Nu-Life Method, 89 Front Street, Juneau, Alaska. Dear Mrs. Click, Mgr. I have received your letter dated January 29, regarding what the Howard Method did for me, which ad appeared in the Seattle Star on January 12, 1932. When 1 first called at the office of the Howard Method, T was completely bald, with the exception of a few thin lifeless hairs on the crown. At that time I was rather skep- tical that new hair could be grown on my head, as I had parted with plenty of money for highly advertised “hair growers,” none of which helped a bit. - Mr. Howard politely informed me he could cover my head with a growth of hair. I took him at his word and began with his scientific treatment, and after approximate- ly six months treatments, I have today a thick, healthy head of hair. My friends are amazed at the results and all bave asked me how I overcame baldness. Mr. Howard certainly does wonders, and he is considered as Seattle’s leading Hair Spec- ialist. You may feel sure I am a Howard booster, for he has done much for me. YOU TOO . DANDRUFF— ITCHING SCALP— DRY and LIFELESS .
