COURSE IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS!
(Copyright. 1000. by
THE OREGONIA-N'S HOMESTUDY CIRCLE:
XVI. XOTES AXD HIXTS FOR AMA
TEURS. BY F. DUNDAS TODD.
Notes and hints! Well, the average
jnan is In need of a whole lot of them,
but the problem Is, which particular one3
does he need most at the present mo
ment? The field of photography is a big
one, and some particular phase of It may
be brought under h!s notice today that
may not Interest him the least little bit.
and yet a month later he might be willing
to give considerable to have the informa
tion placed hj bis hand. Again, I do not
believe much In giving hints. I much pre
fer speaking plainly and telling how to do
certain things. On the other hand, a gen
eral test like this permits a man. if he
feels like it, getting to a few body blows
on matters that do not justify a special
article.
For Instance, I should like to get after
the average amateur photographer on his
craze for what he dignifies with the title
of "experimenting." He buys a camera
to make pictures, but before he has had It
a. month one would think his sole aim in
life was to become an expert photographic
chemist. He exposes plates no longer to
have a record of something that Interest
ed him, but that he may have a neces
sary adjunct in trying a new developer.
He makes prints to experiment with a
new brand of paper or a new toning bath.
He thinks, he talks, he dreams about his
experiments and honestly believes that
come day he is going to hit upon a com
bination that will automatically produce
line pictures. As a matter of fact, he s
wandering In a perfect bog, and Is doomed
to stay there until he dies photographic
ally or until somebody lifts him out and
seats him on firm ground. Now, among
my readers there are certain to be thou
sands of this type, and I want to hand
out to them a few cold facts in order to
bring them to their photographic senses.
I think there is more stupid nonsense
talked about developers than anything
else." Thousands upon thousands claim as
n result of experiments that they can
work wonders by modifying the develop
ing solution, and talk wisely about saving
this plate and that plate by their skill
and judgment. Rulibifh! Their experi
ments are not worth the price of the
water used in making them. In experi--mental
work the rule is one variation at
a time, all other factors being constant.
So when a man exposes a plate today on
a snow scene and develops with one chem
ical, and a week later on a portrait, de
velbplng with another chemical, he Intro
duces a large number of variations light
ing, length of exposure, temperature of
solutions and duration of development.
How can any sane man draw definite con
clusions from such a mixture as this?
Of recent years a few, a very few. men
have devoted much time and thought to
this problem, and their conclusions are
now In the hands of the public for its
consideration. As a matter of fact, they
find, given a certain exposure on a plate,
that It Is really Immaterial what particu
lar developer Is used, whether pyro, met
al, hydroklnone. ortol or anything else.
If the negatives be all brought to the
same density. So much, then, for hoping
to improve underexposures or overexpos
ures by the use of a certain developer.
They have also proved that once devel
opment has started It Is utterly impossi
ble to modify the final result by tinkering
with the developer. So all this talk of
saving an overexposed plate by the addi
tion of this, that or the other thing is
pure nonsense if development has started
before the condition of the exposure Is
discovered. They do. however, say that
modification i possible, to a very limited
extent. If the error of exposure Is known
before development has been begun. But
it requires a man to be a scientific expert
to know exactly what to do to get the
effect he desires In a case of overexposure;
and, expert or not. he cannot make any
improvement In a case of underexposure.
"With the average man the only modifica
tion possible Is In the duration of develop
ment, the principle being that prolonged
Immersion in the solution tends to give
contrary negatives, while flat negatives
are got by curtailing the time In the bath
He was a shrewd observer who many long
years ago remarked that the character
of a negative was determined the mo
ment the shutter was closed. I think I
have said enough to demonstrate that
thi fooling around with developers Is a
very unprofitable occupation for any
thinking Individual. The formula recom
mended bj the platemaker Is quite good
enough for me. for I know he has in his
employ highly trained chemists, and that
they, have maoe hundreds of systematic
experiments before recommending the par
ticular combination that comes with the
plates. On the other hand, I would be
Just as content to take any of the ready
made solutions supplied in the stores if
I were certain they were compounded of
pure chemicals.
