LACK OF HAIR 0 40 MAKE THIS TEST Cover the left half of the above picture. Note how old the face looks because the scalp is bare. Then cover the right half and notice how much younger the same face appears cause the scalp covered with hair. NO SURE method of preventing baldness or re-growing hair was known thirty years ago. Then—men experimented with cure-all remedies which usually did more harm than good. Now—a few old-fashioned men still use their scalps as experimental laboratories for patent remedies and barber-shop treatments. But modern-minded men have learned that baldness can be avoided and hair can be re- grown, when proper specialized treatment is administered to the scalp. Thinking men realize that the science of hair culture has advanced in pace with other scientific discoveries. They know that Thomas treatment offers the most precise, reliable method known: to modern science, of overcoming the various types of dandruff, stopping abnormal hair-fall, and re-growing hair on thin or bald spots. Thomas is help- ing 1600 persons each day to have good, healthy heads of hair—and can do the same for you Call Today for a FREE Scalp Examination.
