beauti ful, healthy hair. Prof. Austin is prob ably right in saying that so little is generally known about the hair and scalp that when a little trouble ac tually arises the person afflicted turns to anything recommended by anybody, and usually the results are disastrous. Science has proved that different ailments of the hair and scalp require different treatments. The particular trouble with which your hair or scalp is afflicted must be known before it can be intelligently treated. Guesswork is of no practical value concerning hair troubles Prof. Aus tin has found that only a powerful microscope can determine the exact trouble with which the hair or scalp is afflicted. Prof. Austin says that the use of mange1 cures, dandruff cures, hair tonics, vaseline and elixirs is like tak ing medicine without knowing what you are trying to cure.