The technical sldo of photography is
becoming every day more and more an
exact science, and print after print is
brought under the domain of law. In my
early photographic days I was assured
I had to "feel" the correct exposure, and
that If I went a little wrong I could com
pensate In development. I never yet In
all my photographic life felt the correct
exposure or any other kind of exposure,
but I soon found myself calculating it
from my past experience. Exposure is as
much a matter of natural law as are the
combining principles of chemicals, and
there Is now no excuse for haphazard
when making a picture. I need not say
one word about my own tables, which are
probably well-known to many of my read
ers. I might talk about experiments- In ton
ing baths and with brands of paper as
freely as I have talked about developing,
but I shall ccntent myself with suggest
ing one particular line. It Is this hac
every bath 'from the first washing water
to the last at exactly the same tempera
turesay. 65 degrees. One of the finest
printers I know assures me that thlo Is
the secret of her success. There is no
guesswork at any stage, but absolutely
uniform conditions. Every bath Just Ei
degrees, the same strength of toning solu
tion every time, just the same number of
prints In each quantity of water and kept
there for Just so many minutes by the
clock. And the same thing In the hypo
bath. The results are prints of a beauti
fully even purple tone that I have never
seen surpassed.
If you bought a camera to make pic
tures, please stav by your original Inten
tion. Anybody x can learn the ordinary
routine of photography In three months,
but it takes a lifetime to learn to make
pictures. Here is a magnificent field for
experiment Just think of it: an occupa
tion for life, and a pleasant one at that.
Every exposure a problem. I have made
many thoutunds in my life, but I never
found the conditions exactly the same in
any two of them. There was always
something different that had to be figured
on, and you will urdenstand the pleasure
there is in meeting a difficulty and by In
genuity surmounting It.
And that reminds me that I have a lit
tle trouble of my own on hand Just now.
Five years ago I saw Niagara for the first
time, and of course I photographed it
El ery negative went into the rubbish bju.
My friends thought they were fine, but
they did not please me- You all know the
average picture of Niagara; beautiful ef
fects of water, but miserable rendering
of foliage and rock black smudges, noth
ing more. The next Summer I tried with
feochromatlc plates and a color screen. I
taw some Improvement, but still the same
miserable effects in leaves and stone. The
next time I went to Niagara I left my
camera at home. It was not because I
was Indifferent, but simply because I had
aot solved a problem that stared me In

DIRECTED BY PROF- SEYMOUR EATON
the face and was In my mind almost ev
ery day. I knew It was within the power
of isochromatic plates to give me the ef
fect I wanted, provided 1 got the r'ght
kind of color screen. Now, as I have hint
ed, merely to go out and try different
color screens on different landscapes is no
way to experiment, but It was necessary
to get a very definite scientific idea of
what I wanted and Juet as exact a means
of proving when I had got the right an
swer. It has 'taken me five years to col
lect the data I wanted, and I am now
making the apparatus for my experiments.
I expect to have the answer to my prob
lem before I make a single exposure on
a natural subject. I tell you all this Just
to Illustrate how completely every phase
of techn'cal photography falls under the
laws of science. Experiments made by In
dividuals Ignorant of even the elementary
principles of science are worthless.
But ft is different In the realms of art.
The purpose of a picture Is to give pleas
ure; and If it does that for even five min
utes It has fulfilled ivj ml a'.on. Its maker
has mode something worth making, even
although within a week he may have
learned a little more. And so on always,
happy over a picture today, seeing its Im
perfections tomorrow, but with pleasure,
for there' Is the satisfaction of something
attempted, something done, always a little
more learned, always a little more to be
learned.
All along I have tried to Impress my
readers with the Idea that a camera has
no brains, but brains have been expended
upon It. Often do I tako up a new Inatru- t
ment and for half an hour admire the
brain power displayed In the mechanical
Ingenuity It exhibits- even In littie details. I
And then my equanimity Is upset by get- :
ting half a dozen letters asking me which I
Is the best camera. Any one of the lnstru-
ments on the market today selling at $15
would have been considered wonderful j
value lor tne money a aozen years ago
at almost 10 times the price. And yet peo
ple keep on thinking they must get finer
tools In order to make finer pictures. Fine
tools are undoubtedly good; I am fond of
them mjeelf. but every outfit on the mar
ket today is a fine tool, and any one who
cannot make fine work with it must blame
himself and not the Instrument- I have
In my day made a few, a very lew, good
photographs, and nearly all of them were
made with a cheap, nameless French lens.
