Baldness is in all cases SCIENTISTS who study the laws of inheritance have found that acquired many years after birth and it is therefore agreed that it is not inherited. Thomas case histories further prove that many men who are bald have fathers and grandfathers with good heads of hair. It is also found that many men keep good heads of hair throughout life even though their fathers were bald at early ages. Eighty-five percent of all cases of baldness can be traced to neglect or to one or more of 14 local scalp disorders. Thomas treatment over- comes all of these local scalp conditions—ends dandruff, stops falling hair and re-grows hair on the thin and bald spots. Come in today and receive the benefit of sound advice from a Thomas expert. No charge is made for consultation nor for scalp examination. (Always in private).