One of them I submit as the only illus
tration this week, with the remark that I
spent three months thinking about it in a
general way and three :n a very special
nay before I made the attempt.
Note. This concludes the "Course In
Photography." No examinations will be
set In this course.
EAST SIDE NOTES.
Rev. W. T. "Wardlc Goes to Spokane
Dinner to Veteran Only.
Rev. W. T. TVardlo. who has been pas
tor of the Mlzpah Presbyterian Church,
on Powell and East Thirteenth streets, has
tendered his resignation and accepted a
call from Centenary Church, Spokane. The
church accepted his resignation with much
reluctance, owing to the dce,p attachment
felt for him and his family, and for the
effective work he has done since he has
been the pastor. Since he has been pas
tor much of tee heavy debt that rested
on the congregation has been removed,
and In all lines M'rrah Church Is pros
perous. The call came to Mr. Wardle
from Centenary Presbyterian Church in
a unanimous form, and Mr. Wardlc felt
that he must accept- On a former occa.
rlon he rccelve-i a call, but then felt that
his work was nreded at MIzpah, but now
the church is In such condition that an
other man can take It up and carry It
forward. Atpnj-ent Mr. Wardle is In the
East attending the sessions of the General
Assembly, but will return In a few days.
His resignation trkes effect the first day
of June. He and his family hope to be
able to move to Spokane, by the Sth of
June, and alreidy have packed a portion
of their household goods. Outside of
Mlzpah Church he -will be missed from
the community, and also by the Portland
Presbytery.
Dinner to Old Soldier Only.
Harriet Stephens, secretary of the Wom
an's Relief Corpse of Pleasant Home,
states that the Impression has gone abroad
that the corps was preparing to serve din
ner on Memorial day to all who attend
the exercises. This is not the case at
all. It was distinctly announced that the
dinner will be served to old soldiers and
Jlhelr families only, for the reason that
"many of them live some distance from
Pleasant Heme, and cannot go to their
homes after the forenoon exercises and
get back in time for the afternoon pro
gramme. The women of the corns are
naturally alarmed over the prospects, as
It has come to their ears that people are
coming to enjoy their hospitality from as
far as the Sandy, as their reputation as
fine cooks has spread far and near. But
notice Is given that all who are not vet
erans had better bring their lunch bas
kets well stocked, as the Relief Corps will
not be prepared to feed them. AH
throughout the neighborhood, hiwcvcr,
are Invited to attend the services and exer
cises of the day. Three ccrneterica con
taining soldiers' craves are to be deco
rated, and thete are: Hall, on the Base
Line road- Douglass, near Troutdale;
Pleasant Home, back of the church.
Literary Society Programme.
The annual literary exercises of the Co
lumbian Literary Society of the Portland
University will take place thl.s evening in
the chapel of the building at Sunnyslde.

East TTTenty-Mxtlt Street.
Road Superintendent Kelly has a force
of men with plows and scrapers at work on
the crossroad on East Twenty-sixth street,
between the Section Line and Powell's
Valley road, grading and clearing it. The
work is being mostly done on the east
side of the street railway and alongside
the cycle path recently completed. It
will be graded and smoothed out, and after
a thne will be graveled. Residents In the
neighborhood are reatly pleased over this
Improvement, as It will accommodate them
largely. The cycle path here, which Is
part of the path that extends to "Wocd
stock. Is In fine condition, and Is well pro
tected against damage by teams by means
of posts set up at intervals.
, At the Adveatlst Cnup Groand.
The Seventh-Day Adventlst people are
In the midst of a very successful gather
ing at their camp in Holladay's addition.
Many have been coming In every day,
and the attendance Is probably larger
than on former occasions. The storm of
Wednesday afternoon caused no materlil
damage to the tents. Yesterday after
noon a large audience listened to an ad
dress by Dr. Kellogg, of the Battle Creek,
Mich., sanitarium. The services were
much extended, but the Interest was held
all the way through. Everything,!". mov
lrg along plcasanily on tHe grounds. 1.e
evening meetings are all well attended,
and the best of order Is maintained.
DEMAND GOOD WAGES.
Asiatics Want to Share la Geaeral
Prosperity.
Laboring men continue so scarce In
Portland that farmers have given up hopes
of hiring whites, and are looking for evon
green Japanese. The Jap is said to be a
good farmhand, when once be has been
taught how to manage horses, being a
natural digger of the soil. The Japanese
like good wages as well as anybody, how
ever, and he speedily seeks a "raise"
when he has acquired a certain amount
of proficiency. A gocd many green Japs
are flndirig their way to Portland from
Puget Sound ports, and they do not remain
long Idle after reaching here.
An employer said yesterday: "White
men need not be afraid of Chinese
or Japs lowering wages, so long as the
Asiatics are not brought here under con.
tract, as the Chinaman won't work "for
nothing If he can help it." To verify this
the speaker referred to the wages paid
Chinese "cooks from 130 to ?00 per month
and board and they will not work for a
cent less than a while man.
"I could give 500 white men work, if I
could find them in Portland." an employ
ment agent said; "but they are not to be
had, and so tho railroads are compelled
to employ Japs, one company alone having
put 000 of the little fellows to work, this
season. The white men are not in the
country, and the good wages being offered
fail to attract enough of them, either."
BADGE PRESENTATION.
J. E. Thlelsen Honored by Employes
of Portland Ralliray Company.
A very pleasant scene was enacted this
morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, in the
hall opposite the car barn of the Port
land Railway Company, at the head of
Washington street. About 50 conductors
and motormen had arranged to present
J. E. Thlelsen, their ex-superlntendent,
with a token of esteem In the form of a
beautiful badge. The presentation speech
was made by Mr. Kllartaln, who spoke
feelingly of the esteem in which Mr.
Thlelsen was held by his former em
ployes. W. J. Thomas followed In a few
appropriate remarks, and spoke on behalf
of his fellow-workers, wishing Mr. Thlel
sen Godspeed and good luck In all his
futuro undertakings. Mr. Thlelsen was
much affected, his manner assuring the
boys more emphatically than words could
of his, appreciation. He told them -that
his lot had been a happy one when cast
with them, and in all the little worries
attendant upon the duties of officials and
employes, "I have helped you and you

have helped me." Mr. Thlelsen was fol
lowed by F. I. Fuller, the present superin
tendent, who assured the meeting of the
pleasure the episode had afforded him.
He was proud as Mr. Thlelsen could pos
sibly be to see jo much mutual good will
manifest between them. Colonel David
M- Dunne made a very happy hit in his
speech, which followed, for he Invited
the boys to refreshments after the exer
cises were over Captain E. S. Edwards
also made a few brief remarks, as also
did J. B. Paddc-ck. and the company ad
journed to Mr. Thlelsen's residence, near
by, where refreshments had been prepared
for them. The occasion was one to be re
membered with pleasure by all the par-
ticlpant.

Abrogate section 10 of article XI and
substitute therefor:
Section 10 No county, city, town, school
district or other municipal corporation
shall be allowed to become Indented In
any manner or for any purpose to an
amount, including present existing indebt

centum on the vaiue of tho taxable prop
erty therein, to be ascertained by the last
assessment for state and county taxes
previous to the incurring of such Inaeb.
edness. .
Adopted by the Senate January 30, 1SS3.
and January 21, 1195; Hotwe, February 2,
1S9.S, and February 4. li25.
The present section 10 provides: "No
county shall create any debts or liabili
ties which shall singly, or in the aggre
gate, exceed the sum of $5(m, except to
suppress Insurrection, jor repel invasion;
but the debts of any county, at the time
this constitution takes eaect 055?) shall
be disregarded In estimating the sum to
which such county Is limited."
Jndlcinry Amendment.
Abrogate section 10 of article VII. and
substitute therefor:
Section 10. The Legislative Assembly
may provide for the eiec.lon of Supreme
ana Circuit Judges In distinct oasses, one

be necessary.
Adopted by the Senate February 15, U93,
and January 31, 1SS5; concurred In by the
House February 15, 1S33, and February 6,
1SD5.
Under the present Constitution, there
are three Supreme Judges, who are not
required to perform circuit duty. If the
Judiciary amendment carries, the Gov
ernor will appoint two Justices of the
Supreme Court to hold until the general

ful, beneficial or necessary purpose, or
for drainage; or for drainage of mines
of the workings thereof, by means of
roads, railroads, tramways, cuts, tunnels,
shafts, hoisting works, dumps or other
necessary means to their development, or
any other use necessary to the complete
development of the natural resources of
the state or preservation of the health of
Its Inhabitants, Is hereby declared to be a
public use, and subject to the regulation
and control of the state.
Sec i. The right to appropriate the un
appropriated water of any natural stream
to beneficial uses shall never be denied.
Sec 3. The use of all waters now ap
propriated for sole, rental or distribution,
also of all waters originally appropriated
for private use, but which, after such ap
propriation, has heretofore been or may
hereafter be sold, rented or distributed.
Is hereby declared to bj a public use and
subject to the regulation and control of
the state In the manner prescribed by
law; but the right to use and appropriate

authority of and In a manner prescribed
by law.
Adopted by the House February 15, 1SS3.
and February C, 1S&5; concurred in- by the
Senate February 17, 1SS3, and February 13,
1SS5.
Repealing' Amendment.
Repeal section 35, of article I, which
reads:
No free negro or mulatto, not residing
In this state at tho time of 'the adoption of
this Constitution, shall come, reside or
be within this state, or hold any real es
sate, or make any contracts, or maintain
any suit thereon: and the Legislative As-
j sembly shall provide by penal laws for
the removal by public officers of all such
negroes and mulattoes. and for their ef
fectual exclusion from the state, and for
the punishment of persons who hail
bring them Into the state, or harbor or
employ them.
The foregoing section of the Constitu
tion was annulled by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. While it can do no harm,
the colored people have- for years demand
ed its repeal. When the Oregon Constitu
tion was pending in Congress in 1E59. this
provision was the object of spirited at
tack from the anti-slavery leaders. Thej
contended that If Oregon was admitted
with the provision In the Constitution the
effect would be to make It a slave state.
But the Civil War. which broke out two
years after the admission of Oregon, set
tled the stavery question,
i The Joint resolution providing for the
repeal of section 36 of article I was
adopted by the House January U. 1SS3,
and January 30. 1S95, and by the Senate
January 30, 1S33, and February 12, 1S35.

City Parle Law.
The city park law. which Is submitted
for ratification or rejection, proposes to
turn over the management of city parks
In towns of 3000 population and over to
park commissioners, who shall have power
to levy a tax of mill annually for main
tenance. On the basis of a taxable valua
tion of J23.567.610. this would raise nearly
$14,300 for Portland for 1900. The full text
of the act was published recently.
IN THE SEVERAL COURTS.
Injunction Against Removing Im
provements at Evergreen Parle.
W. K. Smith yesterday filed suit In the
Stato Circuit Court against Lizzie Smith,
alias Liverpool Liz, Harry Busch. H.
Chase and John Darrow, to prevent the
removal of the buildings, fence and other
structures from Evergreen Park, situated
near Piedmont. Mr. Smith Is the owner
of the ground, and it appears that during
the past few days the defendant, Lizzie
Smith, has had men at work tearing down
structures and taking the material away.
On motion of Ed Mendenhall, attorney for
the plaintiff, and the filing of an Indem
nity bond, Judge Cleland directed the de
fendants to appear Monday, May 23, to
show cause why an Injunction should not
be granted, and a receiver appointed, and
In the meantime ordered the defendants
to desist from damaging, removing, dis
posing of or Incumbering any of the ma
terials, lumber, fence, structures, posis,
doors, windows, etc, or from selling or
disposing of the same.
Probate Matters.
P. T. Smith, executor of the estate of
James John, deceased, filed a petition ask
ing to be allowed to sell property to pay
$4000 attorney's fees to Catlln & Koliock.
H. B. Nicholas and E. N. Deady for suc
cessfully resisting the suit of Benjamin
John to set aside the will. The suit was
finally disposed of in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeal. John devised his
property to trustees for school purposes.
It is valued at $00,000.
David M. Dunne petitioned to be ap
pointed administrator of the estate of
Oliver Van Duzer, who died In San Fran
cisco in December, 1S99. The copy of the
will admitted to probate in that city shows
that he bequeathed considerable share of
his estate to his contracted wife and part
ner, Mrs. Ellen G. Johnson, and the re
mainder to brothers and sisters In New
York.. He left property in this state In
Tlbbetts' addition and at Astoria.
The final account of J. P. O'Brien, ad
ministrator of the estate of Margaret Si
mons, deceased, was submitted, showing
$200 balance and all claims paid.
Court Notes.
Judge Bellinger yesterday appointed S.
E. Van Vater United States Commission
er at Condon, GUIlam County.
In the suit of Hans Larson vs. A. W.
Botkln, W. W. Slbray et al., a decree
has been entered foreclosing'1 a mortgage
for $1427 on lot 3, block 6, Mount Tabor.
In the suit of the United States Mort

SPLENDID ART EXHIBIT
WORK BT GREAT MODERN PAINT
ERS XOW OX DISPLAY.
They May Be Seen DnrlriR the Xext
, Fe-iv Days at a Sixth-Street
Store.
An unusually Interesting collection of
paintings containing work by some of tho
best artists of the present day is on ex
hibition at C A. Wha'e's music store, on
Sixth street, between Alder and Wash
ington. The visitor who happens to bo
an art connoisseur will find much to de
light him, and is quite likely to go into
transports of admiration over these
charming productions. One of them la
held as high as $1500, and the prices of the
others descend from this to amounts that
are within the reach of persons of mod
erate means. The collection Is for sale,
and Is owned by William Morris. Asso
ciated with him 's Willis B. Fry, form
erly of Portland.
One of the first pictures to catch the eye
Is "The Morning Newe," by Torrlnl, the
celebrated figure-painter. The wonderful
fidelity with which the artist has char
acterized the old reader, the absolute un
consciousness of his mien, and the keenly
appreciative expression on his face are
portrayed wllh rare skill. "Moonlight In
Holland" Is by C. Treedupp, who Is noted
for his beautiful moonlight effects, and Is
a pupil of Duzetta, the great Italian
artist. The compos'tlon shows an old
windmill by the edge of a lake, the re
flected light of the moon In the water be
ing a marvelous study. The middle dis
tance gives proportion to the light and
shades of the composition, the cloud
masses being particularly well handled.
"A Glimpse of the Highlands." by
Wright Barker. Is one of the strongest
paintings In the collection. The three
soft-eyed, cud-chewing cattle In the fore
ground have been compared with the work
of Rosa Bonheur. The bold peaks of the
Highlands are partially ehown through the
misty clouds that are rising from the
valley below, while the gleam of sunshine
that Illumines the loch In the middle dis
tance gives value to the otherwise som
ber character of the landscape which Is
so characteristic of Scotch scenery.
Frederick Remington, well known to all
American magazine readers for his ra
mous studies of the horse, has two fine
water colors representing a phase of
frontier life. One of them shows a
French trapper on the Oregon trail, and
the other Is a cavalry officer standing at
rest, scanning the landscape. The trap
per Is mounted on an Indian pony, and
is bracing himself against the blizzard
that Is blowing violently against his face.
It Is treated with masterly vigor and
strength, and should particularly com
mend Itself to pioneers of the Northwest.
"A View of the Ocean," by K. W. New
hall. Is a fascinating study of water In
motion, the transparency of the color,
the gray green of the shoal water. Is true
to nature, and bears testimony to the
skiii and sincerity of this noted artist.
A pastoral by Westerback, a Dutch
painter and pupil of the famous master,
Anton Mavue. lately deceased, shows a
flock of sheep grazing on the dunes that
are sparsely covered with grass. The
grouping Is managed with consummate
art so as to give the effect of movement
and life.
Many other notable paintings, many of
them by American artists whose' rank Is
the highest, are to be found on exhibi
tion. There are some especially fine fruit
and flower pieces, one of flaming Torquay
grapes being remarkable for Its brilliant
translucent coloring. It Is by a Califor
nia woman who is destined to become fa
mous In the near future, if nothing hap
pens to cut short her career.
This collection will remain on display a
few days longer, and should be visited
bv all lovers of art.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something. If the head Is crown-d with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, lt is
now known. Is caused by a parasite that
burrows Into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where It saps the vitality. The little
white scales the germ throws up In bur
rowing are called dandruff. To cure dan
druff permanently, then, and to stop foil
ing hair, that germ must be killed. New
bro's Kerpicide. an entirely new result
of the chemical laboratory, destroys the
dandruff germ. and. of course, stops the
falling hair, and cures baldness. When
